by Smelly Stinky Nefarious Tax Practice – New Home
Smelly Stinky Nefarious Tax Practice – New Home is SmellyStinkyEA.com which is a website where we intend to highlight several situations where egregious examples of tax practice at its worst that we believe need to be eradicated. They include:
Abuses of the OVDP Program and advisors offering US tax advice without being part of the US tax system.
“Unprofessional, incompetent or outright fraudulent conduct relating to the representation of taxpayers in connection with tax collection issues.”
Unprofessional, incompetent or outright fraudulent conduct representation in connection with California’s commercial cannabis industry.
While the basics of the regulation of US tax professionals will remain on this site, the bulk of future activity relating to this topic will be moved to the Smelly Stinky EA site.
