Course Description

Some cases, such as those involving valuation of property, clearly require the use of an expert. In other cases, the value of expert testimony is less obvious. When should you consider using an expert, what is the role of expert testimony in a Tax Court case, what is the best way to present your expert’s opinion, and how can you most effectively attack the other party’s expert evidence? This panel discusses these and other issues to help you determine whether and how you should use an expert in your next tax controversy.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify issues related to the use of expert testimony in tax court cases.
