Other States

IRS Circular 230

If and only to the extent that this publication contains contributions from tax professionals who are subject to the rules of professional conduct set forth in Circular 230, as promulgated by the United States Department of the Treasury, the publisher, on behalf of those contributors, hereby states that any U.S. federal tax advice that is contained in such contributions was not intended or written to be used by any taxpayer for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on the taxpayer by the Internal Revenue Service, and it cannot be used by any taxpayer for such purpose.

On June 21, 2005, new U.S. Treasury Department regulations governing the conduct of tax practitioners took effect. These regulations were revised again on March 26, 2008. Issued by the United States Treasury Department, these regulations are generally referred to as Circular 230. They have as a primary goal to curb abusive tax shelters. However, Circular 230 affects even routine written tax advice to clients. Our policy is to fully comply with these directives.

In order to comply with Circular 230, we have adopted policies that affect how we provide written tax advice to clients. Circular 230 requires that our written advice must either: (i) comply with the strict rules applicable to “formal” legal opinions, or (ii) contain a prominent disclosure that limits any taxpayer’s ability to use the advice for purposes of penalty protection. A suggested form of the disclosure reads as follows:
In accordance with Treasury Regulations Circular 230, we inform you that any tax advice contained in this communication was not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding tax-related penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any tax-related matter addressed herein.

Because formal legal opinions can be very costly to produce, and require levels of inquiry and verifications on our part as tax lawyers, most written tax advice we provide to clients will now include the disclosure that the recipient cannot rely upon it for penalty protection. Moreover, because precisely what constitutes “written tax advice” is not entirely clear under the new rules, most firms, including this one, will affix the necessary disclosure to every communication.

Failure to comply with Circular 230 can result in public censure or fines, and can even result in restrictions on the ability of a lawyer or firm to continue to practice tax law. While these Circular 230 rules remain in effect, we must comply with the new provisions.
