IRS Appeals

If at first you don’t succeed.

One of the guaranteed and most important rights of all taxpayers is the right to appeal. If you disagree with the IRS about the amount of your tax liability or about proposed collection actions you have the right to ask the IRS Appeals Office to review your case.

Additionally, proposed resolution options that are rejected by first level IRS employees can be appealed. Frequently, to have aggressive and innovative resolution options accepted and approved, they must be appealed.

Because we at IRSALLSTAR believe in getting the absolute best resolution for our clients, our tax professionals file appeals of IRS decisions on a regular basis.

If you are curious to find out how successful we are at appeals or to discuss appealing an IRS action or decision, contact us to schedule a free confidential consultation.
