The IRS’s Taxpayer Bill of Rights includes 10 fundamental rights taxpayers are entitled to when interacting with federal tax authorities. It’s written to help make the existing rights in the tax code clear, understandable and accessible. One of these is the “right to challenge the IRS’s position and be heard.” In a nutshell, this allows taxpayers to raise objections to any formal IRS action and provide additional documentation to support them. This right also provides taxpayers with the expectation that the IRS will promptly and fairly consider their timely objections and documentation and respond if it doesn’t agree with their position.
