- Using abusive language, threats, or knowingly false accusations against IRS personnel constitutes contemptuous conduct.

- Knowingly assisting a person who is suspended or disbarred to practice before the IRS is grounds for sanctions.

- Providing a false or misleading opinion, knowingly or recklessly, is a prime example of professional incompetence.
