    What we do

    Notice and petition dates

    A deficiency case can allow a taxpayer to challenge proposed tax in Tax Court without first paying it. • Review IRC § 6213 and the particular Notice of Deficiency with admitted counsel. • The usual petition period is 90 days. • A 150-day period applies when the notice is addressed to a person outside the United States. • Review the last date stated on the notice if it is later. • Counsel evaluates Form 2, the petition form, and the applicable Tax Court Rules. You receive an organized notice and record file for counsel's deadline review.

    Case preparation and financial support

    We provide accounting and tax-record support for a disputed deficiency within the written engagement. • Organize the return, notices and supporting transaction records. • Identify the factual or tax-treatment issues for counsel. • Prepare the agreed calculations and reconciliations. • Support review of the IRS answer and any proposed agreement. • Distinguish pre-trial discussions from a guaranteed settlement or court decision. You receive the agreed evidence schedules and financial analysis for admitted counsel.

    Small tax case procedure

    IRC § 7463 provides a small-case procedure for qualifying disputes with amounts within the applicable limit. • Review whether the disputed amount falls within the $50,000-per-year limit with admitted counsel. • Discuss the less formal procedure and evidentiary requirements. • Understand that a small-case decision generally cannot be appealed. • Review the $60 court filing fee separately from professional fees. • Compare the court route with an administrative appeal or collection alternative. You receive the financial records and questions needed for counsel's procedure review.

    What is included

    The engagement defines our non-admitted case-support role; the IRS decides administrative requests and the court decides litigated issues. • Review the relevant tax and financial records. • Prepare the agreed calculations and evidence schedules. • Coordinate record delivery with Tax Court-admitted counsel. • Keep court representation and filing responsibility with admitted counsel. You receive the written scope and agreed case-support records.
