What is an appeal?
When is it necessary?
How is it processed?

Sometimes the IRS may request some type of change, penalty or information requirement related to the federal obligations of your company. If it’s your case, and your company must resolve these types of situations, an appeal is necessary.

Additionally, in some cases an appeal must be processed in the state in order to resolve any situation regarding the sales tax return.

The appeal process changes depending on the situation of each company, for this reason, you should contact one of our experts to provide you an approximate cost.

In the following cases you will need to make an appeal:

  • If the IRS or the Department of Revenue of the State makes a change to your tax return that you don't agree with.
  • If the IRS or the Department of Revenue of the State is penalizing your company for evasion of taxes that were duly declared and paid.
  • If the IRS or the Department of Revenue of the State requests any requirements or additional information about your return.

The IRS has an impartial appeals office that is separate from other agency offices that investigate or audit tax returns, as well as the department of revenue of any State.

Making an appeal requires the preparation of a formal protest. It must be in writing and contain the information and statement of what is being requested.

At Prodezk we carry out the appeal process if your company requires it. Contact our advisors to get first-hand information.
