Course Description:
The United States Congress has granted the United States Treasury Department broad powers to convey significant legal & administrative authority to the IRS to establish, create, investigate & more importantly "collect" federal taxes from all types of taxpayers. However this "collection procedure" at times has created massive abuses of taxpayer rights & privileges. Therefore, pursuant to the "IRS Reform & Restructuring Act of 1998", Congress created and implemented a procedure to prevent & protect taxpayers rights which is known as the "Collection Due Process" (CDP) procedure. This presentation is designed to demonstrate, discuss and explain the legal & statutory guidelines of the CDP process. Specific details will be reviewed and explored pertaining to the CDP language as well as when & how the practitioner should respond to a CDP issue. "Legal alternatives" regarding a CDP tax matter will be discussed & explored as well.
