Tax Appeals
Brevard County Tax Appeal Attorney
Helping You Petition the IRS
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) established an independent organization called the Office of Appeals to resolve tax disputes and keep them out of court. While the objective of the Office of Appeals is admirable, it does not mean you don’t need a lawyer to help you settle your dispute with the IRS. The experienced Brevard County tax appeal lawyers at Buchalter & Pelphrey Attorneys At Law are skilled advocates who will work hard to obtain a favorable outcome for you.

The Process of Appeal in Brevard County
If you disagree with the findings of the IRS, the Taxpayer Bill of Rights affords you the right to appeal their decision. You may request an Appeals Conference with the Office of Appeals. During this conference, the Office of Appeals aims to be objective and tries to propose a solution that is good for both the taxpayer and the government. Taxpayers, however, are largely unaware of the intricacies of ever-changing tax law. It is crucial for you to bring representation to this conference. To do so, you must complete a Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative (Form 2848) beforehand.
Additionally, you must file a formal written protest or – if the amount of additional tax and penalty proposed is less than $25,000 – a small case request. With over 50 years of combined experience, the Brevard County tax appeal attorneys at Buchalter & Pelphrey can prepare these documents with ease and accuracy.
Don’t Take On the IRS Alone
When facing a government entity as relentless as the IRS, you need an aggressive tax law attorney who will fight for your rights. The Office of Appeals may make you believe that you do not need legal representation at your Appeals Conference, but the stakes are often too high for you to risk not having trusted legal help.
