Beat the IRS in Tax Court

The IRS makes mistakes all the time. Sometimes it is impossible to find a bureaucrat at the IRS to fix the problem. When this happens, you go to court; Tax Court.

Beating the IRS in Tax Court is not a daunting task. You can file a small claims case if you owe less than $50,000. Small claims in Tax Court is similar to small claims in civil court. You can present your case to the judge in an informal environment; no fancy legal talk and maneuvers.

Another benefit of Tax Court is that once you file, the IRS attorneys work hard to get you to settle out of court. They can cut you some very nice deals, even more than you deserve, to keep the Tax Court docket open.

The IRS must stop all collection actions against you once they accept your installment agreement. In many cases, the IRS is required to automatically accept your installment request.

Do not give the IRS the opportunity to levy your bank account or garnish your paycheck. Use this powerful tool to your advantage.
