IRS Audit Defense: Protecting Clients Before, During, and After an IRS Examination

Inside This Course:

This course runs the full audit lifecycle in the order a professional encounters it. It starts before any notice arrives, covering the mechanics of how the IRS scores and selects returns for examination, including a deep explanation of the DIF and UIDIF systems that most professionals have heard of but only a few fully understand, and the AI layer that now operates on top of those systems. From there it addresses who may legally represent a client before the IRS and what form that authority takes, including a complete walkthrough of Form 2848. It concludes with the examination itself, covering every stage from the initial notice through Tax Court. Real enforcement cases are cited throughout. Scenarios run through every major section to put the reader in the decision seat.
