eric l green: IRS Can Use John Doe Summons to Identify Taxpayers with Cryptocurrency - 04/01/21 02:38 PM
We represent taxpayers before the IRS and Department of Justice Tax Division, and have spoken frequently about the IRS increased use of both AI and John Doe Summonses to identify taxpayers who have either evaded reporting income and paying taxes, or those that have failed to disclose virtual currency in their financial affidavits, like with Offers-in-Compromise.
Because of the IRS's efforts criminal tax referrals from the Collection Division are up 42% so far this year!

Operating behind the special browser TOR and using on bitcoin, the criminal behind Silk Road would be taken down by a tenacious new special agent from the IRS assigned to the case.

On this week's Tax Rep Network Podcast I discuss the impact of the IRS's use of AI.

On September 27th the New York Times broke the story about President Donald Trump’s taxes.  The gist of the story, or at least the piece that made the headlines, was how the president’s businesses were losing money, and how this showed he was not the successful business man he claimed to be.
Does it?
I and Jason Freeman will discuss what we know about The President’s tax returns, what we do not know, and how that should impact the information being reported.  This session will discuss the tax issues raised, what the rules are why the reporting by the New York Times may … (0 comments)
