We love getting new representation clients – they are very lucrative cases. But what do you do when the phone rings? How do you get paid? What information should you ask for, and what are your first five steps?
Join us for this special program as Eric Green, the founder of Tax Rep Network, the New England IRS Representation Conference, and his own 22 person tax law firm Green & Sklarz LLC, walks you through how to onboard these new clients properly to assure you can resolve their back tax issue and make money doing it!
Ever dealt with an auditor that you begin to realize immediately must be named Lucifer? The point of an audit, according to the IRS itself, is to check on how the taxpayer is doing in respect to their returns and reporting and use this time as an educational opportunity. Yet sometimes there are examiners who do not seem to understand this and have decided it’s a time to torture you and your client. Trust us, you do not need to take their abuse! This program will review what to do when the auditor seems to be hell-bent on hurting you, the client, and anyone else who gets in their way.
It was a hard slog: you dealt with the batshit crazy auditor, then the Revenue Officer who liked to threaten stupid stuff, and finally you worked out the compromise your client wanted and received the acceptance letter. And then, guess what? Yup, the client decided to do something on their own and unwound everything! This program will review actual cases where a client’s stupidity unwound an entire deal, and review how (sometimes) we can salvage the case and save the day.
