2014 - Dealing with the IRS and Other Government Agencies

Instructor: Vicki M. Lambert
Description:
This webinar discusses the skills and knowledge necessary to be able to communicate effectively with the IRS and other government entities.
What do you do when the IRS contacts you? Panic, Procrastination, Belligerence and Ignorance are big mistakes! This webinar delves into what to (and not to) do when you receive communications from the IRS and also what to do when doing business with other federal, state and local regulatory agencies and lawmaking bodies. The IRS takes a variety of steps to combat perceived employment tax non-compliance, with the upshot being significant criminal penalties and convictions resulting in incarceration, heavy fines, or usually both. Whether or not there is a violation, and many times there is not, all of those steps begin with written and oral communication to the entities involved. Proper courtesy goes a long way to make your experience easier but more than that is needed to ensure successful communication.
To be able to communicate effectively with the IRS and other regulatory agencies is a skill vital to any payroll professional. This skill significantly reduces anxiety, provides clarity in response to official communications, and in some cases helps prevent simple issues from escalating to serious situations. This skill begins with understanding how to interpret the notices received from the IRS, including the various codes used to explain what they seek. It ends with writing your responding communication in such a way as to provide all the information needed to end the matter successfully.
But what if you are audited by the IRS, how should you prepare for and deal with this type of audit? There are tips that can assist in preparing for that audit you know is coming. They start with preparation and end with cooperation. But in-between you will need to make sure you plan your audit out completely from your perspective so you can meet the audit head-on fully prepared.
Perhaps a better question than how do I prepare for an audit is how can I avoid an IRS audit in the first place? The best way to avoid an external audit is by conducting an internal one first. By conducting a full audit of the department you can identify problem areas where compliance is an issue and deal with them before they become the topic of an IRS or Department of Labor audit or notice.
