Course Description

Although the IRS has not updated Circular 230 in over half a decade, it is still the foundation for the ethical standards of tax professionals. Circular is meant to insure that practitioners are fit to practice before the IRS. Learn the Rules that practitioners must be aware of as they work with clients and represent clients before the IRS in any tax issues. It is critical to know how these changes will set new standards for quality tax practice and how those standards will be enforced by the IRS.

This course covers the current rules for powers of attorney, information access, IRS interactions, client privacy issues, and guidelines for professional advertising.
