Voluntary Disclosure in Beta: What the IRS is Testing Next

Join Rebecca Sheppard and Peter Haukebo on February 17, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET for an in-depth exploration of the evolving IRS Voluntary Disclosure Program. As the IRS proposes significant shifts in how non-compliant taxpayers are integrated back into the system, tax practitioners face the challenge of advising clients in an increasingly unsettled regulatory environment. While these new rules are not yet final, the combination of current Internal Revenue Manual guidance and recent Criminal Investigation practices provides a critical roadmap for where enforcement and penalty policies are headed.

This session is designed to help practitioners bridge the gap between today’s requirements and tomorrow’s standards. Attendees will learn to distinguish between binding guidance and IRS signaling, evaluate the practical implications of proposed penalty changes, and exercise sound professional judgment when timing is everything. Whether you are navigating current disclosure frameworks or preparing for the transition to new procedures, this webinar offers the strategic insight necessary to protect your clients’ interests.
