I'm currently studying for the CFI initial ground and am considering taking the Basic Ground Instructor test. My thought is this - the IRS allows you to deduct training expenses once you're an instructor for subsequent ratings. Usually this means that someone who gets a CFI can write off training forwards the CFII or MEI. But based on the IRS guidance, I would argue that someone who holds a BGI could deduct subsequent CFI training expenses (going to check with AOPA on this).
I'm curious - is the BGI exam similar/the same to the CFI written? If I'm studying for it, will that cover me for the BGI? I'm employed as an adjunct faculty member at a local community college so I'm exempt from the FOI portion, which makes it even more easy to just take the BGI exam now.
Thoughts?
