		<description><![CDATA[The IRS Appeals Office plays an important role in seeking the resolution of federal tax issues before taxpayers have to pursue expensive court remedies. Indeed, the Appeals Office&#8217;s primary purpose is to promote compromise and settlement. An historical problem has been that once a case gets to the Appeals Office, it often languishes for months.

		<description><![CDATA[The IRS and most states initiate audits by contacting a taxpayer by phone or letter. Taxpayers will often respond to the initial contact with a mixture of fear and intimidation. They may not want to communicate at all. Alternatively, the inclination may be to do whatever the auditor or examining agent wants to do and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tacomataxattorney.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9378842&amp;post=127&amp;subd=tacomataxattorney&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

That date may be extended, as was the 2009 voluntary disclosure program&#8217;s initial termination date. But, don&#8217;t count on it. This Initiative reflects the success of the 2009 program, which promoted over 15,000 voluntary disclosures.
