OVERVIEW

Recent legislation in Congress has provided the IRS with substantially increased funding to bolster its human staff and purchase software that will allow the IRS to audit many more taxpayers in a more effective way. The IRS believes it can target the right kinds of taxpayers for audits so that it will not waste its time on audits that produce little, if any, revenue. The purpose of this program is to discuss the current state of IRS audits and the anticipated increases in the IRS’s ability to audit wealthier taxpayers in an efficient way. Panelists will discuss the state of the IRS’s current audits and where the IRS is headed with audits in the coming years. Tax practitioners should also be aware of the state of the IRS’s efforts to target efficiencies so as to produce the most revenue.
