Deborah Seifert, EA

The presentation appeared to be straightforward and good bullet points. There was a lot of detail given to better understand the items and processes of helping our clients when they receive notice of an audit. It is a good time for the tax preparer to assist their customer with value added support and should be emphasized with our small business customers as necessary and crucial responsibility of the information they are providing us in the preparation of their returns.

MR

Michael Rudy, CPA (US)

As a CPA and former IRS agent, everything we do for our clients goes into a funnel and a tax return is the result. This webinar reminds all of us key areas to ensure we focus on when reviewing clients books and when we are preparing their tax returns. More webinars similar to this should be offered!
