MaSEA May Ethics: When To Walk Away
With Karen Ceppetelli, Beth Logan And Ron Pallisco
When: May 19, 5PM-7PM
Where: Via Zoom
We’re going to focus on sections 10.34 d and 10.35 of Circular 230 and other relevant parts. We’ll address these by telling real stories of clients that came to us that we said “no, I’m sorry, I won’t do your taxes” and stories of “why did I say yes to doing that guy’s taxes?” Participants will be invited to tell their own stories and ask questions. Participants will receive 2 IRS CE credits for attending the course and completing the required poll questions throughout the duration of the webinar.
*Please Note, if you have signed up for the MaSEA CE Special, you will be automatically registered for this course during the week of April 28.*
