Description

IRS Appeals is often the best place to resolve a tax dispute. Appeals can review almost all examination and collection determinations. A practitioner should not handle a complicated examination or collection matter without a thorough understanding of how Appeals operate. This is especially true with the recent changes in the independence of Appeals and the way Appeals handles cases. The course will review the appeals process and strategies for practitioners to represent a client competently before the IRS. State tax appeals will also be discussed and compared.
