Appeals

If your federal tax return was recently under examination and you received written notification of an adjustment the IRS is making to your tax return, such as disallowing a deduction or credit, you have the right to disagree and the right to appeal its decision. An IRS Tax Appeal is a common way to resolve disagreements you have with the IRS that relate to items you report on your return.

But IRS audits aren’t the only thing taxpayers can appeal. You also have the right to question:

  1. IRS collection actions, such as liens, levies, seizures and installment-agreement terminations.
  2. Rejected offers in compromise to settle tax bills.
  3. Penalties and interest the IRS adds to your tax bill.
  4. And more

The audit and collection processes are about the IRS getting as much money as possible. While the IRS Tax Appeal process is about finding a settlement for the matter.

What Can be Appealed

Generally any type of decision or action taken by the IRS is eligible for an IRS tax appeal such as:

  • Audits/Examination Determinations
  • Rejected Offers in Compromise
  • Requests for Penalty Abatement or Removal
  • Liens
  • Wage and Bank Levies
  • Innocent Spouse Decisions
  • Rejected Installment Payment Plans
  • Seizures
  • Penalties and Interest

However, you just have to know the tax code and whether an IRS tax appeal is a viable solution. Sunrise Tax Resolution can help you determine if an IRS tax appeal is the best recommendation for your situation.
