In this episode you will learn: - Your two primary duties under Circular 230 §10.21 are to promptly inform the client of an error and advise on potential consequences. - You are strictly prohibited from notifying the IRS about a client's error without their explicit permission. - Forcing a client to file an amended return is not your responsibility; the decision to correct a past mistake rests solely with the taxpayer. - Withdrawing from an engagement is not automatically required if a client refuses to correct an error, unless that error impacts the accuracy of current work. - A helpful mnemonic: "Advise, don't advertise." Your role is to advise the client, not to advertise their mistakes to the IRS.
