Program Background

The Office of Professional Responsibility provides education and outreach to the tax professional community and administers the enrolled agent exam. To support the IRS' strategic priorities, OPR ensures the integrity and credibility of the American tax system by working through tax professionals and with IRS operating divisions and functions. Circular 230 changes have created a need to increase awareness among tax professionals regarding the consequences of non-compliance. This awareness, plus increased enforcement and additional legislation, should help deter non-compliance.

Business Objectives

To increase the percentage of tax professionals who do adhere to professional standards and follow the law by:

Establishing procedures to identify and address the most egregious non-compliance cases
Strengthening partnerships with tax professionals
Establishing and communicating standards of conduct for tax practitioners
Establishing and maintaining a system of tax practitioner oversight
Rejuvenating the referral process
Publicizing actions taken to promote the integrity of the system and deter further non-compliance
Establishing and administering a system of sanctions for tax practitioners who fail to observe standards of conduct

As for this complaint we are again being assailed by someone who will not follow the contract they signed, and will again claim we did nothing on their case. This is not true and as usual I cannot disclose specific details of this case because the law will not allow it.

This individual has made comments about pressure. If you mean the pressure that we want to collect our fees per contractual agreement and the multiple invoices we sent to this individual, then yes. Yes, we want the agreement to be followed just as in any other case. As for contacting the Attorney General in California, we are happy to defend this company's position in a venue in which we are actually allowed to state the facts because it is not a public forum. The Attorney General requires complete cooperation from both parties; not a first name only public complaint. As for the statement that we take advantage of our client's stress and depression, this is absurd and if it were true why would we take the time to offer Third Party Arbitration? We are fully prepared to defend our reputation in any venue. We see a lot of strong words in this complaint without substantiation. This individual states these things as facts, but I am sure you are aware that I can not respond with the real facts due to the private nature of this individual's information. This company will happily continue to attempt a positive resolution with any clients, past or present.

As always, we invite Rip-Off Report along with this individual to contact us so that we can come to an amicable resolution to this individual's problem.
