Bankruptcy Court As a Tax Litigation Forum

 

Don't miss the opportunity to file a petition.

In order for a taxpayer outside of bankruptcy to be entitled to litigate a tax dispute with the IRS without first being required to pay the tax, the taxpayer must file a petition with the U.S. Tax Court within a 90 day window of opportunity after receiving a statutory notice of deficiency. This white paper reviews what happens if the taxpayer misses the filing window and discusses what merits the Bankruptcy Court rules on and who has the proof of the claim.
