We have recently updated our Treatise, The Circular 230 Deskbook, which helps tax practitioners comply with complex Circular 230 amendments more easily — and avoid costly penalties and sanctions.

This new version includes the following:
• Revised section 1:2, Chevron Deference, examining SIH Partners
LLLP v. Commissioner, in which the court clarified the distinction
between a legislative rule and an interpretive rule for purposes of
the Administrative Procedure Act.
• New section 4:13.8[D][10], Supervisor’s Approval, explaining that
a section 6751 penalty can be assessed only if it is approved by
the immediate supervisor of the individual making such determination
or such higher-level official as the Secretary may designate.
• Updated Appendix L, IRS Form 706; Appendix M, IRS Schedule M-3
(Form 1120); and Appendix N, IRS Form 2848.

The Circular 230 Deskbook is an essential compliance tool for every tax professional who practices before the IRS.
