Using a newly developed industry specific Audit Technique Guide and the latest in computer and communications technology, IRS agents specially trained in the finer points of legal practice operations and accounting are putting the tax returns of thousands of businesses under a very powerful microscope. Now more than ever, it is vital for CPAs and attorneys to anticipate IRS actions in order to avoid an audit or to survive one should it occur. IRS Audit Protection and Survival Guide: Attorneys helps law practices prepare for this intensified scrutiny. It explains the issues in the IRS's MSSP Audit Technique Guide for attorneys and describes specific changes in the IRS approach to examining their tax returns. Prescribing a series of audit self-protection strategies and techniques for the entire profession, authors Daniel Baran, former IRS agent Gerald Bernard, and attorney James Brown bring almost 60 years of combined experience to bear in analyzing the program's effects on key areas of taxation.
