Understand your obligations imposed by updated Treasury Circular 230 and the impact of court decisions and possible legislative actions.
IRS Circular 230 Compliance Update will cover real life examples of tax ethics and how they can affect practitioners. Most violations of Circular 230 are incidental but still can affect the practitioner's right to practice before the IRS. In this topic, we will discuss the most common ethical provisions that practitioners go astray on. We will also look at the new developments in the tax ethics realm.
