Objection and appeal pays off if you do it right
Everyone makes mistakes from time to time. So does the IRS. When this happens, the ball is in your court to object. This takes time and energy. But based on the facts, we argue that it pays off. Since 2000, hundreds of clients have asked us for objection procedure advice. Our success rate is over 85%.
What to watch out for when lodging an objection against a tax assessment or fine
To give you an idea of what our appeals advisors look for, we list 7 key points below.
1. Distinguish between assumptions, opinions and facts. What works is to stick to the facts and firmly substantiate your position
2. Case law will make your case stronger. Research whether there have already been rulings in similar situations and refer to them. Our specialists find out such info through a case law database and also look at pending cases if relevant.
3. Always file your objection on time. Is the required information not available? In this situation, we always serve a pro forma objection. In it, we indicate that substantive reasoning follows.
4. It's nicer to keep your money with you than to have to get it back later. That's why we automatically request deferred payment for the amount you disagree with.
5. Did you know that you are most likely entitled to a (fixed) expense allowance? Of course, you have to ask for this.
6. We always ask to be heard during the objection procedure. In addition, we ask to see the documents. We have for example, could have a fine set aside because notes showed that the tax authorities had made a mistake.
7. Are you receiving an assessment, additional assessment or penalty because the Tax Office deviates from a previously taken position? Then check Whether reliance is violated. Be sure to provide evidence of this as well.
Appeal procedure after (partial) rejection of objection
Being right is no guarantee of being right. If your objection is rejected, we will discuss with you the chances of an appeal to the tax court in your situation. If you decide to lodge an appeal, you should know that you can also count on us during this process.
