Jamie Patrick Hopkins (The American College), Loving v. IRS: The IRS's Achilles' Heel for Regulated Tax Advice?, 34 Va. Tax Rev. 191 (2014):
In
an attempt to regulate the multi-billion dollar tax preparer industry —
which employs hundreds of thousands of employees — the Internal Revenue
Service (Service) began developing rules pertaining specifically to
non-professional tax return preparers, previously unregulated by the
Service. However, the Service’s attempt to expand its regulatory reach
over non-professional tax return preparers was short-lived. It resulted
in a severely damaging decision in Loving v. IRS, in which the
court concluded that the Service had only limited statutory authority to
regulate non-professional tax preparers. While the Service focused its
attention on additional ways to rein in tax return preparers, tax
professionals took notice of the Loving I and II
decisions as they might apply in a broader context, and an important
question arose: to what extent can the Service regulate those tax
professionals, such as lawyers and certified public accountants (CPAs),
if the tax professional only provides tax advice or mere tax preparation
services but does not “represent” taxpayers before the Service?
