The Knowledge Congress Has Scheduled a Live Webcast on New IRS Guidance Under IRC 7216

New York, NY, February 05, 2010 --(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 “New IRS Guidance Under IRC 7216 LIVE Webcast”. This two-hour event is scheduled on Thursday, April 22, 2010, at 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET.

Responding to taxpayer and return preparer requests for more help with the law that makes it a crime to misuse tax return information (IRC Section 7216), the IRS just released major guidance - regulations and two rulings (Rev. Rul. 2010-4 and Rev. Rul. 2010-5). This guidance answers some questions while raising others: What information can now be used without the client's permission and when? Are you covered by this law because you assist a return preparer? Comments on the proposed regulations are due in March.

The Knowledge Group has scheduled a Live Webcast on the new IRS guidance and the comments on it that will help you understand how these rules affect you and how you can avoid the criminal and monetary penalties for running afoul of them. If you prepare returns, serve return preparers or have your return professionally prepared and want to know what can (and cannot) be done with your confidential information, then join them for this program. Advanced registration is recommended as space is limited for this popular event.
