Receiving an unfavorable decision from the IRS can be discouraging, but it doesn’t have to be the final word. If you disagree with the outcome of an audit, a tax penalty, or other IRS determinations, you have the right to appeal. With professional IRS Appeals Services, you can challenge the IRS’s findings and work toward a resolution that aligns with your legal and financial interests.

What is the IRS Appeals Process?

The IRS appeals process allows taxpayers to formally dispute decisions made by the IRS. Appeals are handled by the Office of Appeals, an independent body within the IRS, ensuring impartial review. Common reasons for filing an appeal include:

• Disputing the findings of an audit.
• Challenging penalties or interest assessments.
• Disagreeing with the IRS’s denial of a request, such as an offer in compromise.

How I Help with IRS Appeals

Initial Case Review

I begin by reviewing your IRS notice and supporting documentation to understand the details of your case. This step ensures we identify valid grounds for your appeal and develop a strong argument.

Preparing and Filing the Appeal

Appealing an IRS decision requires precision and compliance with strict deadlines. I will:

• Draft and submit a formal Protest Letter or Request for Appeals Review, depending on your case.
• Ensure all necessary documentation and evidence is included to support your position.
• Clearly articulate why the IRS decision should be reconsidered based on facts, laws, and regulations.

Representation in Appeals Conferences

I will act as your representative during any appeals conferences, communicating directly with the Office of Appeals on your behalf. This involves presenting your case, answering questions, and negotiating for the best possible outcome.

Negotiating Resolutions

During the appeals process, I aim to resolve disputes efficiently through strategies like:

• Settling tax liabilities for less than the original amount assessed.
• Requesting penalty abatement or interest reduction.
• Clarifying errors or misinterpretations in the IRS’s initial findings.

Post-Appeals Guidance

After your appeal is resolved, I provide guidance on implementing the resolution and ensuring compliance with any new requirements to prevent future issues.
