On November 19, 2020, Michael Sardar participates in a panel entitled “What Does the IRS Have? How to Make a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request and Why” as part of the IRS Representation Conference’s Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic Workshop.

Panel information: Maybe the client was audited, has been assessed a trust fund recovery penalty, or is the subject of a criminal investigation after dealing with the IRS Collections Division. There many reasons why it would be really helpful to have a look at what the IRS file says about the taxpayer and their situation. This panel discusses the mechanics of drafting and filing a request under the Freedom of Information Act, including what records are available, what records might be withheld pursuant to various exemptions, and how best to make use of that information to help your taxpayer.
