Course Overview

Preparing tax returns doesn't necessitate professional status, but it does demand strict adherence to regulations when handling tax-related matters and representing clients before the IRS. 

Circular 230 serves as the definitive guidebook the United States Treasury employs to govern and regulate these activities. The consequences for violating statutes and regulations related to tax preparation can be severe, with return preparers facing sanctions, penalties, and, in some cases, imprisonment. For CPA firms that are heavily involved in tax preparation, understanding and abiding by Circular 230 is essential. This comprehensive course is indispensable, providing insights that empower CPAs to navigate the intricate rules confidently. Yearly, numerous return preparers violate these regulations, only to be identified and penalized by the IRS. 

Join this CPE Course to equip CPAs with a thorough understanding of the rules, ensuring compliance and instilling confidence when delivering tax preparation and IRS representation services to clients.

Key Topics:

  • The authority of Circular 230 on return preparers
  • The possible penalties for violating Circular 230
  • How to answer ethical situations with clients
  • Characteristics of return preparers who prepare false tax returns
  • How to identify the violations in real-life examples

myCPE is a great value! The instructional on demand webinars are great as I can learn on my time, anytime of the day or night. I can also "rewind" the information, this is the added plus for note taking, etc. In live seminars, sometimes the speaker goes to fast and you miss info. Thank you!

This was the best class I have ever attended for Circular 230. It was not only informative but the instructor added his personal experience to handout information. The handouts were perfect--they were informative and added some examples of Rogue Return Preparers.
