In this webinar, we will discuss sources and standards of tax ethics and best practices to ensure compliance and to avoid penalties. In reviewing the requirements of Circular 230, the AICPA Statements on Standards for Tax Services and the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct, we will touch on common practice issues including: what standards must be met to take a position on a tax return, when you can omit an answer to a question on a tax return, when you must verify information provided by a taxpayer or third party, the use of estimates, correcting errors and omissions on returns, responsibilities when faced with a conflict of interest, and the form and content of advice provided to taxpayers. We will also discuss the necessity of establishing data security plans, requirements for providing tax return documents to third parties, and requirements related to the retention of client records and other documents.
