Tax Appeals: Reasoning with the IRS
If the result of an IRS audit is additional income tax owed (often with penalties and interest), the taxpayer can request a hearing with the IRS Appeals Office. A senior administrator reviews the auditor's findings.
Arthur Boelter has had substantial success in IRS appeals. He has helped clients avoid thousands of dollars — even hundreds of thousands — in tax assessments by presenting a viable defense of his client's tax returns. He has also helped head off criminal prosecutions by casting doubt on IRS assertions of intentional evasion.
Tax Litigation: Battling the IRS
Tax disputes not solved at the administrative level can be appealed to U.S. Tax Court (or U.S. District Court). Before private practice, Arthur H. Boelter was a trial lawyer for the IRS Chief Counsel in Manhattan. With his IRS insights and 28 years of tax litigation experience on behalf of taxpayers, he can capably represent clients in these hard-fought proceedings.
Trials are expensive. We work hard to poke holes in the prosecution's arguments to get the IRS or U.S. Attorney to drop its case, or to gain leverage for a favorable negotiated outcome. When a tax trial cannot be avoided, Arthur H. Boelter has successfully invoked the statute of limitations, innocent spouse relief and other proven defense strategies to save clients thousands and in some cases millions of dollars.
