Are you leaving one of the most powerful tools in tax representation sitting on the table? Economic hardship appears hundreds of times throughout the Internal Revenue Manual — and the practitioners who know how to wield it are winning cases others thought were unwinnable.

This is not a session you can afford to skip.

Whether you’re staring down aggressive collections, fighting for a client who’s barely keeping the lights on, or looking for leverage the IRS doesn’t want you to know about — economic hardship is your Swiss Army Knife, and after this presentation, you’ll know exactly how to use it.

Here’s what you’re walking away with:

• The full landscape of economic hardship classifications and the legal references that will make your arguments bulletproof
• Landmark tax court opinions that reveal exactly what the IRS is required to do — and what you can hold them accountable for
• Battle-tested strategies to proactively assert economic hardship before your client’s situation gets worse
• Real case studies that show you how this plays out in the real world — not just in theory
• A complete playbook on Currently Not Collectible status, Taxpayer Advocate Service, and every option available to a taxpayer in distress

Your clients are counting on you to know every tool available. After this session, economic hardship won’t just be a term you’ve heard — it’ll be the move you make with confidence every single time.

Don’t just represent your clients. Defend them.
