What is My ‘Right to Challenge the IRS’s Position and Be Heard?’
This right, listed fourth on the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, is crucial to taxpayers who want to communicate their concerns with ease to the IRS. It is inevitable that there will be errors or miscommunication when it comes to such dealings. Unfortunately, the average taxpayer has little to no experience when it comes to communicating their woes. The IRS can also seem intimidating to some.
In response to official IRS actions or proposed actions, taxpayers have the right to object and provide supporting documentation. They also have the right to expect that the IRS will fairly and quickly review their timely objections and supporting materials, and they have the right to a response if the IRS disagrees with their position.
