IRS Tax Disputes & Litigation

Victorium Legal represents individuals and businesses in Sacramento, Davis, Roseville, Elk Grove, and Folsom facing audits, proposed assessments, liens, or levies. We manage the IRS process, protect your rights, and move your case toward a realistic outcome.

Defense for audits, appeals, and Tax Court

From the first IRS letter to final resolution, our team handles communications, organizes records, and builds the legal position that best fits your facts. If you cannot pay, we evaluate offers in compromise and payment options. To prevent repeat issues, we coordinate long-term tax planning with your CPA and advisors so filings stay clean going forward. For business audits, we align strategy with your contracts, cash flow, and risk tolerance through our business law team.

Office, field, and correspondence audits

We respond to IRS notices, prepare submissions, and meet with the agent so you do not have to. Our approach is focused and precise: provide only what is requested, present documents in context, and address gray areas with clear legal support. For businesses in Midtown, Natomas, and West Sacramento, we coordinate records and procedures so day-to-day operations are not disrupted.

Independent IRS Appeals review

If you disagree with proposed changes, we draft a protest, frame the issues, and negotiate with Appeals to reduce or reverse assessments. Common disputes include unreported income, business expenses, penalties, and substantiation gaps. Many cases resolve here with a fair settlement and a clear path forward.

U.S. Tax Court and refund suits

When court is the smart path, we file a Tax Court petition within the deadline and manage discovery, motions, and trial. In select cases, we pursue refund litigation after payment in federal court. For California matters, we handle FTB or CDTFA disputes through the Office of Tax Appeals and state courts.

IRS dispute questions, answered

  • How do I fight an IRS audit assessment

    Request your exam file, correct factual errors, and supply organized proof that supports your return. If the agent will not change their position, you can go to Appeals for an independent review and, if needed, to Tax Court.

  • What is the IRS appeals process

    After a proposed assessment, you can submit a protest for Appeals. An Appeals Officer reviews hazards of litigation and can settle based on the strength of law and facts. Many cases end here with a reduced adjustment.

  • Do I need a lawyer for U.S. Tax Court

    Yes. Tax Court has formal rules, deadlines, and evidence standards. A tax trial attorney builds the record, argues motions, and presents your case while exploring settlement where it helps.

  • I cannot pay the balance. What are my options

    We evaluate offers in compromise, installment agreements, lien relief, and currently not collectible status. The right choice depends on income, assets, and household expenses.

  • How do I avoid future IRS problems

    Improve documentation and filing habits. We coordinate proactive tax planning with your CPA to align payroll, estimates, and deductions so your next return is accurate and low risk.
