In this episode you will learn: - A practitioner must not unreasonably delay the prompt disposition of any matter before the IRS. - Using delay as a strategy, such as hoping an IRS agent will be reassigned, is a clear violation of Circular 230. - A practitioner is not absolved of responsibility just because a client is causing the delay; they must still act with diligence to move the case forward. - Filing for an extension is permissible, but using extensions as a tactic to obstruct or without a valid reason constitutes an unreasonable delay. - The EA exam tests this concept through scenarios that require you to distinguish between reasonable and unreasonable delays.
