Important Tips to Keep From Getting Your Client in MORE Hot Water

Representing citizens with IRS problems is a challenge. The IRS has little sympathy for delinquent individuals and businesses. Fortunately, citizens have rights and, through their legal representative, they can successfully negotiate a resolution that allows them to move on with their lives. To effectively represent their clients, tax practitioners must know the law, the rules and IRS policy.

IRS Myth: The IRS Is Impossible To Deal With

August 19, 2024June 29, 2018 by Steven Klitzner

The IRS has rules that they must follow. There is the Internal Revenue Code. That is the law and whether they like it or not, they must follow it.

They also have the Internal Revenue Manual which they follow 100% of the time as long as they like what it says. When they do not like what it says, they follow it 0% of the time. The Manual contains their rules and guidelines, but it is this not the law, meaning taxpayers are not bound by it.

It is my job as a Tax Attorney to hold their feet to the fire and make sure that they comply with the law and follow their own procedures.
