I wrote a blog post a few years ago on non-attorney admission to the Tax Court that has become one of the most popular blog posts written on our site. Because of the interest in the subject, I wanted to provide this short update because the Tax Court has recently updated its procedures. You can find the updated procedures here. The Tax Court admits non-attorneys for historical reasons. You can read about the history behind this in the Court’s authorized and terrific biography, which was updated a few years ago by Dean Brant Hellwig of Washington and Lee Law School. There are some non-attorney Tax Court practitioners in the Boston area I know who use it as an adjunct to their practice as enrolled agents. If you are interested in taking the test, I suggest reading about the updated provisions.

Comment Policy: While we all have years of experience as practitioners and attorneys, and while Keith and Les have taught for many years, we think our work is better when we generate input from others. That is one of the reasons we solicit guest posts (and also because of the time it takes to write what we think are high quality posts). Involvement from others makes our site better. That is why we have kept our site open to comments.
If you want to make a public comment, you must identify yourself (using your first and last name) and register by including your email. If you do not, we will remove your comment. In a comment, if you disagree with or intend to criticize someone (such as the poster, another commenter, a party or counsel in a case), you must do so in a respectful manner. We reserve the right to delete comments. If your comment is obnoxious, mean-spirited or violates our sense of decency we will remove the comment. While you have the right to say what you want, you do not have the right to say what you want on our blog.
