Learning Objective

  • Identify conflicts of interest between client, tax system, and self.
  • Apply ethical standards to resolve professional dilemmas in tax practice.
  • Discuss how Circular 230 governs tax practitioner professional conduct.
  • Navigate ethical guidelines for effective client representation and compliance.

Course Overview

Conflicts in tax practice usually emerge from the tension between client interests, legal obligations, and ethical standards. Recognizing the applicable guidelines for assessing your behavior is essential in managing these ethical issues effectively.

This webinar will delve into the essential ethical guidelines and compliance requirements for tax professionals, focusing on the critical principles outlined in Circular 230 and the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). 

Participants will gain insights into drafting engagement letters that prevent unethical practices and learn strategies for avoiding involvement in illegal tax schemes. We will also address the ramifications of inappropriate conduct, such as threats, false accusations, and coercion, both toward IRS employees and within the professional community. We will review practical procedures for responding to allegations from the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) and discuss the steps to take if facing disciplinary actions. 

This CPE Course will equip tax professionals with the practical knowledge to navigate complex ethical dilemmas, uphold the highest standards of practice, and effectively manage compliance issues, empowering them to handle any situation.

Key topics covered:

  • Updates in Ethics
  • Circular 230 Updates
  • Restrictions on assisting or encouraging tax evasion.
  • Legal and ethical implications of engagement letter evasion.
  • Legal boundaries for interactions with IRS employees and clients.

Join this CE Course and equip tax professionals with knowledge of ethical practices, legal compliance, and handling moral dilemmas in tax representation and preparation.

Holly Jorud, CPA (US)

I have tried several CPE services over the years and usually am disappointed with the service offerings, especially with regard to ethics CPE. I loved this guy's casual style, knowledge, and discussion. This one CPE offered more interesting information that what I am used to with most. I have registered for 2 other classes this month and hope to experience the same. I am impressed!

Brenda Carney, EA

This was one of the best webinars I have attended regarding Circular 230, which tends to be a pretty boring topic. Nicholas made it much more interesting than it is. I did, however, have trouble understanding Nicholas, an I need to use the Captions Option. I don't know if he was speaking too quickly or if he just didn't enunciate enough. Overall, I throughly enjoyed it.
