There’s a Lid for Every Pot—What Every Tax Pro Should Know About ‘Simple’ Returns
This course explores some of the statutory and regulatory return preparation requirements to which a tax professional is subjected without respect to the perceived skill level necessary to complete a return. In addition, the course frames alternatives available to taxpayers with simpler returns (various free/low-cost tax return preparation options). Finally, it explores hazards to which supposedly simple returns expose a tax professional and reminds tax professionals of the value that even “simple” return preparation provides clients.
