Course Description

We all try to do the right thing, but many of us have busy practices, and those pressures may cause us to face an ethical problem inadvertently. Circular 230 imposes duties and responsibilities upon practitioners who represent taxpayers before the IRS. Anyone who practices before the IRS must comply with these requirements.

This class is designed to help you avoid violating your ethical duties and will discuss standards and penalties for tax preparers, along with circular 230 duties and potential conflicts of interest.

Learning Objectives: 


  • Identify the requirements of Circular 230

  • Recognize your duties to the taxpayer and the tax system

  • Identify the traps for unwary practitioners

  • List practice promotion rules

  • Identify how to correct taxpayer mistakes

  • Identify what taxpayer confidences you may disclose to the IRS
