Understanding Authority Hierarchy in Tax

Did you know the IRS isn't actually who makes tax laws? And IRS Publications aren't actual Authority? Let's find out who does and what is.

She emphasizes the importance of basing tax positions on substantial authority rather than simplified IRS guidance or social media information.
