Tax Controversy and Litigation

Basswood represents companies and individuals at every level of resolving disputes with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Our team is dedicated to guiding you through every step of the process, whether it is meeting with examiners, responding to information document requests (IDR), pursuing tax appeals, or representing you in tax litigation if necessary.

Our team brings years of experience in dealing with the IRS, combining technical knowledge with a commitment to achieving favorable outcomes for our clients. From carefully advising you on IDRs to representing you before the IRS Office of Appeals, we are here to ensure that your rights are protected, and your interests are advocated for.

Appeals proceedings are often a more efficient and less disruptive alternative to tax litigation. Our focus on assembling compelling evidence that would win in trial is the key to obtaining concessions and strong settlements. Our written protests, and the legal research behind them, have persuaded Appeals officers to concede the IRS’ position in our client’s favor. Throughout the process, we prioritize open communication and collaboration, ensuring that you are fully informed and involved every step of the way.

We are committed to helping you navigate even the most complex tax matters with confidence and clarity.
