Taxpayer Rights



 Tax season is approaching, be aware you have rights if it comes a problem when paying your personal or business tax:
The Tax Payer Bill of Rights 10 crucial points:




Examination


The IRS accepts most returns as filed but if your return is audited, you have rights. If the IRS proposes additional tax and you don’t agree that you owe it, you have the right to challenge that decision.



  • Publication 556: Examination of Returns, Appeal Rights, and Claims for Refunds

Collection
 

If the IRS moves to collect overdue tax from you, you have rights. If you owe tax but can’t pay in full, you may be able to pay in installments or appeal the collection action.



  • Publication 5107: The IRS Collection Process: Your Rights and Responsibilities





Appeals


You have the right to appeal many actions the IRS taken in examination and collection.

    Consumer Alerts on Tax Scams

    ‪Note that the IRS will never:
    • Call to demand immediate payment using a specific payment method such as a prepaid debit card, gift card or wire transfer. Generally, the IRS will first mail you a bill if you owe any taxes.
    • Threaten to immediately bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying.
    • Demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe.
    • Ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone.
    For more information on tax scams, please see Tax Scams/Consumer Alerts. For more information on phishing scams, please see Suspicious emails and Identity Theft.

    Is it Really the IRS Calling?

    The IRS wants you to understand how and when we contact taxpayers and help you determine whether a contact you may have received is truly from an IRS employee.
    The IRS initiates most contacts through regular mail delivered by the United States Postal Service.
    However, there are special circumstances in which the IRS will call or come to a home or business, such as when a taxpayer has an overdue tax bill, to secure a delinquent tax return or a delinquent employment tax payment, or to tour a business as part of an audit or during criminal investigations.
