6.??Appealing an IRS decision

The IRS issued the following Tax Tips about appeals:

• All taxpayers have the right to appeal an IRS decision in an independent forum and be heard
  This is not just one of ten basic rights ? known collectively as the Taxpayer Bill of Rights ? it?s the law.

• Taxpayers can appeal when they disagree with an IRS decision
  Taxpayers can submit a written request to have the IRS Independent Office of Appeals review a decision with which they disagree. The goal is to resolve tax disputes outside of the courtroom in a way that is fair and impartial and encourages voluntary compliance with tax law.

• Here?s what to expect after requesting an appeal of a tax matter
  When Appeals officers review cases submitted by taxpayers, they meet with taxpayers informally and consider their position and the IRS?s position in a fair and unbiased manner.
