Not all tax attorneys are litigators. In our exclusive service as Indiana tax attorneys, we can represent our clients who have disputes with the IRS or the state taxing authorities in court.
The U.S. Constitution provides taxpayers the right to litigate tax disputes with the federal or state taxing authorities in court. The federal government and the state of Indiana have a separate and distinct tax court system.

If you cannot resolve your case with the IRS, or if you disagree with decisions of the IRS or another taxing administration, you have to take the IRS to U.S. Tax Court.
The opportunity to argue a matter before a tax court is limited almost exclusively to attorneys. You likely cannot take the matter up with a judge if you have not hired an attorney to represent you.
Tax court representation and litigation is highly complicated for even the most skilled professionals. If you hire a company or law firm to resolve your tax issues, you should make certain that the company or law firm is licensed to represent you in Tax Court. Other than a few extraordinary exceptions, you must be an attorney to represent another taxpayer in tax court.

Our extensive knowledge of tax law allows us to foresee the tremendous impact tax court cases can have on our clients. Our tax litigation experience helps us identify the right course of action for each specific case and circumstance.
