U.S. Tax Court Attorney in Massachusetts

f you received a Notice of Deficiency or IRS notice proposing additional tax, penalties, or adjustments, you may have a limited window to act. Tax court representation allows you to challenge the IRS before paying the disputed amount.

Tax Court filing deadlines are strict. In many deficiency cases, a petition generally must be filed within 90 days after the Notice of Deficiency is mailed. Different deadlines may apply in other types of Tax Court cases.

I work directly with individuals to evaluate their case, file petitions, and represent them throughout the Tax Court process.

Speak directly with an attorney about your case and deadlines today.

No obligation. Get clear information before your filing deadline passes.

  • Work directly with a tax attorney — not a call center
  • Focused on IRS disputes and Tax Court matters
  • Strategic approach to litigation and settlement

I provide tax court representation throughout Massachusetts, including Boston and Quincy.

Why Acting Quickly Is Critical

Missing the applicable Tax Court filing deadline can result in dismissal of your case and loss of the opportunity to challenge the IRS determination in Tax Court.  

This can force you to pay the tax first and pursue other, more limited options afterward.

What Is Tax Court?

The United States Tax Court is a federal court that allows taxpayers to dispute IRS determinations before paying the full amount.

Cases typically involve audits, penalties, or proposed deficiencies. Tax court representation ensures your position is properly presented through legal arguments, evidence, and procedural compliance.

When You Should Contact a Tax Court Attorney

  • You received a Notice of Deficiency and the deadline is approaching
  • Responding to a Notice of Deficiency
  • Challenging IRS audit results
  • Disputing penalties or adjustments
  • Cases involving complex tax or legal issues
  • Situations where IRS negotiations have not resolved the matter
 

Speak with an attorney before your filing deadline expires.

Why You Should Not Handle a Tax Court Case Alone

Tax Court cases involve strict procedural rules, evidentiary requirements, and legal arguments.

Errors in filing, missed deadlines, or incomplete submissions can affect the outcome of your case.

A structured legal approach helps ensure your rights are protected and your case is presented effectively.

  • Challenge IRS determinations without paying first
  • Protect your procedural rights
  • Present legal arguments effectively
