This webinar will provide you with the tools and strategies necessary when working with a client who has not filed income tax returns for one or more years. This session will cover situations where the taxpayer has been contacted by the IRS for those missing tax returns, and situations where the taxpayer has not been contacted but otherwise wants to come into compliance. For example, there are certain collection scenarios where before the IRS will negotiate a collection alternative, the taxpayer must be in compliance, or the taxpayer may want to mitigate fraud or criminal risk, or where the taxpayer is involved in a marital separation.
