If you disagree with an IRS determination on your case, you can appeal.
The IRS Office of Appeals is an independent function within the IRS. The goal of Appeals is to make objective and impartial decisions about your case.
An Appeals Petition can be Informal if the amount in dispute is $25,000 or less. You must file a Formal Protest Appeal if your case involves more than $25,000.
You can appeal the following tax disputes:
- Certain penalties, including the trust fund recovery penalty.
- Offers–in–compromise.
- Employment tax adjustments.
- Any liens, levies, seizures, denials, or terminations of installment agreements.
- Finally, you are able to appeal collection due process notices, denials of abatement of interest, and other claims.
Consequences for Not Appealing your Claim Timely
The deadlines to file your Appeal can vary. If you miss your deadline you lose your right to challenge the issues in dispute and you will be stuck with the IRS’ determination.
This is why it is important to contact an experienced tax professional as soon as you receive your IRS notices.
