Description

Description:

This course takes an in-depth look at audit triggers from cash intensive businesses, the hobby loss rules, the proper classification of independent contractors and employees, and the requirements of the recent Tangible Property Regulations. This course also briefly reminds the practitioner of the requirements of some of the older red flags, such as meals and entertainment, travel, and the office in the home deduction. At the end of each chapter is an Action Plan, which the practitioner can use to develop procedures with respect to properly addressing these potential audit issues. By following these procedures, we can certainly go a long way to keep our clients out of trouble with the IRS and the DOL.
