Income tax litigation is a formal legal process where taxpayers dispute a tax deficiency or penalty assessed by the IRS in a judicial forum. Unlike routine compliance, Income tax litigation requires navigating complex procedures across multiple venues, including administrative appeals within the IRS, the U.S. Tax Court, and federal district courts. When the IRS issues a notice of deficiency, taxpayers have a 90-day window to file a petition in the U.S. Tax Court to challenge the assessment without prior payment.
