If you have the opportunity to file a tax court petition or a Phoenix IRS offer in compromise\u2014always file the tax court petition.\u00a0 An offer will take a long time to process and it is doubtful that you will know the amount of the offer that will ultimately be acceptable to the IRS.\u00a0 The filing period for a tax court petition is only 90 days.\u00a0 You will not know the results of an offer before the deadline on the tax court petition will lapse.\u00a0 If you are working with a competent representative you should know what you will be expected to pay on your tax court petition.\u00a0 Also, you should never or almost never expect to go to tax court.\u00a0 Your advisor should get your case assigned locally to the Appeals Office at the IRS.\u00a0 This is one area that you should most definitely consult with a representative to know your options under both situations before getting started.<\/p>\n
