Description :

The Internal Revenue Service routinely processes more than 240 million tax returns each year, many of them prepared by tax professionals. Not surprisingly, as tax law becomes increasingly complex, taxpayers often seek the assistance of knowledgeable professionals to represent them with respect to tax and other matters before the IRS. However, the ability to represent a client before the IRS is, with certain exceptions, extremely limited. 

This course addresses the nature of practice before the IRS, identifies those permitted to engage in such practice and examines the power of attorney under which a taxpayer authorizes representation before the IRS. 

Please Note: This is a general ethics course for anyone who represents taxpayers on matters before the IRS and devotes more than 80% of its content to federal tax matters. This is NOT an IRS EA or Return Preparer approved ethics course.
