Program Summary

What do you do when the routine audit is no longer routine? This program will discuss “eggshell audits”, which are civil IRS exams but where we as the practitioner become aware there is potential tax fraud. The program will cover potential pitfalls, how to navigate the issues and when to bring the attorneys into the picture.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Identify things that are indications of fraud to the IRS
  • Explain the various privileges tax clients have
  • Describe the role accountants can and cannot play in an eggshell audit

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.
