The IRS is not only busy cracking down on tax evaders both domestic and abroad, it is also tightening its grip on sanctioning who can practice before it. Recently, the IRS issued disciplinary sanctions to a list of tax attorneys, CPAs, enrolled agents, enrolled actuaries and enrolled retirement plan agents who violated IRS regulations for professional practice.

Here are some Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Tax Attorney, CPA or Tax Resolution Specialist to Solve Your IRS Tax Problems

CCH (http://intelliconnect.cch.com) reports:

Listing Published of Parties Subject to Disciplinary Sanctions for Violation of Regulations Governing Practice Before IRS

The IRS’s Office of Professional Responsibility has published the names of attorneys, certified public accountants (CPAs), enrolled agents, enrolled actuaries, enrolled retirement plan agents and appraisers who have been disbarred from practice before the IRS, have consented to suspensions from practice, have been placed under suspension from practice under the expedited proceeding provisions or have consented to the issuance of a censure. Attorneys, CPAs, enrolled agents, enrolled actuaries and enrolled retirement plan agents are barred from accepting assistance from, or assisting, any disbarred or suspended practitioner if the assistance relates to a matter constituting practice before the IRS; further, they cannot knowingly aid or abet another person to practice before the IRS during the period of that person’s suspension, disbarment or ineligibility.

In times like this, it is especially important to make sure that your professional tax attorney is well-qualified and abide by all IRS-set regulations. The last thing you want when resolving your tax problems is to find out that your tax representation is also in IRS trouble. Make sure that you do plenty of research to find the best qualified tax attorney possible. Read more about how you can find well-qualified professional tax help.
