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.

Free One-Hour Briefing on BEPS: What’s Next?

July 31, 2014 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. (E.D.T.)

Over the past year, the United States and other countries in the G-20 and the OECD have been working to develop and implement an Action Plan on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting, commonly referred to as “BEPS.” The Action Plan includes 15 “action items” and a tight timetable over the next 18 months for delivering the identified outputs.
In this One-Hour Briefing, John L. Harrington, partner at Dentons US LLP, and Robert B. Stack, U.S. Treasury Deputy Assistant Secretary (International Tax Affairs) (invited) will discuss how these BEPS developments and proposals will affect U.S. companies with cross border activities. The program will focus on:

  • Likely recommendations regarding the digital economy, hybrid mismatch arrangements, abuse of tax treaties, and transfer pricing documentation and treatment of intangibles
  • What U.S. companies should be doing to prepare for the changes likely to result from BEPS
  • What U.S. companies should be doing to provide input in the process
