CHAPTER 40
Duties and Restrictions Relating to Practice before the IRS
As a tax return preparer you must comply with the duties and restrictions of limited practice before the IRS. You must adhere to various duties and responsibilities in order to stay in good standing with the IRS and avoid disciplinary actions.
These duties and responsibilities are detailed in Part B of Circular 230, Regulations Governing Practice Before the Internal Revenue Service. (Rules for Part A of Circular 230 are discussed in Chapter 39; rules for Part C of Circular 230 are discussed in Chapter 41.) Understanding your obligations as a preparer is just as important as understanding the tax rules you use to prepare returns. This chapter discusses the duties and responsibilities in the same order in which they are presented in Circular 230.
