International Topics in IRS Webinars, by Jean Mammen, EA

A wide variety of free, 2 CE live webinars are offered by the IRS stakeholder liaison service – usually on Thursdays, often at 2 PM ET. On busy days, there may also be one offered at another time.

These seminars give the IRS view on topics where tax professionals seem to need more help, based on tax return issues and cases that go before Tax Court.

Upcoming International Topics:

October 17, 2019, two webinars on international topics are scheduled:

Tax Obligations of U.S. Individuals Living and Working Abroad“, at 11 am ET

This is a follow-up to the live 2 CE international presentations in June. One of the presenters told me during the National Harbor IRS Tax Forum that this additional presentation was scheduled because over 3,000 questions had been submitted during the June presentations.

The presentation portion of this webinar will be relatively short. Most of the time will be devoted to answering live questions.

An Overview of the Foreign Tax Credit”, at 2 pm, ET

This may be a more detailed version of the excellent 1 CE presentation on the FTC at the IRS Tax Forums.
