Course Description

The Internal Revenue Service is often perceived as a clandestine, secretive organization. This course is designed to reduce ignorance of the tax system and improve knowledge of seemingly mysterious IRS processes. You’ll learn how to save valuable time representing clients while reducing the grief associated with resolving tax dilemmas.

The following topics are discussed in detail:

• Techniques for accessing and researching the Internal Revenue Manual
• How to provide relief for a delinquent taxpayer
• Tools and techniques for dealing with IRS Service Center processing problems
• Overview of what transpires during an IRS examination by a revenue agent and how the IRS evaluates the examiner
• How to negotiate an offer in compromise
• Techniques for working with the IRS appeals function
• Analysis of the IRS privacy, disclosure, and informant programs
• Utilizing the IRS Taxpayer Advocate’s Office to protect clients
• Resolving IRS penalty and interest assertions in the best interests of the client
• Overview of the IRS litigation process and client rights
