IRS Audit Appeal Process
Navigating the audit appeal process can be time-consuming and daunting, but our IRS appeals lawyers are trained to guide you through the process. Here’s an overview of what to expect:
- Notice of Deficiency: If, after an audit, the IRS determines you owe additional taxes, you will receive a Notice of Deficiency outlining the proposed changes to your tax return and the amount owed.
- Filing an Appeal: If you disagree with the IRS’s findings, you can file an appeal within 90 days of receiving the Notice of Deficiency. Our IRS appeals lawyers will help you prepare a comprehensive appeal, including all necessary documentation and legal arguments and will represent you fearlessly.
- Appeals Conference: An IRS Appeals Officer will review your case once your appeal is filed. We will represent you in the appeals conference, presenting evidence and arguments to support your position and negotiating a resolution that reduces or eliminates the proposed tax liability.
- Tax Court: If a satisfactory resolution cannot be reached through the appeals process, our IRS appeals lawyers are prepared to take your case to the U.S. Tax Court. Our experienced litigators will advocate on your behalf, ensuring your rights are protected and your case is presented effectively.
