• How to research the Internal Revenue Manual
• Significant changes to IRS Circular 230 and the status of legislation dealing with mandating all preparers be governed by IRS Circular 230 – Wyden/Hatch Bill
• IRS Examination program new developments – changes in examination targets
• Offers in compromise, installment agreements, and other collection actions
• IRS reductions in taxpayer service
• IRS penalties – preparing Forms 8275 and avoiding penalties
• Major IRS problems identified by IRS advisory group and the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration
