\"\"<\/a>Recently we posted an article updating you on the RTRP Court Ruling as of February 1<\/span>st<\/sup>, 2013.\u00a0 The IRS continues to battle the ruling, attempting to advance its case as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

The IRS took advantage of its right to file an appeal within 60 days from the ruling, and on February 21st<\/sup>, 2013<\/strong>, the Department of Justice filed an appeal on their behalf, safeguarding the IRS\u2019s right to fight the recent ruling on Living v. IRS, which could prevent the IRS from testing and regulating paid tax preparers.<\/p>\n

Deputy Director of the Return Preparer Office, Preston Benoit, said that as a result of the injunction the IRS is currently unable to recognize nor endorse the RTRP credential.\u00a0 However, he also said there is nothing preventing tax professionals from displaying certification, although the IRS is not commenting on RTRP credential usage or the ongoing litigation.\u00a0 Speaking for the IRS, Benoit said they are trying to quickly resolve the matter and are considering instituting voluntary testing for those interested.<\/p>\n

On February 26th<\/sup>, 2013<\/strong>, the Department of Justice, acting in behalf of the IRS yet again, filed a Government\u2019s Motion for a Stay Pending Appeal.\u00a0 This motion is intended to reinstate the IRS\u2019s testing and registration program for tax preparers during the appeals process.\u00a0 According to the NATP website, \u201cThe motion argues that the stay is in the best interest of the IRS, tax preparers and most importantly, taxpayers.\u201d\u00a0 The motion states that \u201cthe greatest harm from the injunction will come in 2014, when the regulations meant to guard taxpayers from incompetent and unethical tax-return preparers are scheduled to become fully operational.\u00a0 The IRS estimates that fraud, abuse, and errors cost the taxpaying public billions of dollars annually.\u201d<\/p>\n
