Tax Appeal Mission

This information is intended as technical information of use to consultants and individuals doing research. The new IRS Hotline for any Appeals tax matter is 1-877-457-5055, whenever you need assistance with an Appeals tax matter.
The mission of Appeals is to resolve tax controversies, without litigation, on a basis that is fair and impartial to both the Government and the taxpayer, and in a manner that will enhance voluntary compliance and public confidence in the integrity and efficiency of the Service. The IRS states that its goal in the appeal process is to increase confidence in the overall fairness of the tax system by providing an efficient, independent administrative appeal process for all taxpayers. Accordingly, if a taxpayer disagrees with the IRS findings, the case can be appealed to the Appeals Office of the IRS. The local Appeals Office is separate from and independent of the IRS office that proposed the adjustment. Appeals Office reviews are conducted in an informal manner, by correspondence, telephone or at a personal conference. Most differences are settled in the appeals process without expensive and time-consuming court trials. The following information will help you determine what your appeal rights are and how to proceed. Please download the following link for an introduction to the Appeals Process: http://www.irs.gov/individuals/content/0,,id=98196,00.html An Appeals Officer is required to review the issues and give them a fresh look.
