Fighting the IRS in the Courtroom

There are times, however, when litigation is the best and only tool available to achieve your tax goals. When a tax dispute such as a withheld refund cannot be resolved in an audit or by appeal, your case can normally be brought to court.

After careful review of your financial records and other related documentation, the first crucial step is to decide where to file your lawsuit. Most cases are filed in the U.S. Tax Court where a judge who is expert in tax law will hear your case. In this court, you are not required to pay your disputed taxes prior to filing suit.

The Tax Litigation Process

In order to file with the U.S. District Court, you must first attempt all administrative remedies provided by the IRS and pay the taxes which are disputed.

This will follow a hierarchy of different court levels, summed up here:

• If you win at the District Court level, you can obtain a refund of the taxes you paid.
• If you have filed for certain types of bankruptcy you can bring your case to the U.S. bankruptcy court which decides upon IRS matters, including the discharge of tax liabilities.
• Finally, your case can be taken to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. Commonly, this court hears large tax cases and it requires the taxes to be paid before taking up your case.

At The Law Offices of Mark K. Miller, our tax litigation lawyers understand the importance of your case and will fight for your best outcome.
