United States Tax Court Upholds Lien, Levy Actions Against Tax Scheme Promoter, and Finds No IRS Abuse of Discretion

The  United States Tax Court found no IRS Abuse of Discretion by an Appeals Settlement Officer and upheld IRS lien and levy actions against an individual who promoted and sold abusive tax schemes, finding that she wasn’t entitled to challenge the underlying liabilities because the individual didn’t participate in the collection proceedings or provide a collection alternative.

A recent Tax Court decision was reported that may be of interest to individuals potentially dealing with tax litigation. J.
