It depends on what you mean by "practice." Some lawyers are permitted to appear in courts of other states under a process called pro hac vice. Other lawyers appear in FEDERAL courts of different states, using only their credentials from their home state. Many lawyers are also licensed by more than one state (multiple bar exams, or petition for reciprocity, etc).However, in general, lawyers are only allowed to advise clients in their state of licensing, or regarding the laws of the state in which they are licensed. There are exceptions, such as Delaware business law, which nearly every Corporate attorney is trained to advise upon.A lawyer who is not licensed in Colorado, but retired there, was recently brought up on charges of "unlicensed practice," and successfully sued by a "client" for millions of dollars in damages.

First, there is a big distinction between "Practicing Before the IRS" and "Preparing a Return". Return preparers are generally not required to have any kind of licensing, though it does vary from state to state. To "practice", as in act as Power of Attorney for someone before the IRS, you must be one of the following: 1. An Attorney licensed by your State bar 2. A CPA licensed by your State 3. an Enrolled Agent (certified by the IRS) A few others as well can practice in limited circumstances, but those are the big three. Note, however, that there are not any requirements on where they can practice. In other words a CPA could be licensed by the State of California and represent taxpayers in New Jersey before the IRS.
