There’s no loving for preparer regulation at the DC Circuit. In a terse three sentence order, the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia refused to grant the IRS’s request for a stay of the court decision (Loving et. al. v. IRS et. al.) striking down the IRS’s preparer regulation scheme.
The IRS’s appeal will still be heard, and they still could win. However, tax preparer regulation for this tax season won’t happen.
