In David’s panel, the panelists from the IRS and private practice will discuss the evolution of IRS examinations before, during, and (eventually) after the COVID-19 pandemic. The panelists will discuss how the IRS policies and procedures have and will change in response to the pandemic and what to expect once the pandemic is over.
