Learn the requirements and process for requesting audit reconsideration when challenging a bad IRS assessment. Discover what qualifies as new information and how to submit a complete documentation package using Publication 3598 and Form 12661.
Understand how to correct substitute for returns by filing original returns and when amended returns can be used to challenge assessments. Explore the timing rules, refund limitations under Section 6511, and circumstances that prevent reopening such as court decisions or closing agreements.
Examine the mechanics of doubt-as-to-liability offers using Form 656-L and how they differ from audit reconsideration. Learn when this approach is most effective, particularly for trust fund assessments, and understand why collection stops immediately upon filing.
Discover how Collection Due Process hearings can be used to challenge underlying tax liability when it’s the taxpayer’s first opportunity to do so. Learn the strict requirements for proving no prior opportunity existed and the importance of timely filing Form 12153.
Explore the pay-and-claim-refund strategy as the only guaranteed method to force court review of a disputed assessment. Understand the procedural requirements, timing rules, and how to choose between Federal District Court and the Court of Federal Claims.
