Appeals and Appealing Tax Issues
Every taxpayer has the right to appeal many IRS actions, as well as most state decisions regarding a tax assessment or collection. An appeal can be thought of as a request to take a second look at a decision, the taxpayer’s situation and the impact of any ruling.
If you suspect that rules or procedures have not been followed by the government, consider appealing. What can and cannot be appealed varies widely. Appeals have many forms, depending on the issue, and must be filed according to specific instructions and timelines.
You may want to consult a tax professional regarding appeal rights if:
- You believe that you owe less tax than has been assessed
- You were not given warning of a collection action
- The IRS gave incorrect you guidance on a tax issue
- A revenue officer is ignoring your rights
