Procedurally Taxing Offering and Discussion of IRS Graphic on Tax Litigation (8/14/19)

Students and Practitioners reading this blog (and the Federal Tax Procedure Book) will know that I recommend the Procedurally Taxing Blog, here.

There is a new offering today that has graphics with important data on tax litigation.  Keith Fogg, Statistics on Cases in Litigation from ABA Tax Section Meeting in May (ProcedurallyTaxing 8/14/19), here.  The actual graphic is linked on the PT blog with Keith's brief discussion of the graphics, but here is a link to the graphic.

Tax Controversy is a Hot Growth Area of the Practice (9/4/13)

From the estimable Tax Prof Blog - Tax Controversy and Litigation: One of the 12 Hot Practice Areas for 2020 and Beyond (Tax Prof Blog 9/4/13), here, which links to this article - David Ogul, What LEGAL Fields will be Hot?, National Jurist, p. 28, 30 (Sept. 2013), here.  Key excerpt:

Tax Controversy and Litigation 

Despite the recent scandal regarding the IRS' handling of conservative groups seeking nonprofit status, [Richard] Hermann expects tax controversy and litigation to become one of the hottest practice areas during the next decade or so.  

"The government is going to get more diligent about pursuing tax dollars, not only at the federal level, but at the state and local levels, too," he said. "This is an area that is growing, and it is always a good idea for someone who has been audited or wants to appeal their taxes to hire a tax controversy lawyer."
