ABA Webinar On The Government Shutdown: Monday 1:00 PM EST

As the IRS and Tax Court reopen (at least for about three weeks), readers might be interested in resources to help them.  The IRS has published a short announcement that answers some basic questions, here.   In addition, the ABA Tax Section is hosting a webinar on the effects of the shutdown on administrative operations and on Tax Court cases. The 1.5 hour webinar is scheduled for Monday, January 28, 2019 starting at 1:00 pm EST.  The cost is $10 for Tax Section members and $25 for non-members.  It is free to Low Income Tax Clinic or other pro-bono attorneys.  

 Topics will include:

• How the shutdown affected the Service’s issuance of notices;
• The ways taxpayers and representatives should consider reacting and responding to Service correspondence;
• The impact of the shutdown on applications for discretionary relief and IRS administrative services; 
• The Service’s current collection efforts; and
• The impact on filings with the United States Tax Court.
