## Step 1<br />The problem presents a situation where Bob, a tax law-certified volunteer, advised a taxpayer to not report cash income because the IRS does not know about it. This is a clear violation of the Volunteer Standards of Conduct, which requires volunteers to act in the best interest of the taxpayer and the IRS.<br />## Step 2<br />Bob's actions of preparing a tax return excluding the cash income also violate the Volunteer Standards of Conduct. This is because he is not acting in the best interest of the taxpayer and the IRS by not reporting the cash income.<br />## Step 3<br />The other options, Jim and Betty, are not involved in the violation of the Volunteer Standards of Conduct. Jim, the designated quality reviewer, was unaware of the cash income when he reviewed the return. Betty, the coordinator, is not mentioned in the problem.<br />## Step 4<br />Therefore, the correct answer is option A, Bob, the tax law-certified volunteer who prepared the return.
