Course Description

The Internal Revenue Service is increasing the number of individuals that will be selected for audit this year and into the foreseeable future. IRS audits create anxiety and stress for both taxpayers and practitioners.

When dealing with the IRS, it’s not enough to be technically proficient and up-to-date on tax laws, regulations, rulings, and court decisions. The IRS has had to change its approach to auditing due to budget cuts and retirements. Examinations of individuals, small businesses, and large corporations are more focused on high-risk issues. As a result, tax and financial professionals need to understand the impact of the IRS shift in strategy and be prepared to effectively manage an IRS audit.

This online CPE webinar for CPAs, EAs, and Other Tax professionals covered the following major topics:

Overview of IRS Audits
How the IRS Conducts an Audit
Audit Outcomes
Taxpayer Rights During an Audit
Information Document Request (IDR)
Examining Internal Controls
Audit Reconsideration
Audit Appeal

Principal, Ayar Law

Venar Ayar is the principal and founder of Ayar Law and focuses his legal practice on IRS and Michigan tax resolution for both businesses and individuals. He has personally handled a multitude of cases including defending tax audits, negotiating favorable settlements for back taxes, setting up tax payment plans, arranging release of tax liens and levies, defending criminal tax fraud cases and advising those with foreign bank accounts who have not complied with reporting requirements. He represents clients with multi-million dollar assets at stake as well as those with only thousands in assets.

Born and raised in metro Detroit, Michigan, Venar returned to open a tax problem resolution practice when he saw the alarming number of taxpayers struggling due to the downturn in the local economy. He saw there were few qualified and ethical Michigan tax resolution lawyers, but an abundance of scam artists who were taking advantage of taxpayers who needed help.

Prior to opening his Michigan practice, Venar was a tax attorney at RJS Law, southern California’s largest tax law firm. Before working there, Venar worked for several years in metro Detroit as a busy and successful solo tax law practitioner.

In addition to years of experience practicing as a Michigan tax attorney, Venar has owned or operated several small businesses, including an accounting and tax preparation business, supermarkets and a hotel. His business background gives him a solid understanding of the challenges facing small businesses today.

As a recently retired IRS Large Business & International Division Revenue Agent with several years experience coordinating examinations of many large corporations and partnerships I can attest to the excellent nature of this course and its instructors. The information presented in the course was accurate, the perspectives shared insightful and the knowledge of the instructors really first rate. The clearly knew and understood our audit procedures and process very well and provided great information on both post examination appeals processes and court options.

Having been an Enrolled Agent for some decades I have had numerous audit issues with the IRS. I personally would have appreciated a two hour session that dealt with more suggestions on how we can work with the IRS when a client receives a letter requesting an office meeting. A few more illlustrations on how to handle certain audit issues would have been helpful.

I was disappointed with the fact that he stated that there were no questions to address, which wasn't the case, and before anyone could comment, he closed the webinar.
