What Is the IRS Collection Appeals Program?
A tax collection appeal is a formal procedure that allows you to challenge an unfavorable tax decision and seek a reversal or reduction of the taxes, penalties and interest imposed on you. At Global Gate, we understand that the process can be confusing and overwhelming, so we take the time to ensure that our clients understand all of their options in the most convenient manner possible.
What Our Tax Experts in Irvine Can Do
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) permits appeals of several different matters, including penalties assessed for late or non-filing of taxes, overpayment of taxes or collection of taxes. We can help our clients in the appeal process as they challenge IRS decisions in federal court or through the IRS Collection Appeal Program (CAP).
At Global Gate, we understand the complexities of the tax codes and we know that taxes can be a difficult burden on your finances. Our attorneys will work with you to resolve any tax issues that you may have and explore all possible avenues to reduce or eliminate tax debt.
How Tax Collection Appeals Work
Tax collection appeals (TCA) are utilized in a situation where a taxpayer is faced with tax collection and wants to challenge the amount of tax owed. With this appeal, your debt with the IRS can be settled without visiting the four walls of a tax court. The IRS Appeals Division is solely responsible for these processes. Once your case gets accepted for appeal, it will be forwarded to an appeal officer who is expected to reach a decision within one to five days, which may favor you, and it may also be the direct opposite.
The process for filing a TCA begins with submitting a request for appeal with the IRS. It is recommended that the taxpayer include the amount in dispute, a letter of explanation, relevant forms, documents, and other necessary materials. An appeals officer will review the taxpayer’s request and if necessary, the appeals officer may request a conference with the taxpayer to gather more information, negotiate a settlement, or discuss an installment agreement.
After the appeals process is complete, the appeals officer will decide on the matter. If the taxpayer is dissatisfied with the results, they can always file a formal complaint with the IRS by submitting a Taxpayer Assistance Order (TAO). This TAO will be sent to the IRS appeals division and if the results are still unfavorable, the taxpayer can then choose to take their case to the United States Tax Court for further review and consideration.

Collection Due Process
Another option available to taxpayers is to exercise their right to request a Collection Due Process (CDP). In this process, debtors get the chance to challenge the IRS seizure of their property or assets, or the filing of their returns, in full or partial payment of the owed taxes. You have the right to a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing if the IRS sends you either of the following notices:
- Notice of Intent to Levy
- Notice of Federal Tax Lien Filing
For example, a taxpayer may feel the IRS has improperly filed a lien, seized their assets, or are trying to collect unreasonably high taxes.
When a taxpayer files a Collection Due Process request with the IRS, there will be a collection due process hearing set up. An independent appeals officer will review the request and make a decision regarding the taxpayer’s objections. If the hearing results are not satisfactory, the taxpayer still has the right to escalate their case to a tax court.
Why You Should Work With a Tax Collection & Relief Expert
The appeals process has been known to be lengthy and, ultimately, may not end in an agreement, agreement, or resolution that is favorable to the taxpayer. Therefore, it is important to remain engaged with the IRS and to remain informed of the latest tax laws and regulations. Additionally, taxpayers should consult and collaborate with a tax professional or attorney knowledgeable in tax law and IRS-related procedures.
At Global Gate, our tax professionals are committed to helping clients navigate the often-confusing world of tax collection and relief. We understand that tax debt can be overwhelming, and we strive to provide personalized, timely, and strategic tax relief solutions to help our clients reach the best resolution for their financial situation.
