A motion was made by Kay Corbin-Riddle, seconded by James Marshall and unanimously carried to approve the minutes of the September 24, 2012 meeting, with no corrections.
3. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Interim Changes and Renewals – Mr. Blackstone reported that new web pages for Interim Changes and Renewals are progressing at a slow pace. He had hoped that they would be up by the time of the Fed/State Tax seminars, but various delays, including Hurricane Sandy, which closed State office buildings for two days.
Fed/State Seminars – Mr. Blackstone attended and made presentations at all four fed/state seminars sponsored by the Comptroller’s Office, 11/09 – Easton; 11/14 – Frederick; 11/16 – Greenbelt; 11/19 – Martin’s West. He reported that he spoke on the topics of renewals, CPE, and the Code of Professional Conduct. The seminars went well, and Mr. Blackstone reported that there were far fewer questions this year about Maryland Registration, giving him the sense that the requirement was much better known this year compared to last tax season.
CERCA – Mr. Blackstone attended the Fall Meeting of the Council for Electronic Revenue Communication Advancement (CERCA) in Arlington, VA on 11/13. He reported that this was a valuable meeting in that several high level IRS speakers were engaged. CERCA meetings are not an opportunity for CPE, and therefore are attended by members of tax preparer community who are truly interested in the latest developments in tax direction. The main topic of this meeting was tax preparer fraud and identity theft.
4. OLD BUSINESS
There was no old business to report.
5. NEW BUSINESS
Initiatives to enlist the Office of the Comptroller in helping to enforce the Maryland Registration requirement – Mr. Blackstone reported that Board member, Rob Bader, and Robin McKinney of the Maryland Cash Campaign were interested in scheduling a meeting with key staff members of the Comptroller’s Office in order to investigate ways to find those tax preparers who are not registered and enforce their registration. Mr. Blackstone hopes this meeting will take place as early as December 2012. Board members, Elsa Nastase and Michael Canet, offered suggestions as to finding unregistered preparers through the process of signing returns.
2013 Calendar for the upcoming year – The dates for Board meetings in 2013 were proposed. In calendar year 2013, public meetings of the Maryland Board of Individual Tax Preparers will be held on the following Mondays at 1:00 PM:
