In the coming days, look for the first post in an occasional series called “Taxtalk.” The series will look at a variety of issues related to taxes, but will not provide advice for preparing tax filings. Instead, Taxtalk will be a sort of insider’s account of what it’s like to be a “tax professional.” The first post in the series, “Praying on Desperation,” deals with the recent settlement between the Internal Revenue Service and so-called tax-resolution firms.
