Chapter 2 is all about how the tax system in the United States functions. The Internal Revenue Code (legislated by Congress) is the highest tax authority in the country. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) enforces the tax laws. And if there is a disagreement between the taxpayer and the IRS, the matter may be litigated in court. Then you have tax professionals that represent taxpayers before the IRS. Tax professionals are bound by standards established by both the IRS and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Two questions: Do you think there are enough protections and resources for the taxpayer when dealing with the IRS? What surprised you the most about the tax practice environment?

If Hispanic children are not found in a specific section of your community (e.g., Chinatown in San Francisco or Harlem in New York), then you may select the section of the community where you live or work but pay particular attention to your practicum population and practicum problem as you conduct a survey of the community as viewed through the eyes of the public health nurse.By Day 7 of Week 3Submit a 3- to 4-page paper including · Introduction to the community, including the name of the community and any interesting or historical facts you would like to add about where you live· Photographs of the selected area of the community that serve as evidence of your observations and hypotheses· Windshield Survey findings, including a description of the section of your community that you chose to survey· Description of the Vulnerable Population and Available Resourceso Demographics of the vulnerable populationo What social determinants create their vulnerable status?o What community strengths exist to assist this population?· Conclusions based on Nursing Assessment of the Communityo Based on what you have found, what conclusions can you draw about your community and your selected population for your practicum?· Select at least 5 scholarly resources to support your assessment.
