IRS Office of Appeals

The IRS Office of Appeals is an independent division within the U.S. Internal Revenue Service that helps taxpayers resolve disputes over tax issues. When a taxpayer disagrees with an IRS decision, they can request a formal review by this office. Appeals team members review the case impartially, aiming to settle disagreements fairly without going to court. Their goal is to find a resolution that is consistent with tax laws while providing a neutral, efficient process for resolving issues without the need for legal action.
