A Notice of Deficiency signals that the IRS believes there are discrepancies in your tax return, which may result in a proposed increase in taxes owed. To dispute the IRS findings, you must petition the United States Tax Court within 90 days of receiving the notice.
I specialize in representing clients before the United States Tax Court and in negotiating favorable pre-trial settlements with the Office of Appeals. I provide tailored services for Notices of Deficiency and Tax Court petitions, focusing on your unique needs and objectives.
Petitioning the U.S. Tax Court: When you receive a Notice of Deficiency from the IRS, I will assist you in petitioning the United States Tax Court to dispute the deficiency. I have extensive experience in preparing and filing petitions with the Tax Court, ensuring compliance with all procedural requirements, deadlines, and motions, while advocating vigorously for your position.
Strategic Preparation: I will thoroughly review your case, analyze applicable tax laws and regulations, and develop compelling legal arguments to support your position. My goal is to present a strong, persuasive case on your behalf, maximizing your chances of a favorable outcome.
Effective Representation: I will serve as your advocate in pre-trial proceedings, clearly articulating your position in correspondence, court filings, and communications with the court. I will leverage my knowledge, experience, and negotiation skills to challenge IRS determinations and defend your rights throughout the process.
Negotiation with the Office of Appeals: In many cases, I work to negotiate favorable pre-trial settlements with the IRS Office of Appeals before Tax Court proceedings formally begin. I engage directly with IRS Appeals Officers, presenting strong arguments and evidence to support your position and pursue mutually acceptable resolutions.
Comprehensive Representation: From start to finish, I will provide clear communication, guidance, and representation so you remain fully informed and involved at every stage. My priority is your best outcome, and I remain committed to helping you navigate the complexities of Tax Court proceedings with confidence.
