Description:

Description: The course introduces students to the use of decisional and statutory law in the tax field, and to the rules that govern professional responsibility in federal tax practice. The course presents a survey of the legal principles governing estates, trusts, and property in a context that sets the stage for later study in required and elective tax courses that depend on those principles. The professional responsibility component examines ethical issues which confront the tax practitioner, including problems of advice in return preparation, disclosing a weakness in the taxpayer's position, issues that arise in return examinations, disclosure of adverse facts and law, and the applicable standards promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service and the AICPA.
