Hugo Castillo
This was the most organized conference I have ever been to especially for it to be virtual. They provided excellent materials to go along with each session. Help was always available. Speakers and topics were on point. This conference is for any tax professional regardless of what stage you are at in your career. They had all the VIP hitters when it came to Venders too. Latino Tax Pro does a phenomenal job educating, marketing, communicating with the the tax professionals community. I really hope to be in Vegas next year.
Megan Kehoe
The conference was a great experience. It was easy to manage and the venders were very helpful and accessible with questions. The quality of the trainings were excellent.
Gizelle Monarres
I did like it and was able to learn new things that I almost forgot about. Also, I end up laughing at myself only because I was working at the same time that I was doing the classes and I had fun. I would like to thank all the instructors since they were able to give me some answers that I didn’t remember during this past tax season for TY 2019.
Thank you for having Latino Tax Fest available and I will be seeing you next year and I hope that it will be in Vegas.
Pilar Rodriguez
Muchísimas gracias por la oportunidad de conocer su trabajo, excelentes todos los invitados , por su profesionalismo, su apoyo en conocimiento no solo la parte tributaria si no también todo lo que se relaciona con esta profesión. Un fuerte abrazo 🤗
Luz Cifuentes
Es la primera vez que asisto a Latino Tax Fest, y estoy feliz con la decision, porque los expositores y todos los temas me parecieron excelentes, y se que por ser la primer vez que se hace virtual, hay problemas técnicos y espero que el siguiente año podamos vernos en Vegas o en su defecto tengamos mas experiencia virtual con ustedes.
Gracias de todo corazón por este Tax Fest.

Taxpayer Advocate Service & IRS Focus Groups
Taxpayer Advocate Service Problem Solving Day
Stop by the TAS table to schedule an appointment.
The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) will be available to assist taxpayers with unresolved IRS tax problems. Our goal is to provide personalized, step-by-step guidance. If your tax problem meets TAS case criteria, we’ll assign a Case Advocate to work directly with you.
To discuss a client’s tax matter at the event, please ensure you have the proper authorization form. You will need either a Form 2848, Power of Attorney, or Form 8821, Tax Information Authorization. If you are not a CPA, Enrolled Agent, or licensed attorney, you will likely need to use the Form 8821. Please bring a signed copy of the form with you to the event. Appointments will be assigned on a first come first serve basis. TAS will be located in the hallway right outside the main classrooms at Room 352.
TAS is an independent organization within the IRS. TAS helps taxpayers resolve tax problems, recommends changes to prevent future tax problems, and protects taxpayer rights. TAS’s services are free to taxpayers who are:
- Experiencing a financial hardship or having financial difficulties because of a tax problem;
- Trying, but haven’t been able to resolve an IRS tax problem; or
- Believing an IRS system or procedure isn’t working.
IRS Focus Groups
Share your opinion directly with the IRS. Stop by their table to schedule an appointment. More information is coming soon!
