Plunkett Cooney to continue IRS series with webinar July 9


Plunkett Cooney will continue its What to do When the IRS Comes Knocking series with  a webinar on “IRS Collection Alternatives for Unique & Complex Tax Controversy Cases” Wednesday, July 9, from 11 a.m. to noon.

Staying on track with one’s tax liability can be a challenge for any number of reasons. That’s why we wanted to examine the question we frequently hear from our clients: “What Should I do When the IRS Comes Knocking?”

This second installment of the three-part webinar series will build on what was discussed in part 1, which included a review of the IRS tax collections process and a discussion about the agency’s two most common collection alternatives for taxpayers – installment agreements and offers in compromise.

This session will focus on additional collection alternatives for taxpayers with unique and complex situations. These include first-time penalty abatements, reasonable cause abatements, administrative waivers, statutory exemptions and even bankruptcy.

In addition, attendees will learn about the IRS’ passport denial and revocation program, agency-imposed liens, innocent spouse relief, and more.

Presenting the webinar will be Joseph A. Peterson, a member of Plunkett Cooney's Business Transactions & Planning Practice Group who serves as leader of the firm's Tax Law Practice Group. He has experience with tax law, risk management and litigation.

Printed attorney directory available


For those who prefer the convenience of a printed book, the State Bar of Michigan’s 2025 Directory of Michigan Attorneys is a must-have for an office.   The State Bar of Michigan is bringing back the printed directory as a pilot program. SBM heard from members asking for the option of a printed directory and responded.

This hands-on reference book lists active Michigan attorneys’ contact information—including address, phone number, fax number, and email address.   It does not include detailed court listings or other similar information, which is available in the SBM online Resource Directory at www.michbar.org/Publications/Resource-Directory.  The most up-to-date information on attorney status and contact information is always available in the free online Member Directory at michbar.org.

The printed attorney directory can be purchased for $45 through the State Bar of Michigan online store at https://store.michbar.org/Store-Search.  The store is located within SBM’s online member area, and customers will be prompted to log in.  Non-attorneys can create an online account and get access to the SBM Store by signing up at https://e.michbar.org/Member-Type.
