So, Terry, this is sort of similar question, but what does the IRS wish practitioners specifically knew?

Terry LemonsGUEST
I think the thing that people inside the IRS wish practitioners knew was just basically how complicated the tax process is.

And unless you've worked inside government or maybe a large corporation, the complexity inside the agency really contributes to additional time required.
