About the Program

Join us on July 20 for the second session of our Tax Pro Bono Work series!

The Center for Taxpayer Rights is bringing you training on litigation of tax collection issues particularly as these relate to low-income taxpayers. The focus will be on collection due process proceedings, both at the administrative level and as a litigation matter in the US Tax Court. Related topics include determining the validity of the assessment, issues associated with the administrative record, and the burgeoning litigation related to jurisdiction issues in the US Tax Court.

The third session, on August 17, will cover litigating innocent spouse issues in the Tax Court, including issues particular to domestic abuse survivors, and the limits of Tax Court review. Register for the third session here.
