The IRS has an administrative appeals process that works with taxpayers to try to settle tax disputes in an effort to avoid formal court hearings.
 

The Role of IRS Appeals

 
The role of Appeals is to make an independent review of a tax dispute and to consider the positions taken by both the taxpayer and the Service.
The Appeals unit strives to resolve tax disputes in a fair way and remain impartial to both parties.
The IRS will send you a report and/or letter that will explain the proposed adjustments or proposed or taken collection action. The letter also tells you of your right to request a conference with an Appeals or Settlement Officer, as well as how to make your request for a conference.
In addition to examination adjustments, many other things can be appealed such as penalties, interest, trust fund recovery penalties, offers in compromise, liens, and levies.
If you request an Appeals conference, be prepared with records and documentation to support your position.
Appeals conferences are informal meetings.
You may represent yourself or have an attorney, accountant, or an individual enrolled to practice before the IRS, represent you. If you do not reach agreement with the Appeals or Settlement Officer, or you do not wish to appeal within the IRS, you may appeal certain actions through the courts.
 
 

Appeal – Collection Due Process procedures are available to you if you’ve received any one of the following notices:

 
 
1. Notice of Federal Tax Lien-  keep in mind this procedure is only available after the federal tax lien has been filed.
2. Notice of Intent to Levy –  This procedure is available after you receive your IRS final notice.
 
You have 30 days to request a hearing to preserve your right to go to Court.
Complete Form 12153, Request for a Collection Due Process or Equivalent Hearing
It is important you identify all your reasons for your disagreements.
 

The Process and where to send:

 
 
a. The completed Form 12153 should be sent to the same address that is shown on your Lien or Levy Notice.
b. If your request is not received within 30 days, you are still entitled to an Appeals hearing.
However, if you still disagree with the Appeals determination you cannot go to Court.

Collection Appeals Process

 
If you choose to go through the Collection Appeals Program (CAP) process then you cannot go to Tax Court on the Appeals’ decision.
You may go through the CAP process if you’ve received any one of the following notices:
a. Notice of Federal Tax Lien
b. Notice of Levy
c. Notice of Seizure
d. Denial or Termination of Installment Agreement
