Valuation Issues and the IRS

Having testified in US Tax Court, given depositions for Department of Justice cases, led a litigation team of expert witnesses specialists at the IRS, and now in the private sector having reviewed and critiqued scores of expert witness reports for federal tax litigation, Mike offers several insights regarding tax litigation and the IRS.   Some of the specific nuances of the U.S. Tax Court with IRS attorneys differentiated from refund cases at U.S. District Court or the U.S. Court of Federal Claims with the Department of Justice Tax Litigation Division are presented.  The participant will leave with a clear understanding on how to address each and how to either prepare as an expert or how to select experts in these venues.   Specific examples help clarify some of the “do’s” and “don’ts” in these venues.
