DESCRIPTION
The IRS regularly rejects or terminates IAs. If this happens when a taxpayer has no Collection Due Process appeal rights, options for challenging the decision are limited. This course gives you the tools needed to launch a successful and effective CAP appeal. Given the number of instalment agreements that are arbitrarily rejected/terminated, this course is critical for all tax practitioners.
In this informative webinar attendees will understand the full statutory background for IA appeals, and how to deal with the Independent Office of Appeals in carrying out a CAP appeal that involves a rejected or terminated IA. This includes understanding the burden of proof and how to carry it out.
