United States Tax Court Decision for the Week – You be the Judge

United States Tax Court Sustains Lien and Levy to Collect Company’s Unpaid Employment Taxes

The United States Tax Court held that the IRS Appeals Office did not abuse its discretion by sustaining the filing of a notice of federal tax lien and a proposed levy against a company for unpaid employment taxes, finding that the company wasn’t entitled to challenge the underlying tax liabilities because it had a prior opportunity to do so.

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