All tax professionals should have a basic understanding of Tax Court practice and procedures so they can respond knowledgeably to taxpayer inquiries.  Not only that, but it has become much more important for tax professionals to understand and use Tax Court as a tool to get the result from the IRS that the IRS should have agreed to much earlier in the process.  Unfortunately, with the IRS Campus Appeals Offices in other states are handling nearly all appeals, and it is almost impossible these days to get the right result without petitioning the Tax Court and settling with Appeals once the IRS has to consider the risk of litigation.

This class covers the basics of how to get into Tax Court, the procedures to follow, how to facilitate a settlement, and more in-depth procedures for those who want to understand the whole process.  After learning the practices and procedures, the participants have the option of attending the Tax Court Calendar session scheduled for Monday, October 7^th at 10:00 am.  The Calendar Call begins promptly at 10:00 am, so everyone will meet at 9:30 am at the Nakamura U.S. Courthouse at 1051 6th Ave, Seattle, WA 98104.  We will have a brief discussion in the hall outside the courtroom before the Calendar Call, and then I will answer questions after the Calendar Call.
