Book Description

Unless you have worked for the IRS, it's pretty hard to get a handle on the inner workings of this massive governmental agency and use that information to most effectively represent your clients. The new third edition of the Internal Revenue Service Practice & Procedure Deskbook -- written by a former IRS Tax Examiner - puts valuable insider tips to work for you, offering proven techniques and practice-oriented advice for resolving IRS disputes. Now published in an easy-to-use looseleaf format, the new edition of the Deskbook is fully updated to reflect and analyse the numerous changes in federal tax procedure, including analysis of the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, Taxpayer Bill of Rights 2 and 3, and the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. In addition, Internal Revenue Service Practice & Procedure Deskbook contains a substantial appendix which includes sample forms and letters (such as sample protest letters to the Appeals Office and a model Tax Court petition) as well as the official IRS Audit Handbook.
