Further Tax and IRS Circular 230 Disclosure
The United States Treasury Department has issued final regulations governing the issuance of written tax advice commonly referred to as “Circular 230” rules. Circular 230 contains new extensive due diligence requirements for “covered opinions” and “other written tax advice”. It also sets forth minimum required practice rules with respect to a written discussion of a federal tax issue. The regulations are intended to bolster the efforts of the Treasury Department and the IRS to combat abusive tax shelter advice and to enhance public confidence in the honesty and integrity of tax professionals. The regulations are also intended to deter taxpayers from engaging in abusive transactions by limiting or eliminating their ability to avoid penalties through inappropriate reliance on tax advisor’s advice. Additionally, the regulations are aimed at preventing unprincipled tax advisors and promoters from marketing abusive transactions to large numbers of customers based on opinion that fails to consider adequately the facts of the particular transaction.
