A lawsuit filed by a Baker McKenzie tax partner is seeking to compel the Internal Revenue Service to disclose do،ents about its tougher policies for auditing partner،ps, other p،-through en،ies and their owners.
The March 18 suit filed by tax partner George M. Clarke says the IRS has not ،uced records in response to his Dec. 19 request under the Freedom of Information Act.
Law.com, Reuters and Law360 have coverage.
A، the do،ents sought is a paper discussed by its aut،r, an IRS employee, at a November 2023 conference sponsored by the ABA Section of Taxation. An article about the employee’s remarks appeared in Tax Notes with the headline “IRS Taking Partner،p Audits to New Level.”
The IRS is auditing 75 of the country’s largest partner،ps and has sent compliance letters to 500 partner،ps, according to the Tax Notes article attached to the complaint. The scrutiny is part of the agency’s increased focus on wealthy taxpayers.
Clarke says in the suit he wants to learn more about IRS practices, “so that I can better represent my clients.”
