Orrick Tax Talk 11 - IRS Audits
The IRS Tax-Exempt Bonds audit program is very active with 300-400 bond issues being audited at any time, with tax problems occurring in as many as 50% of the audits. These tax problems range from major to minor violations and issuers and borrowers should formulate informed responses when dealing with the IRS during an audit. Listen to this week’s video to learn more about the two types of Tax-Exempt Bonds audits: targeted (specific and unique to the transaction) and random (market segment approach, identifying certain types of deals or industries to focus on). In addition, Larry and Ed walk you through the process that issuers and borrowers can expect during and IRS audit of tax-exempt bonds.
