Maintaining Integrity: IRS Setbacks and Legal Ethics in Tax CourtnnRecent Tax Court cases have cast a harsh spotlight on IRS practices, reminding professionals that ethical conduct is paramount within the legal system. In the case of Lakepoint Land II, LLC v. Commissioner, the court found that an IRS manager had backdated critical penalty approval documents, and IRS Counsel was accused of making inaccurate and bad faith representations. This led to potential sanctions against the IRS due to misconduct. Similarly, in R.J. Channels, Inc. v. Commissioner, IRS Counsel's attempt to reconstruct a Notice of Deficiency was deemed improper, with the court criticizing the “slipshod-cut-and-paste” approach. These cases underscore the imperative for the government, just as for the governed, to adhere to the highest standards. As Justice Black once opined, “It is no less good morals and good law that the Government should turn square corners in dealing with the people than that the people should turn square corners in dealing with their government.”nn#kimandrosadollp #taxlawyer #tax #IRS #USTaxCourt...
