With the challenges of staffing and the pandemic, the IRS has increased its use of automation, including the automated under-reporter and automated substitute for returns. Many of these proposed assessments either go unchallenged by taxpayers or, when documents are submitted, they are ignored by the IRS, leading to bad assessments and enforcement against taxpayers.
This webinar will explain the opportunities for practitioners to reopen assessed tax liabilities, including audit reconsideration, doubt-as-to-liability offers, amending tax returns, and challenging the assessment at a CDP hearing. The webinar will explain each option and when practitioners should consider utilizing each of them.
