Welcome to Tax Controversy

A tax controversy rarely turns on the law alone. Deadlines, procedural rights, and the order in which a practitioner raises remedies shape what a client can still do once a notice arrives.

In this one-hour webinar, Frost Law partners Rebecca Sheppard, Esq., and Peter Haukebo, Esq., join ALFi to work through the audit, collection, and post-assessment stages of a tax matter. Rebecca Sheppard and Peter Haukebo show attendees how to identify critical deadlines, protect appeal rights before they lapse, and evaluate which remedies remain open at each stage.

The session then turns to the remedies themselves: Offers in Compromise, Installment Agreements, Currently Not Collectible status, bankruptcy, penalty abatement, innocent spouse relief, and lien-related options. For each, the presenters address when it fits, what it requires, and how it interacts with the others.

Built for practitioners who handle live client disputes, the course puts strategy, sequencing, and informed client counseling ahead of theory.
