jainen Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Check this out. http://tax.aicpa.org/NR/rdonlyres/59F11538-2F23-4583-84A5-ED06D01CDBCC/0/SSTS_Online_PDF.pdf I guess that few of us on this forum are members of AICPA, but clients can still hold practitioners to common industry standards of ethical behavior. For 2010, this organization is raising the bar a bit more. In particular, it is no longer enough that a position on a return one signs be non-frivolous. Now it must have a realistic possibility of success, or at least a "reasonable basis" with adequate disclosure. In my opinion, tax professionals who continue to say "let the client decide" are acting unethically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb39 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Our two day tax seminar school this year spent at least two hours on the subject of preparer ethics. It is becoming a huge issue, as it should be. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
