IRS Nationwide Tax Forum
The IRS Tax Forum is a unique event because the content comes directly from the IRS. Sessions cover tax law updates, compliance guidance, e-filing requirements, enforcement priorities, and ethics. For firms with significant tax practices, the Tax Forum provides authoritative guidance that you can’t get from third-party sources.
The 2026 forums will be particularly important given the One Big Beautiful Bill Act changes, IRS workforce transitions under the DOGE-related budget adjustments, and evolving enforcement strategies. The multiple-city format makes it accessible to firms across the country.
Who should attend: Tax partners, senior tax managers, and anyone responsible for tax preparation quality control.
