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. A simulated financial statement and Offer-in-Compromise negotiation must be completed on a simulated taxpayer situation. Additionally, we conduct a simulated defense of a taxpayer before the IRS Appeals or Chief Counsel's Office.
