Learning Objective

  • To discuss where to look for ethical tax guidance.
  • To determine which parts of Circular 230 apply to your practice.
  • To explain how to properly utilize due diligence in tax practice.
  • To limit your professional liability with the use of ethical procedures.
  • To create a tax quality control document.

Course Overview

Ethical issues for tax practitioners typically arise from a conflict among the duties owed to the client, the system, and yourself. When conflicts arise, it is important to understand what standards will be used to judge your conduct.

The Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) at the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is responsible for all matters related to "tax practitioner" misconduct, discipline, and practice before the IRS. OPR’s vision, mission, strategic goals, and objectives support effective tax administration by ensuring all tax practitioners, tax preparers, and other third parties in the tax system adhere to professional standards and follow the law. To report issues, concerns, or any problems that you may experience contact the OPR at Internal Revenue Service.

Circular 230 is where tax practitioners have their main source of ethics. Often practitioners can inadvertently go astray of these rules. Currently, the IRS only requires practitioners who represent taxpayers before the IRS to follow Circular 230 due to the Loving case. It contains the regulations governing practice before the Internal Revenue Service. Practice before the IRS includes all matters connected with a presentation to the IRS relating to a taxpayer’s rights, privileges, or liabilities under laws or regulations administered by the IRS. 

In this IRS-approved practical CPE/CE webinar on Ethics, you will learn the ins and outs of Circular 230 along with real-life examples of practitioners who violated Circular 230.

Major topics included: 

  • Circular 230, Title 26 vs. Title 31, and Statutory Language
  • 5 USC 500, and Practice of Law 10.32
  • OPR, Due Diligence, and Return of Client Records
  • Negotiating a check
  • Subsection C 
  • Misleading information, Admin Penalties, and Mens Rea

Jonathan Gentry, Tax Professional

I felt that the key points were addressed. There was a few points that were glossed over, but it was understandable as they were rather straight forward. I do think there were a good amount of examples. The review, and final quiz were straight forward and didn't try and mislead me which I really like.

Dean Rakoskie, AFSP

I have taken AFSP Ethics courses dealing with Circular 230 for the past several years. This is the best course on this subject I have taken. The instructor knew the material, gave excellent examples based on his experience, and made it relevant to small tax preparers such as myself! Excellent course!
