Tax Court Rescues Taxpayer From The Agent From Hell
AFH is firmly convinced that your client is up to no good. I have only run into AFH a couple of times. My personal approach to Revenue Agents is that we are brother or brother and sister accountants searching for the truth. That the truth is definitely “no change” or in a very rare circumstance a refund is something that I don’t emphasize.
AFH is a different story. I have a friend who would yell and scream and pound the table with AFH. My approach is more passive-aggressive, which I like to think gets under AFH’s skin even more.

To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
