Texas CPA Suspended for Circular 230 Violation

Submitted by Melissa Hoffmann on Mon, 02/08/2010 - 15:52
  • Accountability
  • IRS

A CPA in Houston has been suspended for a year from practice before the IRS by the Office of Professional Responsibility for providing false or misleading information in connection with the preparation of his clients’ tax returns.

“Practitioners have a duty both to their clients and to the system to insure taxpayers are complying with tax laws and filing complete and accurate tax returns,” Karen L. Hawkins, director of the Office of Professional Responsibility, said in a statement.

Robert A. Loeser is alleged to have assisted his clients to lower their tax bills by claiming false business expenses on tax returns he prepared.

For no legitimate business purpose, Loeser’s clients were advised to forward funds from their businesses to two corporations Loeser controlled. The corporations then rebated the funds to his clients. Loeser prepared the clients’ books and business tax returns expensing and deducting the entire amounts that were paid to the corporations.

The IRS alleged Loeser violated Circular 230 by giving false or misleading information to the Department of Treasury and the IRS. The settlement agreement included a disclosure authorization that allowed the Office of Professional Responsibility to issue this release, the agency said.

Importance of "Ethics"

Submitted by Texas CPA CPE (not verified) on Thu, 09/16/2010 - 04:34.

At times CPAs get offended when their state requires them to take ethics courses to maintain their license but instances like this shows how important it is for a CPA or any professional to be honest/ethical towards their profession.
