A Notice of Deficiency signals that the IRS believes there are discrepancies in your tax return, leading to a proposed increase in taxes owed. To dispute the IRS findings, you must petition the Tax Court within 90-days from receiving the notice.
At Sage Law Firm, our experienced attorneys specialize in representing clients before the United States Tax Court and negotiating favorable pre-trial settlements with the Office of Appeals. We offer comprehensive services when it comes to Notices of Deficiency and Tax Court petitions, tailoring our services to meet our clients’ specific needs and objectives.
