Protecting the opportunity for Tax Court review
An IRS notice may provide a route to court review, but not every disagreement falls within Tax Court jurisdiction. The type of notice and procedural requirements must be evaluated; ongoing conversations with the IRS should not be assumed to extend a filing deadline.
McCarthy Tax Law assists with tax court litigation and evaluates the relevant notices, factual record and procedural options. The appropriate response depends on your circumstances, not simply where you live in Florida.

Retain the notice and envelope and note when it arrived. Share the notice date and stated deadline with counsel promptly without posting private tax information online.
Use the website only to describe the general issue and any stated deadline. Do not send tax returns, Social Security numbers, financial records or other sensitive information through the form.
