Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

How long does the IRS have to answer a Tax Court petition?

(a) Time To Answer or Move: The Commissioner shall have 60 days from the date of service of the petition within which to file an answer, or 45 days from that date within which to move with respect to the petition.

Is petitioning the Tax Court worth it?

Filing a petition for your case to be heard in Tax Court in most cases postpones the necessity of payment for alleged taxes due. This allows you to have the matter more thoroughly addressed before you struggle to pay a tax bill which may well be in error.

How much does it cost to petition the Tax Court?

Filing fees are required to submit a petition. The Courts filing fee is $60 and may be paid online, by mail, or in person. The fee may be waived by filing an Application for Waiver of Filing Fee.

How long does the IRS have to respond to an appeal?

How Long Does The IRS Have To Respond To An Appeal? In general, the IRS has 30 days to respond to an appeal. However, a person will almost always receive a letter from the IRS within those 30 days that says that they need more time and will respond within an additional 60 to 90 days.

What happens after a Tax Court decision?

What happens after I finish my trial? The Judge may direct the filing of posttrial briefs or may permit the parties to make oral argument or file memoranda or statements of legal authority. A brief is a legal document in which a party presents proposed findings of fact and legal arguments.
