Tax Practice Before the IRS

Two topics that are generating a good deal of uncertainty among tax professionals are the tax gap and the accountant’s privilege. Tax professionals preparing to work on 2009 tax returns need to be aware of these two topics how to deal with them. This course, based on the highly rated session from the AICPA National Tax Conference, reviews the tax gap and the accountant's privilege. After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Identify the tax gap and what Congress and the IRS plan to do to close it.
• Explain the effects of the tax gap on tax return preparation.
