IRS Disputes — How Tax Controversies are Resolved

Elizabeth Drigotas (host), Bob Brazzil and Bryan Slone

Beyond acting as technical and planning advisors, tax professionals are also skilled negotiators who deal with IRS exams, appeals, and notices. Handling IRS disputes is a stimulating and challenging aspect of tax that lets practitioners exercise personal relationship skills and the art of negotiation. We'll discuss:

• The IRS — how it functions, is organized, and approaches taxpayer disputes.
• After the examination notice arrives — how the IRS gathers information, procedural safeguards for the taxpayer, and key decision points at each stage of the audit.
• Current enforcement strategies, including application of penalties.

Learn from the ground up how successful tax professionals approach the resolution of tax controversies. 50 minutes.
