Michael Sardar and Christopher Ferguson present “Handling a Sensitive IRS Audit” at the American Society of Tax Problem Solvers Winter Conference.

Presentation Description:

Navigating the Internal Revenue Service audit process can be a daunting task for anyone. Handling sensitive audits that are likely to uncover significant income underreporting and deficiencies, or worse, fraud, add to these challenges. In the most sensitive of audits, the stakes can be quite high, potentially implicating not just additional tax and/or penalties, but a taxpayer’s liberty.

This session covers strategies for minimizing the risk presented by such audits and guidance on how to determine when an audit may be turning into a criminal investigation, including the questions to ask and the signs to look out for. Issues of privilege and the right to assert a taxpayer’s 5th Amendment rights are also discussed.
