A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of one session from the June 2019 live seminar, 71st Annual Virginia Conference on Federal Taxation.
Virginia’s Premier Tax Conference for Attorneys and Accountants Sponsored by The University of Virginia Tax Foundation Cooperating Organizations: VSCPA, VBA, VSB, UVa McIntire School of Commerce, UVa School of Law
This presentation discusses the responsibilities and duties tax professionals must abide by under Circular 230 (codified as Title 31 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Subtitle A, Part 10 (31 C.F.R. Part 10)) and the American Bar Association Model Rules of Professional Conduct when advising clients on tax matters and representing taxpayers before the IRS. Because clients engage tax professionals to seek advice to minimize taxes, tax lawyers and accountants must reach the correct balance of their clients’ goals and their duties under the applicable federal and state professional standards. The goal of the CLE is to give attendees examples of common situations that arise and methods to apply the professional standards to guide how a tax professional should act.
