QUALIFIES FOR NASBA IRS 1 HR

Summary

Learn all about the fundamental requirements for all tax practitioners as defined by Treasury Circular 230 – the basic rules that govern all tax practitioners authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS. Also, learn the tax rules that govern your practice that are not yet included in the Circular 230 (last updated in 2014), but which apply to your day-to-day operations.

Designed For:

Any Circular 230 practitioner who understands that the IRS is tightening up enforcement of tax practitioner ethics. This is designed for tax practitioners who want to learn to interact with clients professionally, avoid potential conflicts of interest issues between clients or between themselves and clients, to learn more about their rights and responsibilities with respect to powers of attorney and IRS representation – and how to avoid getting suspended by the IRS.
