"The foundation of the forum is Examination, Collection and Appeals, which are important topics to the tax practitioner," said Hukki, who has been a Licensed Taxpayer Representative at JK Harris since 2004. "Attending the forum helps me to stay up to date and understand the IRS' changes in these activities from year to year which allows me to better serve our clients."

"This year, the forum focused on a lot of the issues I see with our clients who are going through an audit," said Hukki. "As a practitioner, it is imperative I know the techniques the IRS uses in an examination and I remain diligent to all of the appeals rights of our clients."
