support items shown on a return. Taxpayers are required to substantiate business
deductions for travel and entertainment expenses. Substantiation of amount, time,
place, business relationship, and business purpose is generally required. For an
expense to be accounted for within a reasonable period of time, the taxpayer must
account for expenses within 60 days after they were paid or incurred.
,Return transcripts are available for all of the following EXCEPT
Answer D is Correct.
Tax returns can be printed as transcripts to show most of the numbers reported on
the return and those from accompanying schedules or forms. In many cases,
transcripts are used instead of making copies of tax returns. Transcripts are only
available for the following returns: Form 1040 series, Form 1065, Form 1120,
Form 1120-A, Form 1120-H, Form 1120-L, and Form 1120-S. Form 1099 is not
available as a return transcript.

, D.Before the penalty has been assessed, the EA can submit a written request for
penalty abatement. - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅B.After the penalty has been
assessed and paid, the EA can file a claim for refund with the IRS.
Answer B is Correct.
Taxpayers have the right to challenge the assertion or assessment of a penalty and
generally may do so at any stage in the penalty process. A taxpayer may request an
abatement and refund after the payment (claim for refund).
