This law book offers an insider's perspective on both the legal issues and practical considerations involved in handling a federal tax controversy.

An invaluable resource for tax lawyers grappling with the complexities of federal tax disputes. Written by a former litigator for the Tax Division of the Justice Department, this book lifts the veil on IRS action and inaction, offering an insider's perspective on both legal and practical considerations involved in tax controversies. Covering all stages of tax litigation, it provides a comprehensive approach to navigating audits, appeals, problem resolution offices, collections, and judicial proceedings with the Justice Department. Key topics include handling tax disputes at all IRS levels, utilizing alternative dispute resolution methods, asserting the innocent spouse defense, representing clients under investigation and refuting jeopardy assessments. It also addresses suits against the government for overpayments, establishing reasonable cause for non-payment, and defending against recovery of erroneous refunds. Additionally, it explores recovering damages for improper disclosures of tax return information, taxpayer recovery of attorney’s fees, discharge ability of tax debts in bankruptcy, grand jury matters, and more. This essential guide is widely used in government, private practice, and law schools across the country.

Updated as needed—no extra charge for updates during your subscription.
