This exciting and timely presentation will address the IRS “Dirty Dozen,” a variety of common scams that taxpayers may encounter anytime but that peak during filing season as people prepare their returns or hire someone to help with their taxes, enforcement priorities, international and cryptocurrency enforcement efforts, parallel proceedings, and best practices that all members should be aware of.
