IRS Chaos And Taxpayer Fallout: What Practitioners Need To Know With Carlos Samaniego

In this episode of the Tax Rep Network Podcast, Eric Green and Carlos Samaniego sit down at the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation’s community center for a wide-ranging and candid discussion about the IRS’s current state of disarray and what it means for tax professionals and their clients. From the revolving door of IRS Commissioners to the DOJ’s surprising shift toward denaturalization cases tied to tax filings, they break down how these developments create both risks and opportunities for practitioners. Eric and Carlos also expose troubling practices among large tax resolution firms, explain why state tax agencies like Connecticut and California are often more aggressive than the IRS, and highlight strategies for protecting clients caught in the chaos. Whether you are a tax pro navigating refund lawsuits or competing against the “big box” resolution companies, this conversation delivers real-time insights, war stories, and actionable advice for surviving – and thriving – in today’s turbulent enforcement environment.
