- An Oct. 21 webinar, “How Much Do You Know About Refundable Credits,” featuring IRS subject-matter experts.
- Tax tips highlighting Taxpayer Advocate Service resources available to tax professionals.
- Instructional videos that help tax professionals accurately complete Form 8867, Paid Preparer’s Due Diligence Checklist, avoid common Schedule C reporting errors, and navigate educational tools and resources available on IRS.gov.

Additional topics will include due diligence, identity theft prevention, cybersecurity, payment modernization, automatic exemption from penalty, Saver’s Match, Trump Accounts, and other filing season priorities.
“As the IRS prepares for the upcoming filing season by building on the historic accomplishments from the current year, I am pleased to recognize the important role that tax professionals play in that success and the steps IRS takes to support them,” IRS CEO Frank Bisignano said in a statement on Oct. 16. “Tax professionals further the IRS mission by educating taxpayers on how to comply with the law while helping them take full advantage of all the tax benefits to which they are entitled.”
The IRS encourages tax professionals to visit Tax Professional Awareness Week on IRS.gov for helpful resources, registration information for the Oct. 21 webinar, and other educational materials.
The tax agency said it will also make additional resources available on IRS.gov throughout the year.
