We are pleased to announce that Michel R. Stein and Cory Stigile along with Timothy Bilotta will be speaking at the upcoming Barbri webinar on Navigating IRS Corporate and High-Income Taxpayer Audits, on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. (PST).
We are honored to have Tim join us for the program. Tim is recently retired from the Internal Revenue Service where he recently served as Director of SBSE Southwest Area Field Exam.
This webinar will review the IRS’ latest campaign targeting high-income taxpayers, partnerships, corporations, and promoters. The panel will discuss the state of the current initiative, explain how to handle the IRS examination itself, voluntary disclosure options, current challenges facing taxpayers, and tactics to avoid penalties. The panel will also discuss key areas of focus where the IRS has detected abuse, such as digital assets, offshore structures, micro-captive insurance arrangements, syndicated conservation easements, and more.
We are also pleased to announce that we will be able to offer a limited number of complimentary registrations for this program on a first come first serve basis. If you are interested in attending, please contact Sharon Tanaka at sht@taxlitigator.com.
