Write My Liberty ACCT 612 Assignments

Essay 1, due in week one, and Essay 2, due in week five, are each two to three pages with the number of citations the prompt requests, submitted through SafeAssign and worth 100 points.

Four forums fall in weeks two, four, five and seven. In each, the thread runs 400 to 500 words with four or more citations, and you answer two classmates in 200 to 250 words apiece with a pair of citations, all in current APA. Each forum is worth 50 points.

Memos 1 to 4, due in weeks two, three, six and eight, are tax research memos worth 75 points each.

Research Problems 1 and 2, due in weeks four and seven, are worth 50 points each.

The quizzes and the checklist make up the remaining 210 points.

Week one runs Monday to Friday and every later week Saturday to Friday, so each due date falls on a Friday.

Memo fact patterns come from your instructor, so each memo is written to the facts your section sets rather than a textbook example.

A problem set may hold several short questions, each answered separately with its own citation.

The essays pass through SafeAssign, so each is written fresh for your prompt.

The four quizzes, worth 50 points each, are taken by you.

Each memo follows the standard format: facts, issues, conclusions, analysis and authorities.

The issue reads as a narrow yes-or-no question, for example whether a settlement paid to a former employer qualifies under Section 162, and the conclusion responds to it before any analysis.

The analysis cites the Code section, the regulations, any relevant rulings and the cases, and explains the weight of each.

Cases are checked in a citator before they are cited.

For problem sets, every response lists three things: what the answer is, which authority supports it, and how it was located, naming the service, the terms searched and the provisions read.

Essays argue one side of the prompt with the number of sources it names; ethics prompts draw on the AICPA's tax services standards and on Circular 230.

A thread on authority might compare a Treasury Regulation, which carries the force of law, with a revenue ruling, which binds the IRS, and a private letter ruling, which binds only for the requesting taxpayer.

Where the facts are uncertain, the memo names the facts that would change the answer and recommends what to confirm with the client.

When a memo turns on case law, it notes which circuit governs the taxpayer, since the Tax Court follows that circuit's precedent.

Planning memos in week eight compare two or three alternatives in a small table and recommend one.

Procedure questions, such as statutes of limitation or penalties, cite the Code section exactly and note any exception.

Replies add an authority the classmate did not use, such as a case that applies the regulation they cited.

Each memo lists its authorities at the end, with full citations to the Code section, regulation, ruling or case, so your instructor can check each one.

The writers are tax professionals, many CPAs in tax practice, enrolled agents or tax attorneys.

Client memos are a weekly part of their jobs.

They use professional tax research services daily.

A second writer reviews each memo before release.

The coordinator passes your files without your name.

Many have represented clients before the IRS in examinations and appeals.

Several have taught tax research to new staff, which is the skill this course teaches.

They know how much weight each type of authority carries, the core judgment in every memo.

One writer handles your whole order, so the four memos share a format.

Each memo's citations are checked a second time before release.

They write for clients who are not tax specialists, which keeps the analysis plain.

A memo that saves its answer for the last paragraph, or frames a fuzzy issue, gives points away.

They lose points when cases are cited without regard to which court decided them, or without a citator check.

Research problems lose points without the search path.

Essays lose points under two pages or with fewer citations than the prompt requests.

Forum threads lose points under 400 words or with fewer than four citations, and replies with fewer than two.

Memos also lose points when they cite a case that a later court has reversed or questioned, which a citator check would have caught.

Planning memos lose points when they recommend an option without comparing the alternatives.

Research problems lose points when the citation is to a secondary source rather than the primary authority.

Essays lose points when they describe an issue without taking a position.

Procedure answers lose points when an exception to a deadline or penalty is missed.

Forum replies lose points when they agree without adding an authority.

A memo takes three to four days, depending on the research.

A problem set takes two to three days.

An essay takes two days.

A forum thread takes a day, and replies a day after classmates post.

Memos are the largest lines, and ordering all four together lowers each.

Urgent memos cost more, since the research cannot be hurried.

Problem sets are priced by the number of problems, and essays by length.

Forum lines include both replies.

Ordering in week one lets the research setup carry across all four memos.

If you have started a memo, it can be finished from your draft.

Memo 4, the planning memo, takes about four days, since it compares alternatives.
