Taylor English Duma LLP is pleased to announce that its partner Vivian D. Hoard has published a handbook for business owners dealing with tax issues and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The book, The Business Owner’s Guide to Handling Tax Issues and the IRS, is available for purchase on Amazon.com today here.
Hoard provides guidance for business owners when it comes to avoiding challenges with the IRS, providing practical approaches for addressing common disputes. The book covers a variety of topics helpful to business owners, including:
- Options for handling an IRS audit when negotiations fizzle out with the examination division;
- The role of the IRS Office of Appeals;
- Who should represent the business in resolving the IRS dispute; and
- What to do if a tax court petition isn’t filed in time.
“My goal was to create a comprehensive handbook for business owners that eliminates the mystery from dealings with the IRS and reduces the uncertainty of resolving disputes with one of the most intimidating government agencies,” said Vivian Hoard. “The content in the book is a direct result of the questions my clients ask every day, and I hope it will serve as a valuable tool for business owners with similar inquiries regarding their taxes and the IRS.”
At Taylor English, Hoard is a partner in the Tax Practice and a nationally recognized leader in the field. She counsels individuals and businesses on complex tax matters, including tax controversy, litigation, whistleblower claims and voluntary offshore disclosures. Hoard regularly consults with accounting firms during audits to help them and their clients understand their procedural options for resolving disputes at the lowest level possible.
Hoard earned her undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Georgia, and her LLM in Taxation from Emory University School of Law.
