Why Fighting the IRS in Court Rarely Pays Off
At first blush, taking the IRS to court sounds heroic, like a modern-day David v. Goliath fairytale. Unfortunately, in the real world, squaring off against the Federal Government usually ends with you being crushed like a grape. Ironically, winning in court is equally risky, inasmuch as the IRS may retaliate against you for years to come.
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.
Increased Scrutiny
The IRS aggressively investigates tax litigants. Forensic Accountants and Special Investigators examine tax returns, bank records, investments, credit card statements, business transactions, mortgage and tuition payments, vehicle and boat registrations, and anything else they can find. *If they discover underreported income, or evidence of intentional wrongdoing, you could be criminally prosecuted. Consequences include prison, penalties and restitution.
Unwanted Attention
Court cases are public record, which means anyone can look up the details of your tax case and immediately know your business.
A Smarter Solution
The appeal of negotiated settlements for business owners, professionals, and public figures lies in their confidentiality, reduced confrontation, and guaranteed resolutions, keeping matters private, avoiding uncertain court decisions, and unpleasant consequences.
