How to Avoid being blindsided by the IRS when you submit an OIC
Presented by Angelene Wierzbic, EA, CTRS
Sometimes we have a client with a perfect OIC scenario, but when we submit it to the IRS, they blindside us with a hidden scenario that we were unaware of and return the OIC. Or even worse, we get past that processing phase just to find out some pitfall catches us and causes a rejection.
There are hidden compliance issues which can prevent processing that we should be aware of as practitioners. Things like unassessed Trust Fund Taxes can deem your OIC unprocessable. Don’t fall into the IRS trap and get your perfect OIC bounced.
By the end of this course you will understand:
- The importance of Current Tax Payments
- How Corporate/Partnership Compliance Impacts an OIC
- The impact of Trusts & Estates on an Individual’s OIC
- Other Factors the IRS review during the OIC process
- Things that may potentially disqualify your client from an OIC

Audit Reconsideration – Righting What Once Went Wrong
Presented by Steven Klitzner, Esq., CTRS

Federal Tax Liens: How to Get Them Discharged When Selling Property
Presented by Jack Beige, JD
Federal tax liens are like little time bombs, most taxpayers open the notice, read it and don’t really understand what it means. If they do open it, they usually don’t care because they’re not selling their home or property. Still others don’t even open the notice because it bears the mark of the Cain. It’s Registered and must be “signed for”, so they must avoid contact at all costs.
As we know FTL’s just lay there waiting. Then suddenly one day when the taxpayer decides the want to sell or have to sell their home or property, BOOM!!!. “Where did that come from, I never got that”.
As their tax resolution expert, when they decide to sell their property, you can be the one to reduce the pain and embarrassment. Whether the proceeds of the sale will full pay or only partially pay down their outstanding liabilities, you make the sale process go smoother for the attorneys, the title company, and most of all your client. Whether the sale of the home or property is by choice or not, you are the shield protecting the taxpayer’s interest against the taxing authority.
By the end of this course you will understand:
- The property sale process from start to finish,
- How to find out what the taxpayer(s) owe and for what tax periods,
- How to confirm the outstanding liens and the CSED’s,
- How to effectively work with the IRS to resolve the issue and get the sale done efficiently,
- How to possibly get the moving expenses paid from the proceeds of the sale even if the IRS is not fully paid,
- How to be the “best gift” to the attorneys, the title company and most importantly your client
- How your first case can be the source of referrals from attorneys and title companies,

The Notice of Deficiency & AJAC
Presented by LG Brooks, EA, CTRS
It is not unusual for taxpayers and/or their representatives to disagree with formal determinations made by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Typically, the procedure is invoked regarding any “un-agreed” tax case that involves a “tax deficiency,” which in-turn may require the IRS to issue a “Notice of Deficiency” (aka “90-Day Notice”).
The issuance of the Notice of Deficiency entitles the taxpayer to certain “rights” with respect to pursing potential litigation and/or other judicial resolution options of the tax matter. Whether a taxpayer should pursue the tax matter subsequent to the issuance of the “Notice of Deficiency” is a judgmental decision that may be influenced by numerous issues such as previous evidence, substantiation, documentation, and viable arguments presented during the pre-Notice of Deficiency proceedings (Audit or Appeals). Additionally, practitioners should be equally aware of any other options that may exist subsequent to the issuance of the Notice of Deficiency and how the “Appeals Judicial Approach Cultural” (AJAC) Project interacts with the formal issuance of a “90-Day Notice”.
During this course we will:
- Discuss and explain the provisions, requirements, and legal effect, pertaining to the issuance of the Notice of Deficiency
- Provide guidance with respect to the representation of taxpayers subsequent to the issuance of the Notice of Deficiency
- Demonstrate & discuss other “non-judicial” options available to taxpayers prior to the consideration of continuing a tax matter via the filing of a Tax Court Petition.
