Appeals Conference

Appeals Conference

An Appeals Conference is a meeting between a taxpayer and representatives from a tax authority, such as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or a state tax agency, to discuss and resolve disputes regarding tax assessments or rulings.

During the conference, the taxpayer can present their case, provide additional evidence or documentation, and seek to persuade the tax authority to reconsider its position. The goal is to reach an amicable resolution without further escalation to formal appeals or litigation. The conference may result in the tax authority agreeing to modify the assessment, uphold the original decision, or propose a settlement.
