A focused approach to a federal tax dispute
The United States Tax Court hears certain disputes between taxpayers and the IRS. Whether a case can be brought, and how it proceeds, depends on the type of dispute and the applicable procedural requirements. Reviewing the IRS notice and the record of the controversy is an important first step.

An IRS notice may carry a court filing deadline
Do not assume that discussions with the IRS extend the time to seek court review. Keep every notice and contact the firm promptly to discuss the stated deadline and your options.
Can every IRS disagreement be taken to Tax Court?
No. Tax Court jurisdiction depends on the kind of dispute and the legal requirements for bringing the case. The firm can review your notice and procedural history to discuss the available paths.
