One transaction that would create nexus and income tax reporting requirements is providing services in the state and accepting orders. Nexus can vary by jurisdiction; it generally requires that a business commits to a particular type of action in the jurisdiction.

For our discussion, we focus on the Arizona Revised Statute 32-731 and what it requires of CPAs and the business entities under which they are allowed to operate. The formal name for this specific Statute is § 32-731 Certified public accountant partnership; qualifications (Justia, 2014). As a first point, partners must pay a registration fee every two years in the state in which they practice. They must also register with the board as a partnership of CPAs. In addition to this, the partnership must meet two requirements, being that: a minimum of one partner is a resident, certified, full-time CPA in good standing with Arizona and; at least fifty-one percent of partnership ownership, voting rights and financial interests (direct and indirect), are held by CPAs in good standing with Arizona. An additional requirement is that a partner responsible for supervision of attest services in Arizona, or signs reports for attestation services on the partnership’s behalf, must be certified. They must also meet experience requirements for these functions, as established by the board. One last requirement worth noting is that when a partnership applies for registration initially, or renewal, must list each state in which the partnership is registered or has applied for registry, licenses, or permits as a CPA partnership. They must also list any and all past denials, revocations, and suspensions of the same registry. Operating as a CPA and CPA partnership is an important privilege that requires strict adherence to avoid legal issues and protect the financial sector (Justia, 2014).   Justia.
