Recent events have revealed that there are apparently many IRS examiners and many taxpayer representatives who do not know about Fast Track Mediation. The process is briefly described in IRS Publication 3605. Both taxayers and the government can derive very strong benefits from the process. And according to several provisions contained in the Internal Revenue Manuals, examiners are officially obligated to advise a taxpayer of the right to informal resolution procedures which include conferences with a manager and Fast Track Mediation. In the near future there will appear a posting that describes the process, cites provisions in the IRM's relating to the process, and describes the benefits of pursuing that informal resolution opportunity.

Joe! Great stuff, this will be useful to lots of people.
Lots of folks don't understand the issues insiders have come to take for granted. We just pay our taxes, and then are astonished at the uses to which they are put!
I look forward to reading....
