Advocacy Resources

Staying informed on federal actions is more important than ever. The volume of recent Executive Orders and policy changes can be overwhelming, and many have significant implications for our members.

To help you stay up to date, we’ve created this resource center—a collection of key news articles and updates, organized by industry and topic. We remain committed to a bipartisan approach, sharing relevant information that impacts the profession.

We’ll continue to update this page as new developments arise. If you come across valuable guidance or resources we’ve missed, please email us—we welcome your input!

We work with a government affairs consultant so that MTCPA has a strong voice in the legislative process. Our consultant monitors legislative activity, keeps us informed of bills that could affect CPAs, and advocates on behalf of our members to support policies that protect and strengthen the profession. By building relationships with lawmakers and guiding our advocacy efforts, they ensure MTCPA and our members stay proactive in shaping regulatory issues that impact the accounting field in Montana.

Communications & Liaison At-a-Glance

Stakeholder Liaison establishes relationships with practitioner and industry organizations representing small business and self-employed taxpayers. They provide information about the policies, practices and procedures the IRS uses to ensure compliance with the tax laws. They also elevate issues that affect tax administration using the Issue Management Resolution System (IMRS) – an internal database that streamlines and facilitates issue identification, resolution or response and feedback.

If you are a tax professional and believe you are a victim of a Data Breach, contact your local Stakeholder Liaison immediately.
