Can you explain how a taxpayer utilizes an offer in compromise doubt as to liability in lieu of an audit reconsideration?  I have a new client that was audited for 2012 and 2013.  I was going to request an audit reconsideration, but would like to know how the OIC doubt as to liability would work?

I left a legal firm that was involved with what I consider be was an abusive tax scheme involving several doctors. I was told that the IRS challenged the scheme in court and to my surprise lost the case. Will the IRS go back and appeal the case as it most likely involves many millions of dollars?
