This Tax Controversies: Practice and Procedure casebook teaches the mechanics of tax procedure, while stimulating students to think about the broader issues that underlie its structural framework. This edition of Tax Controversies: Practice and Procedure begins with an overview of civil tax procedure and a discussion of ethical issues that may arise in tax practice. Several of the next chapters focus on stages in the chronology of a typical tax controversy, from examination through eventual litigation. Two chapters explore tax crimes and criminal tax procedure, and two new chapters focus on tax research and representing tax clients. This Tax Controversies: Practice and Procedure also includes several new cases and expanded coverage of summonses, CDP hearings, and other topics. An underlying theme – the extent to which the current procedural rules encourage or discourage voluntary compliance with the federal tax system – runs throughout the book. Table of Contents includes: Overview of Federal Tax Controversies; Tax Returns and the Examination Process; Access to IRS Information Versus Confidentiality of Taxpayer Information; Settlement of Tax Disputes; Restrictions on Assessment of Tax; Overview of Tax Litigation; Requirements of the Notice of Deficiency and Its Functions in Tax Court; Overpayments, Refund Claims, and Refund Litigation; Reliance on Treasury Regulations and IRS Positions; Civil Tax Penalties; Interest on Deficiencies and Overpayments; Tax Collection; Tax Crimes; Criminal Tax Procedure; Representing Clients in Tax Cases; Tax Research.
