During 2017, the IRS assessed more than 39 million civil penalties totaling $26.5 billion. Many tax practitioners are familiar with the 20% negligence and substantial understatement of income tax accuracy-related penalties, but few tax practitioners have encountered the increasingly common situations where accuracy-related penalties are imposed at a rate of 30% or 40%.
This webinar will cover penalties commonly imposed at rates above 20%, including penalties for undisclosed foreign financial asset understatements, gross valuation misstatements, and reportable transaction understatements. This webinar is a must-attend for all practitioners.

"thank you for explaining an intricate part of the tax code. particularly §6751(b)(1) and related Graev and Chai cases. very enlightening poll questions. The latest decision in Graev v. Commissioner, 149 T.C. No. 23 (2017)(Graev III) reverses the decision made just last year, adopts the intervening opinion of the Second Circuit in Chai v. Commissioner, 851 F.3d 190 (2nd Cir. 2017) and holds Tax Court does not have jurisdiction to review whether the IRS obtained the appropriate signatures prior to the imposition of the penalty."Lloyd Doletski (Self Employed)
