How Can You Appeal IRS Decisions?

Today we’re talking about the IRS Office of Appeals.
We’ve got some information you need to know.

Many tax disputes are not resolved in favor of the taxpayer. Many times, the IRS is wrong in their conclusions. There are remedies if you feel you have a strong case and can support that case with the IRS.

The IRS Office of Appeals was formed in 1927. Their mission is, “To resolve tax controversies, without litigation, on a basis which is fair and impartial to both the government and the taxpayer in a manner that will enhance voluntary compliance and public confidence in the integrity and efficiency of the service.”

Tax controversies can involve proposed tax assessments, tax collection, or other IRS actions. Once the IRS issues a final notice, taxpayers can generally seek a remedy from the courts. However, the appeals process is less formal and less costly than court proceedings and is not subject to judicial rules of evidence or procedure. Historically, it has been able to settle the majority of the cases that have come before it.
