The annual NYU School of Professional Studies Tax Controversy Forum features interactive presentations delivered by expert practitioners who cover a broad range of issues regarding tax audits and tax litigation at all levels.
This year’s NYU Tax Controversy Forum will be produced remotely in a shortened format on Thursday and Friday June 18 and 19, 2020 and marks the beginning of the new NYU SPS Webinar Tax Series.
UNDER THE CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES NYU SPS WILL BRING THIS OFFERING TO YOU FOR FREE AND HAS WAIVED ALL REGISTRATION FEES!
After careful consideration, and to ensure the health and safety of conference attendees and panelists in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, NYU SPS and the Forum’s Planning Committee have decided that this year’s Forum will be produced and delivered remotely via Zoom Webinar. We are very excited to announce that NYU SPS will offer all sessions for free. THERE ARE NO REGISTRATION FEES! The program is in development and will consist of 2 to 3 hours of panels on each of Thursday June 18 and Friday June 19.
This year’s NYU Tax Controversy Forum will feature updates on what the IRS is doing to enhance compliance through communication and enforcement. Panels will highlight the new IRS focus on intra-agency collaboration, new initiatives with respect to penalties and fraud referrals, and IRS’ handling of tax collection challenges. Tune in for free from your computer, at home or the office, to hear Tax Compliance and Procedure Updates from senior IRS personnel.
