This course also covers interview skills, negotiation techniques and stresses the absolute necessity of taxpayer confidentiality when representing a taxpayer before the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Tax Court.

A complete memorandum of law must be completed for each client, and a simulated financial statement and Offer-in-Compromise negotiation must be completed on a simulated taxpayer situation.
