Find out how to be prepared for the estate and gift tax audit and get practical advice for responding to the IRS.
Many gift and estate tax return preparers do a great job in taking appropriate reporting positions on the returns they prepare, but are not as familiar with the ins and outs of an IRS audit and the issues that are more likely to raise IRS scrutiny. This topic will help you better understand the more common IRS challenges to gift and estate tax returns and how to prepare for audit at the planning stage. You will learn more about the IRS's return selection process, appraisal issues, how IRS Appeals works, and choice of forum if litigation becomes necessary.
