Course Description

Schedule C audits are no longer “business as usual.”

The IRS Examination & Compliance function is operating at a heightened level, with increased scrutiny on Schedule C filers—and the ripple effect is landing squarely on practitioners.

At the same time, the audit and examination process itself has changed. New procedures. New personnel. New expectations. And unfortunately, more direct pressure on tax professionals.

This training is designed to prepare you for today’s reality, not yesterday’s audit playbook.

We’ll walk through what the IRS is doing differently, what examiners are focused on now, and how you can confidently manage Schedule C audits from start to finish—while protecting both your client and your practice.

By the end of this program, you will understand:

  • How the current IRS audit and examination process really works

  • How to properly prepare for a Schedule C audit

  • The different types of examinations and what they mean for your client

  • Appeals strategies and the post-audit process

  • Best practices for practitioner case administration

  • And more practical insights you can use immediately

If you represent Schedule C filers—or plan to—you can’t afford to miss this update.
