AICPA Wasted Member Dues On IRS Lawsuit
Then my villainous cynical mind kicks in. Suppose large local and regional firms started pledging that any non-CPAs who touched your return would be people who had at least passed the IRS exam and challenged you to ask the larger firms if they could match that. A very large portion of the tax work done by the largest firms is actually done in India. Clients who take the time to read the voluminous engagement letters are aware of this, but still it might prove something of an embarrassment. If the firms went ahead and had their Indian employees take the exam, I’m thinking the Tea Party would have a blast with the long list of Indian names on the IRS preparer rolls.
What If Lois Lerner Was Right About The Tea Party?
One GD thing after another and now we are on Day 542 of the IRS Scandal, by TaxProf count, with no end in sight. Here is the question that is troubling me right now thanks to the e-mails I have been getting from Jenny Beth Martin. If there is a pretty compelling case that Tea Party Patriots Inc was intended from day 1 to be a political organization, rather than a social welfare organization, would that make any difference in how we view Lois Lerner?

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
