In our Tax Law Counsel Group, we prepare appeals from the matters that were resolved not in the clients' favor.  Naturaly, it was more efficient to prepare the applications without errors and with the full knowledge of the applicable law, in the first place.  However, when applications are filed without our assistance and the results are less than favorable, we offer to assist correcting the situation with the best possible results.

Appeals from Denials of Tax Relief

In most cases, the determinations by IRS may be appealed.

What Can Appeals Do for You?

 

Many of the different departments within IRS are responsible for making decisions concerning the application of tax law to various taxpayer issues. In some cases, agreement on these decisions, or determinations, cannot be reached. In other words, the taxpayer does not agree with the determination.

This is where Appeals comes in. Appeals is independent of any other IRS office and serves as an informal administrative forum for any taxpayer who disagrees with an IRS determination.  Appeals provides a venue where disagreements concerning the application of tax law can be resolved on a fair and impartial basis for both the taxpayer and the government. The mission of Appeals is to settle tax disagreements without having to go to the Courts and a formal trial.

Do you have a tax dispute?

If so, then you need to determine if Appeals is right for you.

If you've received an IRS correspondence and already know your case qualifies to be reviewed with Appeals then you should go to the Appeals homepage to determine your next steps.
