Tax Controversy and Litigation
Basswood represents companies and individuals in resolving disputes with the IRS. We guide you through each step—meeting with examiners, responding to IDRs, pursuing appeals, or litigating when 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.
