With the current filing of the first returns under the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA), taxpayers can expect increased IRS scrutiny in the future and the submission of more cases to the IRS Appeals Office. This presentation, by three tax litigators, will focus on strategies for dealing with the IRS Appeals under the updated Appeals Judicial Approach and Culture (AJAC) Project as well as the Taxpayer First Act of 2019 (TFA).
