Course Description

There is more than one way to get your client's case to the IRS Independent Office of Appeals. The taxpayer can file a protest with Appeals after an audit (i.e., "undocketed"), or they can request consideration by Appeals after filing a petition in the United States Tax Court pursuant to a Statutory Notice of Deficiency (i.e. "docketed"). Our final panel will review these procedures, outline the scope and standard of review, explain when a conference is granted with Appeals in a docketed case, and review the authority to settle under either scenario.


The IRS Representation Conference brings together representatives from the government and expert private practitioners to compare perspectives on a variety of topics involving federal tax audits, appeals, and litigation. The Conference covers a wide range of representation issues, from procedural seminars to substantive programs, estate & gift issues, ethical problems, current enforcement initiatives, sensitive audits, and civil and criminal tax penalties.

This comprehensive, two full-day event focuses on the practical issues and how to handle them rather than theoretical issues.

Please note: Enrolling in an individual session will grant you access to the entire two-day event.
