Ethics Workshop 12/21: What To Do When the IRS Goes Off the Rails

Tax practitioners are governed by many various rules of ethics, including the IRS Regulations known as “Circular 230”. This program will cover the Circular 230 rules and everyday ethical issues that arise for private practitioners. But what about the IRS’s employees? What ethical rules constrain them from running roughshod over taxpayers? There are several bodies that govern IRS employees, including the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, and the IRS is policed by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (“TIGTA”). This special ethics program will cover what to do if the IRS violates the taxpayer’s rights, and what practitioners can do to protect their taxpayers and obtain a proper resolution. In this special workshop, you will learn:
  • Understand the ethics rules that apply to tax practice
  • Identify potential conflicts of interest and how to deal with them
  • Explain what the options are when an IRS Employee is violating the Taxpayer Bill of Rights
