Tax IRS Appeals hearing response by J David Hopkins Colorado Springs Tax Attorney to win IRS case!!

Appeals within the IRS can be very slow but they can be useful, when appropriate. If you feel like you have a good case, then IRS Appeals will be fair. If you foresee problems, the Court might be the better option. You may not need a tax attorney - just legal advice.

There are many types of Appeal and many reasons to Appeal within the IRS. You can appeal an unfavorable audit, a hardship collection of tax, a levy or lien, an unfavorable determination or a denial of benefit.

Your name, address, and a daytime telephone number. A statement that you want to appeal the IRS findings to the Appeals Office. A copy of the letter showing the proposed changes and findings you do not agree with. The tax periods or years involved. A list of the changes you do not agree with, and why you do not agree. The facts supporting your position on any issue that you do not agree with. The law or authority, if any, on which you are relying. Your signature on the written protest, stating that it is true under the penalties of perjury, as follows: Under the penalties of perjury, I declare that I examined the facts stated in this protest, including any accompanying documents, and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, they are true, correct, and complete.

With either of these appeals, the method & manner which the forms & questions are answered are essential to a successful appeal. But, with either appeal you extend the statute of limitations for collections simply by making the appeal.

If you are appealing an IRS audit, you may complete Form 12203 if the amount at issue is less than $25,000. You may also make a Formal Protest but there is no form for this. You must send the appeal to the IRS office & state the following:

You may also choose to appeal to the Taxpayer Advocate by using Form 911. But, they can only grant relief in hardship cases & where normal channels of IRS procedure have failed. Also, the Taxpayer Advocate is able retard & question IRS Collection but can't override enforced collection action.

*Wage & Income transcripts are computer-generated IRS records about you from your job, your bank, your mortgage company, etc. Account Transcripts show details of your account at the IRS. If you are too nervous about calling the IRS just bring what you can and come in. If you call, the IRS may be stern but don't worry, you need the Wage & Income Transcripts and the Account Transcripts. Tell them you are not yet ready to talk and need the documents to get tax legal advice. Don't Argue!!
