Practising Law Institute (PLI), the nation's leading provider of continuing legal education, announces the release of The Circular 230 Deskbook - the first comprehensive treatise designed to ensure compliance with the expanded Circular 230 rules for written tax advice, which affect tax lawyers and anyone else whose practice deals with federal tax issues. The Circular 230 Deskbook provides detailed, section-by- section coverage of Circular 230, including the six types of Covered Opinions subject to the new rules, as well as related discussion of deference issues in the federal courts, new penalties for violations, and the Reportable Transactions mandated by the Internal Revenue Code. To help ensure full compliance with demanding new requirements, The Circular 230 Deskbook offers laminated, quick- reference charts, including a Circular 230 decision tree -- a chart for complying with Circular 230 -- a Covered Opinions checklist -- a tax practitioner conduct chart -- and a reportable transactions decision tree -- all of which are also reproduced in the appendix.
