  • To familiarize with the various ways and methods in which the IRS can verify a taxpayer’s financial information

Course Overview

As a Tax practitioner, you usually have to deal with cases that need clarity about what is the approach of the IRS in analyzing the details from the taxpayer. It is a very useful insight if your clients have to deal with and negotiate with the IRS about what amount they can pay for taxes. 

Especially for the professionals dealing with IRS on a regular basis understanding how the IRS looks at a taxpayer’s financial situation is imperative to success when negotiating resolutions for clients. This provides them the edge over what should be represented and how it should be represented. 

In this webinar, participants will get a key understanding of:

  • How the IRS analyzes a taxpayer’s finances
  • How IRS secures, verifies, and analyzes financial information 
  • How the IRS will use that information to determine the taxpayer’s ability to pay

This is going to be a very useful webinar for the tax practitioners who wants to win their clients negotiations or represent them efficiently.

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.
