Syracuse University Ethical Guidelines for Tax Practitioners Discussion
Description
Students will write a 5-page paper (Times New Roman, 12 pt. font, 1 in. margins, double-spaced) on ethical guidelines for tax practitioners. The paper is based on the discussion of ethical guidelines covered in Chapter 17; however, students are expected to use source materials (e.g. Circular 230 and/or AICPA standards) in their paper. You will submit a 100-word proposal for the paper (5 points) and a 5-page paper (45 points) in the appropriate folder in Submissions. Due dates for the 100-word proposal and the ethics paper are in the course schedule..
The paper should focus on some aspect of ethical guidelines for tax professionals and should include a discussion of Circular 230, the AICPA SSTS, or the IRC penalty codes. You may choose to discuss all three ethical guidelines or your paper may examine one of these guidelines or compare and contrast two of the guidelines. The recorded lecture for week two provides further guidance for your paper. Please note that a paper which addresses the ethical requirements for accountants or auditors will NOT meet the requirements for this class.
