Forum highlights
Attendees get more than continuing education when they attend the IRS Nationwide Tax Forum. Additional benefits include the:
National Tax Forum Expo Hall – Each IRS tax forum features a two-day expo with representatives from the tax, banking and business communities offering products, services and expertise with the tax professional in mind. Inside the exhibit hall, attendees can also visit the IRS Zone to meet experts from areas such as customer accounts and enforcement. IRS staff will also demonstrate new features on IRS Online Accounts and take attendee feedback.
Digital Account Services Room – Tax professionals can get help creating an IRS Online Account, resolving issues with their preparer tax identification number (PTIN) or Centralized Authorization File (CAF) and more. Appointments will be available on location.
Scams & Schemes Panel Discussion – The Council for Electronic Revenue Communication Advancement (CERCA) and the IRS will host a presentation that will better equip tax pros to protect themselves and their practices with the latest on identifying and avoiding tax scams.
Special pre-forum events
Practice Management – On Mondays at 5 p.m., IRS partners from the NAEA, NATP, NSA, NSTP and Padgett Business Services will present ideas on how new and established tax professionals can attract and manage their customers, increase productivity and have a more satisfying work-life balance.
