IRS Appeals

The IRS has an appeals system for people who do not agree with the results of an IRS examination of their tax returns or with other tax adjustments made by the IRS to their tax liability. If you are involved in a tax audit with the IRS, make sure you know and understand all your rights to an appeal from an IRS decision.

After you get the tax auditor's results and you're not satisfied with them, you can appeal to the IRS appeals office. You will get a thirty (30) day letter from the IRS auditor which will inform you that you have thirty days to exercise your appeal rights. It is likely that it will be nine months to one year before your IRS appeals audit is heard. If possible, try to settle the tax case before or at this appeal.

What is an Appeal?

	An Appeal is a request to reconsider an IRS decision.
	The action of filing an appeal puts the IRS on notice that the you do not agree with their decision and stops them from collecting from you.
	The goal of the IRS Appeal Division is to "settle" disputes between the IRS and taxpayers.
	The most common IRS decision which is appealed is that of an IRS Audit where the IRS has increased your tax liability.
	Often this increase includes additional penalties and interest.
	You must file an Appeals request within a certain time frame and follow the IRS guidelines for an Appeal request to be valid.

Warning!

If you do not file your Appeal request correctly and on time, you may lose the opportunity to have an Appeals officer listen to your side of the story.

Do not take chances…..hire a tax attorney who will vigorously and objectively defend your rights.
