7 Rights All Taxpayers Have
While Under
IRS Tax Debt Collection
By
Roni Deutch
1. Representation First and foremost,
you have the right to represent
yourself before the IRS to dispute
any unpaid taxes or additional fees.
Alternatively, you have the right
to seek help from a professional
to represent you before the IRS.
However, the person must be a person
allowed to practice before the IRS,
such as a tax attorney, certified
public accountant, or IRS enrolled
agent.
2. Protection of Rights According
to the IRS' code, all employees
must explain and protect your rights
throughout all contacts and negotiations.
3. Confidentiality The IRS is
not allowed to disclose information
given to the IRS to anyone, except
as authorized by law. Additionally,
you have the right to know how the
information will be used, and what
happens if the requested information
is not provided.
4. Records of Contacts Although
the IRS is allowed to contact third
parties about your IRS debt without
your consent, you do have the right
to request a list of all the people
contacted.
5. Meeting Companion Taxpayers
also have the right to have someone
accompany them during interviews
with IRS representatives. You can
even make audio recordings of any
meetings for your records.
6. Good Faith If you can show
that you acted reasonably and in
good faith and/or relied on bad
advice from an IRS representative,
you have the right to request all
that all penalties assessed by the
IRS be waived.
7. IRS Appeals Office If you
disagree with the IRS on the amount
of the tax liability or collection
actions taken by the IRS, you even
have the right to ask a court or
the IRS Appeals Office to review
the case.
