How is the gross income filing requirement determined for most taxpayers? The

taxpayer's standard deduction, including the additional amounts for age and blindness. However,

What is the difference between injured spouse allocation and innocent spouse relief? The

IRS provides an injured spouse allocation for the taxpayer to protect their portion of a refund

from a spouse's past-due federal income tax, unpaid student loans, or unpaid child and spousal

support, or state income tax.

The IRS provides innocent spouse relief to taxpayers who file a joint return and later learn that

their spouse has underestimated income (or overstated a credit or deduction) on the return.




What is a thorough interview? A thorough interview consists of asking general

information questions, then asking additional questions whenever information is incomplete or

seems inaccurate or inconsistent




What is a conflict of interest? Circular 230 states that a conflict of interest exists if the

representation of one client will be directly adverse to another client, or if there is a significant

risk that the representation of one or more clients will be materially limited by the practitioner's

responsibilities to another client, a former client, or a third person, or by a personal interest of the

practitioner.

What actions can resolve a conflict of interest? A conflict of interest is resolved when it is

acknowledged, disclosed to all parties, and the parties have consented to waiving the conflict.




What taxpayer information is confidential? Any information that could potentially

identify the taxpayer is confidential. Information includes (but is not limited to) name, address

and phone number, social security number, place of employment, and any information from a tax

return.




What is a tax preparer's responsibility upon finding out that a taxpayer has not complied with one

or more tax laws? A tax preparer must only advise the taxpayer of the noncompliance and

the consequences for not correcting the situation. The taxpayer is the only individual who can

decide to make corrections to their return.




What action should a tax preparer take if a taxpayer insists on reporting information that is

inaccurate? A tax preparer may not sign a return reporting clearly inaccurate information

or otherwise assist a taxpayer in filing an inaccurate return.
