About this title

Synopsis

I spent 50 years working as a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) and tax consultant defending taxpayers audited by the IRS. Accounting is not the most exciting job, but dealing with the IRS is. Fighting the IRS became the love of my life, next only to my family and my cat. I developed a passion for working against - and with - IRS auditors and appeals officers. I feel at home at the IRS and for good reasons – I win. I hold a very high rate of success – winning substantially all of my audits. And for the very few that I lost, I took most to Appeals where I won them all. Knowledge of the tax code is vital but psychology, credibility, humility, and humor are key ingredients to victory.This book is a compilation of tax tips that I penned for magazines and newspapers over several decades. My writings are based on actual battles with the IRS. My tales are born of experience, my tips from actual dealings with the IRS.Dealing with the IRS requires you to understand the Agency’s culture: shoot first, ask later. You are guilty until proven innocent. It’s a battle to overcome this culture. To win a battle against the IRS, you must unlock its secrets. To unlock its secrets, you must have fought wars in the trenches to see what tactics work and what don’t. I’ve been there. Done that. And for these reasons, I wrote this book to help you avoid audits or survive one if you get chosen.
