Important Change
Confidentiality privilege expanded.
The confidentiality protection for communications between a
taxpayer and an attorney (privileged communications) has been expanded
to apply to communications involving tax advice between a taxpayer and
any federally authorized tax practitioners. Federally authorized tax
practitioners include attorneys, certified public accountants,
enrolled agents, enrolled actuaries, and certain other individuals
allowed to practice before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This
new provision is effective for communications occurring after July 21,
1998. For more information, see Confidentiality privilege,
later under What Are the Rules of Practice.
