During the semester, the student will conduct client interviews, identify the federal tax issue(s) in dispute, determine the best course of action to resolve those tax issues, review client tax documentation, conduct federal tax research, review the Internal Revenue Code, contact IRS personnel and represent our clients in negotiations with the IRS - all under the supervision of Professor Richard Carpenter.
