Dear
Colleague:
As the premier provider of tax problem resolution training, we are dedicated
to providing the public with competent representation before the IRS and other
taxing agencies. One of our main objectives is to inspire public confidence in
the integrity and dedication within the profession.
ASTPS is a growing organization comprised of attorneys, certified public
accountants, and enrolled agents with a desire to provide tax problem
resolution services to businesses and individuals facing tax difficulties. Our
members are dedicated to understanding the administrative and procedural areas
contained in the Internal Revenue Code and in the tax laws of the states where
they practice.
As an association, we strive to elevate the standards in our practice area.
Some (non-member) practitioners have been guilty of abusing taxpayer
confidence by failing to put an end to the problems they were engaged to
resolve. ASTPS refuses membership to such practitioners and has disciplinary
procedures to assure members maintain the ASTPS standards of practice.
Consider the advantages of joining ASTPS. If you are already a member, we
appreciate your participation and dedication to the profession. If you have an
interest in belonging to an association that seeks to improve the working
relationship with the IRS and other taxing agencies, eliminate taxpayer abuse,
and generally raise the standards of the profession ASTPS welcomes your
membership.
As our web site develops, you will find it one of your best resources for news
and training opportunities so visit often for updates and member information.
ASTPS has a certification program available to members in good standing. If you have an interest in the certification program and in earning the
Certified Tax Resolution Specialist (CTRS) designation, contact the
association for more information.
If you have any questions you can call, write or visit us... in person or in
cyberspace.
Sincerely,
Lawrence M. Lawler, CPA, CTRS
National Director, ASTPS
