The New IRS System of Post Appeals
Post-Appeals Mediation For Offers in Compromise Available Nationwide
The Internal Revenue Service has a revenue procedure providing rules for the nationwide rollout of post-Appeals mediation for Offer in Compromise (OIC) and Trust Fund Recovery Penalty (TFRP) cases.
The IRS Office of Appeals originally launched post-Appeals mediation for OIC and TFRP cases as a pilot program available in certain cities in December 2008.
Post-Appeals mediation is available to help resolve disputes after unsuccessful negotiations with the IRS Office of Appeals and is available for both factual and legal issues.
The mediator’s role is to assist the parties in reaching their own agreement collaboratively, but the mediator does not have settlement authority over any issue.
Appeals Officers trained in mediation techniques will serve as mediators at no cost to taxpayers.
Taxpayers also have the option of paying for a qualified non-IRS co-mediator.
Taxpayers or the IRS Office of Appeals may request nonbinding mediation for eligible cases, but the taxpayer may decline the IRS Office of Appeal’s request for mediation.
The goal is to complete the process within 90 days after the mediation request is approved.
Eligibility criteria and complete procedures for initiating a post-Appeals mediation request for both examination and collection issues are in Revenue Procedure 2014-63, which will be published in Internal Revenue Bulletin 2014-53 on Dec. 29, 2014.
If you’re an offer in compromise has been denied call us today for free initial tax consultation and we will walk you to the different steps of IRS appeals.
THE PROCESS
Post-Appeals Mediation lets you and your Appeals Officer or Settlement Officer resolve disputes while your case is still under Appeals’ consideration.
Once your PAM application is accepted, the goal is resolution within 60-90 days.
With PAM, a trained mediator from the IRS Office of Appeals is assigned to help you and your Appeals Officer or Settlement Officer reach an agreement on the disputed issue(s).
PAM does not create any special authority for settlement by Appeals.
You retain full control over every decision you make during the PAM process.
No one can impose a decision on either you or Appeals.
The Appeals mediator is specifically trained in mediation techniques and is independent of the Appeals employee with whom you have been working.
In annual customer satisfaction surveys conducted by a non-government company, taxpayers like you have consistently given the independence and impartiality of the Appeals mediator the highest rating of all survey questions.
Read the General Mediation Information page if you want to learn more about how mediation works and the role of the Appeals mediator.
The benefits of settlement over litigation include:
For your case to be considered for PAM, you must first work cooperatively and try to resolve all issues with the Appeals Officer or Settlement Officer before seeking the services of an Appeals mediator.
When considering PAM, consider what might happen if your case is not settled.
Ask yourself:
- Am I prepared for what could be lengthy and costly litigation?
- What is my risk that the litigation will be unsuccessful, and what would the consequences be?
PAM is available for both legal and factual disputes.
Certain cases and issues are not eligible for PAM:
- Cases considered by an IRS campus site.
- Issues docketed in any court, designated for litigation, or under consideration for designation for litigation.
- “Whipsaw” issues, which are issues for which resolution with respect to one party might result in inconsistent treatment without the participation of the other party.
- • Collection cases, except for certain offer in compromise and Trust Fund Recovery Penalty cases as provided for in Announcement 2011-6.
- Other issues listed in Revenue Procedure 2009-44.
To apply for PAM, send your Appeals Officer or Settlement Officer a written statement containing:
1. A specific request for Post-Appeals Mediation, and
2. A written statement detailing your position on the disputed issue(s)

Summary of Key FATCA Provisions
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), enacted in 2010 as part of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act, is an important development in U.S. efforts to combat tax evasion by U.S. persons holding investments in offshore accounts.
Under FATCA, certain U.S. taxpayers holding financial assets outside the United States must report those assets to the IRS.
In addition, FATCA will require foreign financial institutions to report directly to the IRS certain information about financial accounts held by U.S. taxpayers, or by foreign entities in which U.S. taxpayers hold a substantial ownership interest.
Reporting by U.S. Taxpayers Holding Foreign Financial Assets
FATCA requires certain U.S. taxpayers holding foreign financial assets with an aggregate value exceeding $50,000 to report certain information about those assets on a new form (Form 8938) that must be attached to the taxpayer’s annual tax return.
Reporting applies for assets held in taxable years beginning after March 18, 2010. For most taxpayers this will be the 2011 tax return they file during the 2012 tax filing season.
Failure to report foreign financial assets on Form 8938 will result in a penalty of $10,000 (and a penalty up to $50,000 for continued failure after IRS notification).
Further, underpayments of tax attributable to non-disclosed foreign financial assets will be subject to an additional substantial understatement penalty of 40 percent.
Reporting by Foreign Financial Institutions
FATCA will also require foreign financial institutions (“FFIs”) to report directly to the IRS certain information about financial accounts held by U.S. taxpayers, or by foreign entities in which U.S. taxpayers hold a substantial ownership interest.
To properly comply with these new reporting requirements, an FFI will have to enter into a special agreement with the IRS by June 30, 2013.
Under this agreement a “participating” FFI will be obligated to:
(1) undertake certain identification and due diligence procedures with respect to its accountholders;
(2) report annually to the IRS on its accountholders who are U.S. persons or foreign entities with substantial U.S. ownership; and
(3) withhold and pay over to the IRS 30-percent of any payments of U.S. source income, as well as gross proceeds from the sale of securities that generate U.S. source income, made to,
(a) non-participating FFIs,
(b) individual accountholders failing to provide sufficient information to determine whether or not they are a U.S. person, or
(c) foreign entity accountholders failing to provide sufficient information about the identity of its substantial U.S. owners.
Notice 2011-53 provides the phased-in timeline of key FATCA implementation dates for FFIs. It is important to note that many details of the new reporting and withholding requirements pertaining to FFIs must be developed through Treasury regulations.
Proposed regulations were issued on Feb. 8, 2012. Published IRS Notices accessible from this FATCA internet site provide currently available information and guidance.
