According to IRS tax gap studies, small businesses account for the largest segment of the $458 billion annual loss in tax revenue to the US Treasury, largely due to the underreporting of income and overstating of credits and deductions. As a result, the IRS field audit resources focus much of its audit activity on small businesses.

This CPE course will look at the top 10 issues small businesses face when undergoing an IRS audit. It will take a look at the audit from three perspectives, 1) the client, 2) the practitioners and 3) an IRS auditor. We look at these common issues along with ways to maneuver around the issues when the IRS brings them up. After this webinar, you should have a better grasp of helping your client through the most common types of IRS audit problems that you will face.
