Avoiding Ethical Violations
Includes a Live Event on 12/01/2015 at 2:00 PM (EST)
During 2011 the IRS announced major
revisions to Circular 230. In 2012 it announced new proposed changes. We
all try to the right thing but many of us have busy practices and those
pressures may cause us to inadvertently face an ethical problem.
Circular 230 has recently been revised and it has imposed new duties and
responsibilities upon practitioners who represent taxpayers before the
IRS. Anyone who practices before the IRS must comply with these
requirements. This class is designed to help you avoid violating your
ethical duties and topics include the following:
New standards and penalties for tax preparers
New Circular 230 duties
Potential conflicts of interest
Correction of taxpayer mistakes
What fees are unconscionable?
Return of client records
What taxpayer confidences may you disclose to the IRS?
Every
practitioner needs to understand his/her duties to the tax system and
to his/her client. This class will assist you in balancing those duties.
