TRN Blog: Industry News and Updates

On this week’s episode of the Tax Rep Network Podcast, I’m joined by AccountingWeb’s Managing Editor, Seth Fineberg. Seth and I chat about the upcoming summit, which takes place in San Diego from May 9th to May 12th. I’m happy to share that I’ll speak on multiple panels, including Criminal Tax with Deputy Chief Robnett and Enforcement with SB/SE Commissioner, Darren Guillot.

For those listening who may be unfamiliar with the summit, Seth gives the rundown, stating: “AccountingWEB itself is really an online resource, a site for practical and useful information for accounting professionals. We have folks who only do tax, we have folks whose core focus is on bookkeeping, and then we have others who are doing it all. They do tax, advisory, the books. They’re helping run small businesses, and they’re doing everything in between. So, compliance, advisory, and everything in the middle. We’re really at a time in the profession where this is the type of information that is needed the most.”

On this week’s episode of the Tax Rep Network Podcast, Eric Green is joined by Gwen Moore and Ajay Gupta to discuss how a criminal tax case works, from referral to sentencing. There are myriad misunderstandings regarding this topic, leading to this necessary and important conversation.

In case you haven’t been listening to the podcast lately, Gwen is a friend of Eric’s who hosts the podcast from time to time. She has her own firm in Chicago, the Moore Firm, where she does civil and criminal tax controversy. Ajay is of council with Gwen’s firm, doing everything from tax planning in Silicon Valley to being an assistant United States attorney, prosecuting tax cases.

To open the conversation, Eric shares a vital fact that all taxpayers need to understand: when IRS special agents now have a case, they’re not looking to collect money, they’re not looking to just clarify something. When they come out and knock on a door, it is because they believe they have enough evidence that a crime was committed, and now they’re going to see if they can get more information. Specifically, they’re there to try to get a conviction.

Eric then segues into the classification of a criminal case and the various circumstances, receiving assistance and expert knowledge from Ajay.

In this special episode of the TRN Podcast, Eric is joined by Gwen Moore from the Moore Firm in Chicago. Previous listeners will already be familiar with Gwen, as she has filled in for Eric as a guest host. However, today’s hot topic has left Eric wanting to switch things up a bit, inviting Gwen on as a guest speaker instead of a guest host.

Their discussion revolves around the IRS, Congress, and the headaches many taxpayers are currently experiencing. Specifically, the IRS has been—and remains to be—plagued with massive backlogs of mail and returns that have not been processed, resulting in callers receiving hold times on the phone measured in hours—not minutes—as well as a grinding enforcement machine that continues unabated.

As a contributing columnist at Forbes, Gwen recently wrote an article that sheds light on these ongoing IRS issues. She and Eric chat about her article, the faults of Congress, and what they each think of the Congressional announcement made regarding the call for the IRS to hold off on enforcement.
