Taxpayer Advocate Service at the IRS Nationwide Tax Forums
Each year, the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) hosts seminars and focus groups at the IRS Nationwide Tax Forums, a series of three-day tax education and networking conferences for tax professionals.
Seminars from the 2011 IRS Nationwide Tax Forums are now available on IRS Nationwide Tax Forums Online (NTFO) and tax professionals can earn continuing professional education credits online. The 14 self-study seminars provide information to tax professionals using interactive videos synchronized with slides. Each seminar includes downloadable PowerPoint slides and a transcript.
Two seminars hosted by the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) are available for download:
In addition to TAS’s sessions, the 2011 NTFO seminars cover a variety of topics of interest to tax professionals, including tax law updates and changes to information on IRS procedures and processes, registered tax return preparer regulations, new information reporting requirements, IRS Fresh Start initiatives and their effect on collection, the small business health care tax credit and EITC due diligence for preparers.
The online forums are registered with the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility and the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a qualified sponsor of continuing professional education (CPE). NTFO seminars can also be audited for free.
In addition to the recently-added seminars, NTFO offers over 30 other seminars from prior IRS Nationwide Tax Forums from 2008 through 2010 (some seminars are only available for audit).
