New York, NY, September 16, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast on “Coping with Section 6694 - Tax Preparer Penalties”. This two-hour event is scheduled on Thursday, November 12, 2009, at 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET.

New penalty rules for tax return preparers pose significant challenges for tax practitioners and their clients. There often is a great amount of uncertainty about what is a “tax shelter” and when and how to disclose return positions. Practitioners also must wrestle with how to conduct proper due diligence, understand the standards of conduct necessary to avoid 6694 penalties and determine when to rely on information provided by clients or third parties. If this weren’t enough, what else may lie ahead?

The Knowledge Group has assembled a panel of experts to help tax practitioners understand these concerns. In addition, this Live webcast will feature a bonus segment on estate and gift tax issues.
