Handle Complex IRS Audits and Aggressive Auditors
With less staff and more priorities than ever before, the IRS is pressed to do exams that show the potential to have significant results. This two-hour CPE webinar with Attorney Eric Green will bring you up to speed on the latest statistics, and what the IRS looks at when it focuses on certain businesses, including cash-based businesses and Schedule C exams. IRS exams are getting more complex and auditors are coming armed with a range of tools to ensure an assessment results. In addition to discussing IRS issues, Mr. Green will discuss what to do when the client’s records may not be as stellar as you would otherwise like, and what you can and cannot do about it. Incomplete records don't mean the case is hopeless but it does mean you'll need to do extra work and have a story that meets IRS standards and precedents from Tax Court and Appeals.
