There are times when disagreements between the IRS and taxpayers arise. It is for these cases that the IRS Office of Appeals was created. With the appeals system in place, it is possible to resolve many issues without relying on a court of law.
The appeals system applies to taxpayers who: have received a letter from the IRS explaining their right to appeal the IRS’s decision, do not agree with the IRS’s decision, or are not signing the agreement form that was sent to them.
In appealing tax matters, only the current laws apply. The process and provisions may be confusing, which is why taxpayers with tax agreements are advised to seek the services of a qualified tax consultant for advice and representation in order to get the compromise that they want.

If a taxpayer’s case qualifies for an appeal, the IRS Appeals Office will review the issues of the case with a fresh perspective and schedule a conference with the taxpayer. The conferences may be conducted through correspondence, via telephone, or in person. Many disagreements are often settled in conferences, making expensive and time-consuming court trials unnecessary. The Appeals Office will consider any valid reason for disagreement, save for moral, religious, political, constitutional, conscientious objection, or similar grounds.
When appealing an audit or tax decision, however, the services of a qualified tax consultant may mean the difference between a failed appeal and a successful one.
