Work History

Supervisory Internal Revenue Agent

Internal Revenue Service
Austin
05.2016 - 12.2018
  • I am the Supervisory Revenue Agent for a group in LB&I Individual Compliance. We are a group that is involved in working OVDP Cases, FBAR Cases, FTC Cases, Foreign Athletes and Foreign Entertainers.
  • My group when I took over had significant problems with statute cases. This has been corrected in the short time that I have been in charge in the group.
  • My previous experience as an International Examiner, Senior International Examiner, and a manager of an International Group has been a significant advantage in taking over a group lacking in permanent leadership and many technical aspects.

Supervisory Internal Revenue Agent

Internal Revenue Service
02.2013 - 05.2016
  • I have been an International Business Compliance manager since February 2013. My team has employees in five posts of duties.
  • The last couple of years have been very difficult in managing my team with furlough and restricted travel.
  • My inventory consists of many types of case including Global CIC Cases, CIC Cases, Industry Cases, CAP Cases, and Global High Wealth Cases.
  • My prior background as an International Examiner and Senior International Examiner has been very beneficial in handling the sophisticated issues that are present in my cases.
  • My inventory consists of cases that are very high profile and case sensitive.
  • I work on a regular basis with IPN, Transfer Pricing Practice, Economists, Local Counsel, and National Office Counsel to resolve the issues.
  • One of my cases is known thru out the service as a difficult case to manage and keep moving forward.
  • One of my biggest accomplishments for the difficult case is improving the late IDR'S that was present every month for this case.
  • When I arrived two years ago the delinquent return average was over 30 a month. Within a year I had reduced this to less than 5 a month.
  • I accomplished this by analyzing the monthly IDR reports and meeting with my agents regularly to solve this important problem.
  • Another major accomplishment is getting my team together to present to the executives that visit on a regular basis our issues and discussion of the various cases.
  • During February 2014 the International Business Compliance Director and the Director of Field Operations paid a week-long visit to meet my employees and see presentations on each of our cases.
  • During November 2014 I was actively involved in the presentation for the Industry Director of Natural Resources and Domestic Director of Field Operations to discuss our difficult high profile case.
  • Another accomplishment was working with MITS to resolve a problem in sending large amounts of data to the Director of Field Operations.
  • It would have taken up hundreds of CD'S and could not be sent by OCS. We found a solution where the executive would have a private server for her use and I would be able to send virtually unlimited amounts of data to her private server.
  • My prior IRS service which started in 1984 before becoming a manager was on the technical side.
  • I gained extensive experience working at many multinational companies the last few years.
  • My territory has included some of the largest and most complex companies in the world.
  • I have worked on six CAP cases.
  • I had been involved in some of the most complex issues at the various companies.
  • I have utilized extensive analytical tools in my job along with many research sources to support the IRS positions on cases.
  • I had been involved in the planning of the International parts of the examinations and preparing audit plans.
  • I handled all the input of case data into the IMS system for all my cases.
  • I had been the senior international examiner on large companies and had junior agents under my leadership.
  • I had controlled large company examinations and issues producing CIC/IE reports.
  • I had worked several cases as part of the APA program working with competent authority.
  • My many years in SBSE with a special emphasis in offshore activities before coming to LB&I also supports me in showing my technical skills.
