Employers who chose to hire undocumented workers sometimes do not understand the potential mess they have created for themselves and their employees. Our panel will unpack the myriad of issues these employers face, including employment taxes, labor violations, and immigration issues. The panel will also discuss potential ways to clean up the situation before the IRS initiates contact.
The IRS Representation Conference brings together representatives from the government and expert private practitioners to compare perspectives on a variety of topics involving federal tax audits, appeals, and litigation. The Conference covers a wide range of representation issues, from procedural seminars to substantive programs, estate & gift issues, ethical problems, current enforcement initiatives, sensitive audits, and civil and criminal tax penalties.
This comprehensive, two full-day event focuses on the practical issues and how to handle them rather than theoretical issues.

Please note: Enrolling in an individual session will grant you access to the entire two-day event.
