What happens when a taxpayer disagrees with the Internal Revenue Service? Some people think that the matter ends there: the IRS always wins, right? Not necessarily.
There are a few ways to appeal an action with IRS but in a weird twist, most of those appeals actions are actually taken up with IRS. In other words, if you disagree with IRS, you ask the IRS to change their minds (you can imagine how often that happens).
Except for one. A big one. You can take your tax matter to court. Specifically, you head over to United States Tax Court. The Tax Court is a real federal court and not, as some people think, actually affiliated with the IRS.
