Treatise Update! The Circular 230 Deskbook: Related Penalties, Reportable Transactions, Working Forms

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.

The updated Treatise is available on PLI PLUS, our online research database.  If you’d like to order a print copy, please email libraryrelations@pli.edu or call 877.900.5291.

This PLI treatise helps tax practitioners comply with complex Circular 230 amendments more easily — and avoid costly penalties and sanctions.

The Deskbook shows you how to meet mandated duties applicable to six types of covered opinions; comply with critical requirements for written tax advice; carry out prescribed duties when advising in preparation of tax returns; satisfy reporting/list maintenance rules for six types of reportable transactions; qualify for ”safe harbors” that free you from burdensome Circular standards, exploit proven defenses against the Code’s § 6662 penalties, and avoid common errors that can trigger these § 6662 penalties.

The Deskbook brings you laminated, quick-reference compliance tools, including a Circular 230 written tax advice decision tree; a Circular 230 compliance chart for covered opinions highlighting exceptions and special rules; a Circular 230 compliance flow chart detailing affirmative duties and prohibited activities; a covered opinions compliance checklist; and a reportable transactions compliance flow chart.
