Course Overview

This is a rebroadcast and not a live webcast.

Einstein was not wrong- taxes are hard to understand and conform to. Besides that, the IRS has standards and rules to follow as reflected in Circular No. 230. 

Circular 230 is the guide for specifics on the responsibilities and duties required of those who prepare tax returns and, give tax advice, as well as detailing who may represent taxpayers before the IRS. It details the regulations governing tax practices. It lists specific rules of appropriate behavior, basically making it the ethics guide to the tax practitioner.

Circular 230 prohibits practitioners from representing a client if the representation involves a conflict of interest. Circular 230 practitioners must recognize and avoid conflicts of interest, as well as when to step away from clients who experience them. A conflict of interest exists if there is a significant risk that the representation of one or more clients will be materially limited by the practitioner’s responsibilities to another client, a former client, a third party, or by the personal interest of the practitioner.

In this online webinar, you will learn everything about managing conflicts of interest between spouses, business partners, and tax professionals. It covers the power of attorney, IRS interactions, client privacy issues, and guidelines for professional advertising.

This CE Tax course will cover the following major topics:

  • Overview of Circular 230
  • Interacting with OPR
  • Brief Glossary
  • Practitioners: POA
  • Conflicts of Interest
  • Advertising and Fees

This CPE webinar by Eva Rosenberg is a part of the 10-part IRS Representation Series designed to provide a solid foundation for tax practitioners to handle all areas of IRS representation. 

You can also attend our certification course on IRS Representation.
