Overview:

Research is a big part of being a tax practitioner. Researching income and adjustments to income is critical for arriving at the adjusted gross income (AGI). Using Internal Revenue Service (IRS) resources, professional publications, and articles that are written by practitioners will inform your decisions. There isn't always a clear answer, so relying on primary sources and applying the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) will provide you with the confidence to support the tax position you will recommend. You will need to form an opinion of the tax position based on your research and justify your interpretation of the tax code.

Scenario:

You are a junior accountant at a medium-sized CPA firm. Your department has flagged several cases that require a review of gross income. The research you perform will assist you in determining if the item under review needs to be reported as income and if so, how. Your manager would like you to document your interpretation of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and requirements to report (or not report) on the three cases under review.

Directions:

Use the Module Two Income Assignment Template(images below) and complete the table for each of the three cases you've selected. (An Example has been done for you in the First column). Complete the table for each case to demonstrate your application of the research process using the Tax Research Guide(images below). Be sure to cite your sources as shown in the example, specifically the IRC location, and interpret your understanding of the IRC language.

Based on your research, you will gauge your opinion of the tax position for each case and the confidence level followed by your interpretation of the IRC. You'll also make suggestions or requests for further information, as needed.

Throughout the table, you will address the following for each of the three cases you choose to research:

• Identify the research topic using specific words to describe the intent. Include the following:
  • Identify the area to be researched.
  • Specify the approach to the research to determine taxability.
• Identify a primary source using the IRC section number that applies to the case research topic. Include the following:
  • Use resources from the Internal Revenue Service
  • Mirror the example on the template and cite the IRS code. Be specific.
• Identify a secondary source using the section of an IRS publication that clarifies the issue. Include one or more of the following:
  • IRS publications
  • IRS forms and instructions
  • IRS articles
• Identify a supplemental source that describes the topic in plain language. Include one or more of the following:
  • Professional organizations
  • Professional articles
• State an opinion on whether income is taxable or nontaxable that is supported by research.
• Select a confidence level in the research. Choose high, medium, or low.
• Interpret the confidence level by connecting the research to the determination of taxability, making specific points. Include the following:
  • Explain why the research topic is taxable or not based on research.
  • Determine if additional information is needed to increase your confidence level.

The 3 cases you have chosen are:

1. Case #1: Grace-Ann received $100 a week to babysit for grandson, Alec, while his parents were at work.
2. Case $2: Cari's grandmother sent her $12,000 in May as a gift, and another $5,000 was paid directly to her school in August for tuition.
3. Case #3: Larry collected $4,500 in unemployment benefits from the State of Florida after being laid off from his former employer.

The following 2 images is the Assignment Template that should be used (the first column is the example, and the Case Titles are already filed in) just complete the rest of the table:

Not only does research help to inform the tax professional in preparing tax returns, but it also helps to guide taxpayers (your clients) through tax situations, especially when new guestions arise. There are several sources available for researching tax information. Not all sources carry the same weight or reliability as others. The primary resource for tax practitioners should be the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The IRC can be accessed from several locations, with many websites providing the IRC sections for review. When researching, you may come across several of these, especially from a basic internet search. Keep in mind that each year the IRS updates its forms and instructions to the most recent tax year once the tax filing season opens. Thus, look for the appropriate tax year in question for your research. Refer to How to Locate PRIOR YEAR forms to access prior year forms, if needed. Suggested Primary Resources * United States Code The United States Code (USC) includes an outline of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Title 26 of the USC specifically covers the IRC. It can, however, be challenging to navigate depending on what you are looking for. Below you will find tips on searching within the IRC via this website. * RS Website The IRS.gov site contains a lot of information but may also require adjustments in how you search for specific information. Below you will find tips for searching the IRS.gov website. * Journal of Accountancy e CPA Journal + The Tax Adviser Suggested Steps for Performing Tax Research 1. Identify the topic to research. Locate appropriate resources that discuss the topic. Assess the validity of the resources available. Review the resources based on the topic in guestion and any applicable details. Communicate the results of research to applicable parties (i.e., taxpayers or managers). oohwN Example of Tax Research Steps 1 Identify the topic to research. a. Your client would like to know if royalties received from co-authoring a textbook will count as taxable income. b. Your research topic is \"royalties.\" c. Your research question is, \"Are royalties taxable income?\" Locate appropriate resources that discuss the topic. a. Search terms should tie to the topic. b. Appropriate resources include primary sources, such as the IRC, IRS.gov, publications on Schedule E (or rent and royalties). You may also find applicable articles from other supplemental resources. Assess the validity of the resources available. a. Depending on the results found from the IRC or IRS.gov, you might expand your search to articles from reputable sources {supplemental resources). Review the resources based on the topic in question and any applicable details. Ask yourself these questions: a. Did the resources | found answer my question? b. Did they address the question at hand in full? c. Would additional information help in continuing to research the topic at hand? Communicate the results of research to applicable parties (i.e., taxpayers or managers). a. When you have found sufficient research to answer the question at hand, you can communicate the results to the taxpayer, with suggestions if they would be helpful. For example, perhaps there are steps that can be taken in the future to help the tax situation in some way. Citing your sources When citing the IRC, be sure to include the Title of the USC by number, such as Title 26, and note where the information was found within the \"IRC" by section. For example, a citation for Title 26 IRC Section 61 for Gross Income should be cited like this: 26 USC 61. Gross income defined. In another example, a citation for Title 26 IRC Section 61 for a more specific section within the IRC, such as royalties, used in an example below, should be cited like this: 26 USC 61(a)(6). Gross income defined. Alternatively, you can also cite these by specifically citing the IRC versus the USC: IRC Section 61(a)(6) Note: For something well within a specific section of the IRC, it becomes more important to cite the specific path that you take to would find the topic being cited. For example, to cite Title 26 IRC Section 62 that discusses expenses for elementary and secondary school teachers, you would want to cite: 26 USC 62(a)(2)(D). Certain expenses of elementary and secondary school teachers. Best Practices in Searching the IRS Website Prioritize using advanced search features, if possible, to reduce the number of results returned. Use quotations around search terms to reduce the number of results and to obtain a closer match. . . Use "Googling" techniques to help reduce your research time. o To use Google for research items you would like to review specifically from the IRS.gov website, search "Child Tax Credit IRS.gov" in Google (as opposed to searching on the IRS.gov site directly).
