Internal Revenue Service Practice & Procedure Deskbook (Practising Law Institute Tax Law & Estate Planning Library)

While the IRS has taken several steps over the past decade to be kinder and gentler to taxpayers, the agency still has plenty of bite when an individual fails to comply with any number of rules. PLI s Internal Revenue Service Practice & Procedure Deskbook fortifies your ability to protect and advance clients interests in their often-complicated dealings with the still worrisome IRS. Written by a tax expert and former IRS examiner who knows how the agency thinks and works, the Deskbook shows you all the steps that help you to favorably resolve IRS audits; draft opinion letters and other key documents; successfully litigate tax disputes; neutralize the IRS s summons power; effectively appeal IRS decisions; reach positive settlement decisions; and defeat burdensome IRS information demands. The Deskbook also keeps you mindful of the agency s aggressive enforcement activity, including its continuing crackdowns on fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, and embezzlement. Updated at least once a year, Internal Revenue Service Practice & Procedure Deskbook is an indispensable resource for tax attorneys, estate planners, accountants, and auditors, and useful and accessible reading for individuals dealing with the IRS.
