The IRS recently estimated that the tax gap, or the amount of the correct tax liability that is not paid voluntarily and on time, exceeds $458 billion. These liabilities are, not surprisingly, often the subject of enforced collection action by the IRS in the form of levies, lien filings, wage garnishment, and Social Security levies. Because the power to tax involves the power to destroy, Congress granted to taxpayers numerous collection due process rights by which they can challenge the IRS's enforced collection action in favor of one or more collection alternatives.
This webinar, offered by a leading tax controversy attorney, will introduce attendees to:
(1) the Service's various collection mechanisms, including levies, lien filings, wage garnishment, and Social Security levies;
(2) taxpayers' rights to challenge these collection actions;
(3) taxpayers’ rights to request a review of the IRS collection action through Appeals hearings;
(4) various collection alternatives, including offers in compromise on the ground of doubt as to liability and doubt as to collectibility, installment agreements, and currently not collectible status;
(5) strategies to reduce their outstanding liabilities;
(6) strategies to secure these collection alternatives from the IRS in lieu of the enforced collection action; and
(7) the United States Tax Court's jurisdiction to review the IRS Office of Appeals' determinations with respect to these collection due process rights.
This webinar is a must-attend for all practitioners.

"This webinar was EXCELLENT! Noteworthy, is that 2 other webinars I have already attended, by attorneys from the same firm, were also excellent. They were "Representing the Innocent Spouse, in Pre- and Post-Filng Controversies," and "An Introduction to Valuation Discounts" - both by Lawrence A. Sannicandro, Esq., LL.M., J.D., MBA. The content was as relevant as could be, the presenter was as knowledgeable as could be about the subject, the pace was right-on, the course was very respectful of attendees' time, and - bonus! - the slides contain about twice as much material as could be covered in the allotted time. But - all of the material on the slides is relevant / helpful. Hopefully, this will become two webinars in the future, so that it can all be covered (but I would always rather have the material on the slides, than have it cut back to what could be covered in the allotted time)."Jay, GA

"I received so much of a better insight on various questions that my clients have posed to me such as following the proper procedures and requests, you don't have to stay subject to a lien. However, as with anything, there are stipulations and consequences if a client doesn't come straight with all of the information necessary to help them out. I can let them know better what their prospects are. I commend Mr. Cano on a job well done."ANITA, OK

"It was very helpful to me because i have a couple of clients that are in payment plans and the statue is about to run out. So i learned a lot about that situation that i wasn't aware of.
