Question

John was audited by the IRS and has received an assessment notice of $75,000. He believes he has an excellent but complex tax argument and does not have the money to pay the assessment. What is his best choice of court to successfully appeal the IRS’s determination? Question 12 options: U.S. Court of Federal Claims. U.S. Tax Court. U.S. Tax Court - Small Claims. U.S. District Court.

Answer 1

Answer:

U.S. Tax Court.

Explanation:

The U.S. tax court is a federal court that was established by the Congress to offer a judicial forum whereby an entity could challenge a tax deficiency that was determined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) prior to paying the disputed amount.

To the question, John would be eligible to present his case before the US tax court; he can in addition to that proceed to the us tax court with no payment of assessment before the hearing.
