TaxCon's keynote speakers welcome attendees to event

APPLETON, Wis. - EntSun -- The National Association of Tax Professionals (NATP) welcomed attendees to its first ever online conference, TaxCon, with three special keynote speakers kicking off the event.

The session began with Sharyn Fisk, director of the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), relaying information about what taxpayers and tax professionals can expect from today's OPR and the upcoming changes. The OPR oversees tax preparers and other third parties in the tax system who practice before the IRS.

Larry Gray, CPA, NATP government affairs liaison, then discussed the Taxpayer First Act, updating attendees on the IRS's strategy and how it intends to implement the act going forward. The main components of the IRS's strategy fall into three categories: the taxpayer experience, training and organizational redesign.
