Please join us for a comprehensive discussion on standards that professionals must adhere to as tax practitioners.  We will be covering the major governing rules, such as Treasury Circular 230, the AICPA Statements on Standards for Tax Services (SSTS), the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and common law.  Also included will be case studies illustrating dilemmas faced by tax practitioners.  This course is ideal for CPAs, EAs, or other tax professionals.

  • Identify the practitioner’s obligations to disclose certain client information when representing them against the IRS.

  • Recognize the sources that govern tax practice, such as Treasury Circular 230, the SSTS, the IRC and common law.

  • Differentiate the common law standards of reasonable behavior and when a tax practioner may be subject to negligence or other types of common law causes of action.
