Don't Like IRS' Tax Numbers? You Can Appeal Its Decisions.(SERIES: FUNDS & PERSONAL FINANCE)(IBD SPECIAL REPORT)(TAXES)
Byline: PAUL KATZEFF
Not seeing eye to eye with the Internal Revenue Service? You're not alone. More than 50,000 taxpayers are locked in disputes with the IRS over one or more specific issues.
The disagreements cover a wide range of topics. But whether they are simple or complex, you can take advantage of an appeals process.
Appeals conferences are not court proceedings. And there is no fee for an appeals hearing.
"But depending on the complexity, you may want to have a tax adviser or attorney with you or to help you prepare," said Matt Magnone, director of IRS controversy services for Ernst & Young. "And you may incur his customary fee for time or services."
A dispute typically starts with a request for information by the IRS.
"There are two types of requests," said Magnone. "One is a nonaudit request. The IRS may send you a letter, for example, asking for the Social Security number of a dependent, missing from your return."
