Each year the IRS sponsors the Nationwide Tax Forum. The event is a series of tax education sessions for tax professionals. The 2022 Virtual Tax Forum started July 19, and runs through August 18 with webinars offered every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

These events feature the latest information from the IRS, news about tax law changes, the chance to meet with software vendors and the opportunity to attend 30 different seminars presented by IRS employees and members of professional associations.

The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) invites tax professionals who are attending this year’s forum to sign-up and participate in our focus group sessions on “IRS On-Line Accounts” and “Responding to IRS Correspondence Audit Notices.” Your knowledge and innovative ideas shared during these discussions helps TAS improve taxpayer services on these issues. Visit our virtual booth at the IRS Nationwide Tax Forum to learn how you can take part and make a difference by sharing your hands-on experience during the TAS focus group events each Tuesday and Wednesday, July 19 – August 16, 2022, 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. EST.

At this year’s Forum, the Taxpayer Advocate Service will present a seminar that will focus on:

Advocating for Taxpayers Who Receive Collection Notices

The IRS is required by statute to send certain notices to taxpayers before it can collect taxes the IRS believes are owed. By the end of the presentation, attendees will be able to:

• identify the most common notices the IRS sends to request payment of taxes or to propose enforced collection action through liens and levies;
• understand the effect of the IRS’s temporary suspension of these notices; and
• advise their clients about the options for responding to these notices.
