In this episode you will learn: - Disreputable conduct includes not just federal tax crimes, but any felony or crime involving dishonesty or breach of trust. - Willfully failing to file your own tax return or attempting to evade taxes is a clear violation under Circular 230. - Using abusive language, threats, or knowingly false accusations against IRS personnel constitutes contemptuous conduct. - Knowingly assisting a person who is suspended or disbarred to practice before the IRS is grounds for sanctions. - Providing a false or misleading opinion, knowingly or recklessly, is a prime example of professional incompetence.
