Tax Court Lawyer in Torrance, CA
We have personal experience, through the drafting of United States Tax Court decisions, during the time that Ms. Nelson clerked for the court. We are knowledgeable in the strategies of the IRS and know how to navigate you successfully through the pitfalls of a trial.Petitioning the United States Tax Court is your ultimate appeal of any IRS decision, or an IRS auditor ruling. Statistics show that citizens who use their right to appeal IRS decisions, along with their right to petition the United States Tax Court, win 60 to 90 percent of the time.Further, these statistics also show that by filing in this court, the taxpayer wins (i.e., pays less tax) and the IRS loses (i.e., recovers less tax). Specifically, they show that the IRS average recovery rate in tax court is about 20 percent of the amount that the auditing agent initially determined to be due, when the contested issues were eventually resolved in tax court. Thus, to contest the IRS auditor agent’s findings of your tax return, you should hire an experienced tax attorney to expertly guide you through the IRS audit, appeals and United States Tax Court process.Statistics also show that, usually, when a United States Tax Court petition is filed, the case is finalized through the IRS appeals process within the court proceeding.
