Course Description
Recent statistics reveal over 98% of tax court petitions are resolved without going to court, which means Enrolled Agents can represent and resolve most cases with a power of attorney and the proper training. This session will take you (as an EA) from audit all the way to the Chief Counsels Office to discuss the advantages of negotiating with an IRS Attorney. We will also explore options where the deadlines have expired, like offer in compromise, collection due process hearings, audit reconsideration, non-collectable status, and bankruptcy referral options. This session should encourage interest, thought, and understanding.
