The Tax Court Has Updated Its Procedures for Non-Attorney Admission

Posted on Jan. 17, 2020

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.
