This webinar covers the major aspects of a professional’s tax practice; i.e. planning, return preparation, and audit representation. This discusses three major subjects: first, client advance transaction planning, structuring, and coordinating; second, preparation of the actual federal tax return to be filed with the agency; and third, representing the client during an audit before an IRS revenue agent. The professional’s roles here and ethical positions may change. The degree of responsibility and related potential damages asserted by both the client and taxing authorities are explored.
