The goal is to resolve tax disputes outside of the courtroom in a way that is fair and impartial and encourages voluntary compliance with tax law. Here's what to expect after requesting an appeal of a tax matter When Appeals officers review cases submitted by taxpayers, they meet with taxpayers informally and consider their position and the IRS's position in a fair and unbiased manner.
