What Really Happens When You Litigate against the IRS?
At first blush, the idea of dragging the IRS into Court sounds thrilling, like a modern-day David v. Goliath fairytale. Unfortunately, reality is considerably less romantic. In the real world, taking the IRS to Court usually ends with you being crushed like a grape.
The Winner’s Curse
The IRS can be extremely vindictive, and winning tax litigants are frequently rewarded with audits, penalties, surveillance and harassment. FYI, losing tax litigants receive the same treatment plus court costs.
Serious Trouble
The IRS investigates tax litigants (thoroughly). Leave no stone unturned, is their unofficial motto. A team of Forensic Accountants and Special Investigators will examine your tax returns, bank records, investments, credit cards, business transactions, mortgage and tuition payments, vehicle and boat registrations, and anything else they can lay their hands on. Searching for evidence, intentional wrongdoing, underreported income and falsified records. As Lavrentiy Beria (Joseph Stalin’s evil henchman) liked to say: “show me the man and I’ll show you the crime”. If the IRS discovers fraud or deliberate misrepresentation, you could be criminally prosecuted. Potential consequences include penalties, fines, and a lengthy stay in the Big House.
Everyone will Know
Court cases are public record. That means anyone can see the details of your tax case and immediately know your business. Additionally, litigation can permanently ruin your relationship with the IRS. In other words, the juice is seldom worth the squeeze.
