IRS Appeals

As with most legal proceedings, an appeal is quite possible with the IRS. An IRS appeal is a request for reconsideration put forth by the taxpayer who does not agree with an IRS decision. The appeal filing action basically informs the IRS that the taxpayer does not agree with a decision made by the IRS, and is seeking to set up a meeting to create change in that decision.

As a result, the IRS created its Appeal Division to settle such disputes between the IRS and the taxpayers.

Currently, the most common form of IRS appeal is when an IRS audit increases a taxpayers overall tax liability. With this increase in liability, additional penalties can occur, along with extra interest charges.

IRS Appeal Limitations

There are rules and time limits on the appeal process. In fact, a taxpayer interested in an appeal request must file it within the IRS' allotted time frame, and follow IRS guidelines for the request. If a taxpayer does not file their appeal request correctly, or it is filed too late, they may lose their ability to appeal.

Collection Appeals

When you are faced with an IRS Lien or IRS Levy, there is a possible way out. Whether you have been threatened with an IRS Levy or seizure, either verbally or in writing, a Collection Appeal may be able to help.

Once a Levy Notice has been issued, the IRS will allow you to file a Collection Appeal before they actually follow through on any asset seizures. A Collection Appeal is filed on a single page form, and basically gives you the taxpayer the opportunity to explain why and how the situation could be better solved without follow through on the IRS levy or seizure. A Collection Appeal is assigned to an Appeals Officer with the IRS' Appeals division, who then will make a decision as to the seizure within five days.
