Tips for Handling IRS Field Audits

 

Gain real-world IRS audit strategies, Circular 230 tips, and insights to protect clients and your practice.

A diverse and wide range of professionals represent clients before the IRS, resulting in varying approaches to different topics and issues. This presentation offers practical, real-world guidance for professionals navigating the complexities of IRS field audits. Attendees will walk away with a clearer understanding of what it means to 'practice' before the IRS, how to stay compliant with Circular 230, and how to recognize situations that may require outside support for non-attorney representatives. You'll also gain valuable insights into managing all stages of a field audit--from properly executing Form 2848 to handling IDRs, taxpayer interviews, and even summons enforcement. The presentation also offers special insights into BBA partnership audits to help you better assist individual clients caught up in a centralized-partnership audit. This session will leave you better equipped to protect your clients and your practice by discussing oft-overlooked procedural pitfalls. Whether you're new to IRS representation or a seasoned practitioner, the strategies discussed will help you manage risk and maximize audit outcomes.
