IRS Announces Webinar On Fresh Start Initiative

Recently, our Tax Blog published a post on the IRS Fresh Start Initiative and the changes that taxpayers can expect in IRS procedure.  Now the IRS has announced the presentation of a live webinar on this subject to occur on August 31 at 2:00 p.m. ET.  The topic will be, “Learn about the IRS Fresh Start Initiative – Help for Struggling Taxpayers,” and will be broadcast for one hour.  Interested viewers can learn about changes to collection policy for lien filing thresholds, lien withdrawals, installment agreements, and offers in compromise.  Viewers can register online to watch the live program anytime before it airs and the webinar will also be available on demand at the IRS Video Portal one month after the broadcast.  A certificate of completion will be offered and enrolled agents will receive one CPE credit.  Other tax professionals may also receive credit if the broadcast meets their organization’s or state’s CPE requirements.
