It is a crime to knowingly prepare a false tax return. Many return preparers are not aware of the severity of civil and criminal penalties for a false tax return. Not only can a CPA lose the ability to represent their client to the IRS, but the CPA can lose their CPA license and potentially go to prison. Every tax year, the IRS publishes various stories about how return preparers and their clients go to prison for willfully submitting false tax returns.
This course will discuss the ways that the IRS investigates bad return preparers. You will also understand the difference between simple mistakes versus a criminal act.
