In April of 2023, the IRS released a robust strategic plan covering fiscal years 2023-2031, which along with other initiatives, provides for enhanced enforcement of the U.S. tax laws. The information provided in this program is not intended to teach specific sections of the U.S. Tax Code. Rather, it provides practical information for non-tax practitioners on how to address their clients’ tax questions and concerns, including potential traps and pitfalls for the unwary. This program covers both civil and criminal IRS investigations as well as civil and post-conviction collection issues. The presenter has been representing taxpayers before the IRS in both civil and criminal matters for over 14 years and is a member of the American Bar Association – Section of Taxation – Civil and Criminal Penalties Committee, which meets annually in Las Vegas for the Tax Fraud and Controversy conference. Too often she sees clients who have been misdirected by well-meaning professionals (not just attorneys) which inspired the development of this presentation.
