Course Description

Your client owes money to the IRS. The IRS will inevitably file a lien against your client. What are the processes and procedures to avoid the filing of the IRS Notice of Federal Tax Lien (“NFTL”)?

The IRS has already filed a NFTL or they are threatening to levy your client. How do you appeal the filing of the NFTL or avoid the levy of your client’s assets? Join this webinar with E. Martin Davidoff and Alison Gadoua of Prager Metis and featuring IRS tax law expert Michael G. Blais to discuss the processes and nuances of utilizing CAP (Collection Appeals Program) Appeals and Collection Due Process hearings to protect your client’s rights. We will share practical information that includes both IRS and practitioner input. 

Learning Objectives:


  • Determine how to utilize the IRS CAP process to avoid the filing of Notices of Federal Tax Liens 

  • Give examples from the IRS on how they view arguments by Taxpayers to avoid or reverse the filing of Notices of Federal Tax Liens 

  • Evaluate the processes for dealing with collection issues in the IRS Independent Office of Appeals 

  • Identify procedures and strategies for utilizing rights under CAP Appeals and Collection Due Process Hearings concerning IRS collection issues
