Not all tax disputes qualify for an IRS appeal. For instance, appeals are not valid if you knowingly withheld information during an audit or are unable to pay your tax debt. However, there are specific situations where filing an appeal makes sense, including:
The IRS made an incorrect decision due to a misinterpretation of the law
The IRS improperly applied the law due to a misunderstanding of the facts
The IRS is taking inappropriate collection action against you
Your Offer in Compromise request was denied, and you disagree with the results
The IRS used incorrect information or facts in making its decision
If any of the above apply, initiating an appeal may be the right step. Be sure to provide supporting evidence to substantiate claims of misinterpretation or misinformation.
The IRS appeals process typically begins when you receive a notice explaining your right to appeal their decision on your tax debt. This letter includes the address for filing your written protest and the timeframe for submission—usually 30 days. Do not send the request directly to the Office of Appeals, as this may delay your case.
Once received, the IRS office that handled your case will review your protest and try to resolve the dispute. If unresolved, your case is forwarded to the Office of Appeals. Specific procedures depend on your type of tax dispute. Omitting required information or failing to follow guidelines could result in a denied appeal.
Ensure your appeal is handled correctly. A seasoned tax professional, like those at Sky View Tax Resolution, can guide you through the process, protect your rights, suggest additional information to include, and execute your appeal according to tax law—even if it requires taking the case to tax court.
