What Are IRS Tax Appeal Services?
A tax appeal is a request for the IRS to reconsider a tax decision that the taxpayer disagrees with. When someone files a tax appeal, the IRS is notified that the individual opposes the initial ruling and stops collecting money from them until the dispute is settled.
For appeal requests involving penalties of $25,000 or less, taxpayers can submit an informal small case request. However, formal protests require that you submit a written request containing your contact information, a copy of the IRS notification in question, relevant tax years relating to the dispute, and statements supporting your position. If you aren’t able to reach a mutually agreed-upon resolution, you can petition to go to Tax Court.
If you’re new to this process, you’re not alone. Because the appeals process is relatively complex, many individuals invest in IRS tax appeal services to facilitate the process. Through these services, CitoTax-qualified tax attorneys will assist you by identifying precedents and statutes that support your argument, determining which will best substantiate your case, and filing your appeal for you. These professionals can also represent you in Tax Court.
