irs exam: New Haven CT & Estate Portability: Examine of Estate Returns Clarified
- 03/10/18 03:34 AM
As part of our tax and estate planning practice in Connecticut and New York we do a lot of planning and estate administration. Part of the estate documents we and many other planners put together include terminology regarding “Portability”. In 2010, Congress introduced into the tax code with Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") 2010( c)(2) the concept of portability for certain estates. Each estate has an applicable exclusion amount that it will not pay any estate tax. Federally in 2018 this amount is $11.2 million, and Connecticut is $2.6 million, but increasing over the next several years until it matches the federal … (1 comments)

irs exam: IRS Criminal Tax Stamford CT: What causes an IRS audit to be referred for criminal prosecution in Stamford, CT and elsewhere?
- 02/25/12 10:29 AM
We frequently represent taxpayers before the IRS during routine audits in Stamford, Connecticut, as well as criminal tax investigations and eggshell audits (civil audits where tax fraud exists but the IRS has not found it yet). I am often asked what causes an IRS examiner to send a case to the criminal investigation division (“CI”)? The Internal Revenue Manual (“IRM”) states that an IRS tax auditor should refer the case for criminal investigation when there are “firm indications of fraud.” Great: so what does that mean? There are a number of items that may raise an examiner’s suspicion of tax fraud: … (2 comments)
irs exam: IRS Exam Accountant Privilege Stamford CT: Why, if there are fraud issues with your tax return, your accountant may be your worst enemy during an IRS audit in Stamford, CT!
- 02/25/12 10:08 AM
We frequently represent taxpayers before the IRS during routine audits in Stamford, Connecticut, as do many CPAs or EAs. Having your CPA or EA handle your audit may be a costly mistake if there are potential tax fraud issues involved with the return. Accountants, defined as anyone allowed to practice before the IRS (CPAs and EAs) enjoy a privileged relationship with their clients in routine tax matters. Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 7525 creates a confidential relationship for accountants similar to that of attorneys with their tax clients in civil tax matters. Unlike the attorney-client privilege, the 7525 accountant-client privilege ceases … (2 comments)
irs exam: IRS Audits in Stamford, CT: Taxpayers should be aware the IRS is no longer just seeking their receipts in civil and criminal tax exams, but their metadata as well!
- 01/16/12 10:00 PM
We handle a significant number of civil examinations as well as represent taxpayers in criminal investigations by the IRS. Recently the IRS Office of Chief Counsel issued new guidance on an IRS Examiner’s ability to summons a taxpayer to turnover electronic files containing metadata in the course of an IRS audit. Taxpayers should be aware that the IRS seems to be expanding the range of electronic records requested during the course of an examination. The latest guidance sets forth the IRS’ position that examiners may summon metadata and a field directive issued in September instructs examiners to request accounting software backup … (1 comments)
