 Internal Revenue Service IRS tax news. IRS nationwide tax forum kicks off July 19th and you best be there or the IRS may kick you off. Just kidding. I don't even know what that means. But first, an attempt at a joke. Dealing with this administration's like living with someone who's eating you out of house and home. Eating me out of house and home. Using up my hot water. Except that this administration drives you out with inflation. That's inflation for ya. At least with a dude that was eating you out of house and home. Somebody's getting fed. Please stop stuffing your face. Dealing with this administration's more like having that dude take your food, but rather than eat it, they throw it in your face. And then they try to come up with some long explanation about how somebody else actually was the one who threw your own food in your face. You don't understand, Mom. You just don't understand. And you're like, but wait a second here. I saw you. I saw you taking a shot. Like five seconds ago, throw my own food in my face. But they're like, no, you don't understand. It was Putin. Come here from Russia. And then he colluded with like that guy that runs the gas station down at the corner. They're totally the ones that threw your own food in your face. And you should totally be pissed at those food throwing people. I don't buy it. I don't buy it. I don't buy it. I don't buy it. I don't buy it. July 14th is the last day to register for all 32 webinars. IRS YouTube video on down below for the 2022 IRS nationwide tax form. There's a link to that here. IR 2022-134 July 11th, 2022 Washington.

That's going to be interesting stuff as a special feature of the 2022 forum. The IRS invites attendees to participate in one or more virtual focus groups. Focus groups are arranged around the following topics. So this is the focus of the focus group, if you will, hence the name of the focus group. Improving the taxpayer experience and IRS services, improving the taxpayer experience and IRS outreach. We certainly need some focusing on those with those get some groups together on those things. Tax pro account and business online account, digital asset transactions, tax treatment of retirement distributions, Affordable Care Act forms, IRS online accounts, responding to IRS correspondence audit notices, taxpayer civil rights, are your clients receiving the services they need, online tax tools and resources for refundable credits to pass the present and the future.
