Tax practitioners are the gatekeepers to the country’s tax system and are subject to standards and penalties designed to ensure that practitioners give taxpayers clear and impartial advice about how to comply with the tax law. The Office of Professional Responsibility is charged with enforcing these standards and penalties and the IRS recently established the Office of Promoter Investigations to focus on practitioners who promote abusive tax transactions. This panel discusses tax
practitioner standards and how the IRS enforces those standards.
