How to Challenge the IRS in Pennsylvania Tax Court: A Legal Overview

Facing a tax dispute with the IRS can be an overwhelming experience. Many people find themselves feeling confused and anxious about their case, unsure of the steps they should take to resolve the matter. If you are reading this, it’s likely because you are facing a tax issue that has led you to consider challenging the IRS in Pennsylvania Tax Court. You are not alone, and we are here to help. At Gibson & Perkins, PC, we understand the stress that comes with such a situation, and we are committed to providing you with the support and guidance you need to achieve a successful result in your case.

Understanding Pennsylvania Tax Court

The Pennsylvania Tax Court is a special court that handles cases related to disputes over taxes. If you disagree with a decision made by the IRS, such as an audit finding or a tax assessment, you have the right to challenge it in this court. The process of challenging the IRS can be complex, but with the right legal guidance, it is possible to secure a favorable outcome.

The first step in the process is to file a petition with the tax court. This petition must be filed within a specific timeframe, usually 90 days from the date of the IRS’s decision. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to challenge the decision in court. This is one of the reasons why it is so important to act quickly if you are considering taking your case to the Pennsylvania Tax Court.

The Importance of Filing Your Case Correctly

Once you have decided to challenge the IRS, it is crucial that you file your case correctly. The Pennsylvania Tax Court has specific rules and procedures that must be followed in order for your case to be considered. Filing your case incorrectly or failing to provide the necessary documentation can lead to delays or even the dismissal of your case.

At Gibson & Perkins, PC, we can help you navigate these complex rules and ensure that your petition is filed correctly. Our team will work with you to gather the necessary information, including all relevant tax documents and records, and prepare your case for submission to the court. By doing so, we help reduce the risk of your case being delayed or dismissed due to filing errors.

Gathering the Right Evidence

One of the most important steps in challenging the IRS is gathering the right evidence to support your case. This may include tax returns, financial records, correspondence with the IRS, and any other documents that are relevant to your dispute. The more evidence you can provide, the stronger your case will be.

It is also important to understand that the burden of proof falls on you when challenging the IRS. This means that you must prove that the IRS’s decision was incorrect. If you are unable to provide sufficient evidence to support your claims, your case may not be successful. This is another reason why having a knowledgeable attorney by your side can make all the difference.

How the Pennsylvania Tax Court Handles Cases

Once your case is filed and all the necessary documentation is in place, the Pennsylvania Tax Court will review your case and schedule a hearing. During the hearing, both you and the IRS will have the opportunity to present your arguments and evidence. The court will then make a decision based on the facts presented.

It is important to note that tax court hearings are typically less formal than other court proceedings. However, this does not mean that you should approach your case lightly. It is still a legal proceeding, and it is essential that you present your case in a professional manner. Having an attorney who is experienced in Pennsylvania Tax Court can help you navigate the hearing process and ensure that your arguments are presented effectively.

The Role of an Attorney in Your Case

Challenging the IRS in tax court is not something that should be taken lightly. The rules and procedures are complex, and the stakes are high. Without the right legal representation, it can be difficult to navigate the process and present a strong case. That’s where we come in.

At Gibson & Perkins, PC, we understand the challenges you are facing. We are here to help you every step of the way, from filing your case to preparing your evidence and representing you in court. Our team is dedicated to working tirelessly on your behalf to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.

If you are facing a tax dispute and are considering challenging the IRS in Pennsylvania Tax Court, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We offer personalized legal services designed to meet your needs and ensure that your case is handled with the utmost care and attention. With our help, you can feel confident that you have the support you need to achieve a successful result.

The Benefits of Resolving Your Tax Dispute in Court

While the idea of going to court can seem intimidating, there are several benefits to challenging the IRS through the Pennsylvania Tax Court. First, the tax court is a neutral forum where both parties—the taxpayer and the IRS—present their evidence and arguments. This provides a fair opportunity for you to make your case, especially if you believe that the IRS has made a mistake. The court’s decision will be based solely on the facts and the law, ensuring that you have an impartial decision maker. Additionally, resolving your case in court can provide finality, allowing you to move forward without the ongoing stress of an unresolved tax issue.

The Potential Risks of Not Challenging the IRS

It’s also important to understand the risks of not challenging the IRS if you feel that the assessment or decision is incorrect. Ignoring an IRS dispute can lead to serious consequences, including penalties, interest, or even garnishments and liens. The IRS has significant power to collect the taxes they claim are owed, and failure to take action can result in long-term financial hardship. By working with an attorney to challenge the IRS, you can protect yourself from these consequences and work towards a resolution that is fair and just.

Why You Should Trust Us With Your Case

At Gibson & Perkins, PC, we know that dealing with tax issues can be incredibly stressful. Whether you are facing an audit, a tax lien, or a disagreement with the IRS over the amount of taxes owed, we understand the toll it can take on your peace of mind. That’s why we are committed to providing you with clear, straightforward advice and a strategy tailored to your specific situation.

We are here to guide you through every step of the process, from understanding your options to representing you in court. Our team is ready to help you navigate the complexities of the Pennsylvania Tax Court and ensure that your rights are protected.

If you are facing a tax dispute and need an experienced legal team to help you challenge the IRS in Pennsylvania Tax Court, we are here to assist you. Contact Gibson & Perkins, PC today to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward resolving your tax issues.

Capital Gains Tax Ruled Out

There were good reasons for ruling out Capital Gains Tax. Let’s have a look at some arguments for and against.

Whenever we look at improving our tax system it is predictable that capital gains tax will be raised as an option. It has been examined in 1967, 1978, 1982, 1987, 1988, 1989, 2001, and 2009, 2014 and by the recent Tax Working Group.

One reason we keep returning to capital gains tax is that the exemption for capital gains is the one, large, glaring exception to New Zealand’s “broad base” approach to taxation and, of course, expanding the tax base is necessary unless we are happy with increased indebtedness to foreign nations.

A big portion of the Tax Working Group’s final report is focused on the question of whether New Zealand should adopt a capital gains tax.

Some argue a capital gains tax on investment properties would be fairer and ease inter-generational tensions. A question often raised is whether it is fair to tax money earned from a bank deposit, but not from capital gains on an investment property.

At present, interest from term deposits is taxed, but the capital gain on the sale of an investment property is not. But should this differing treatment exist? In a policy report, ‘Benefits and Drawbacks of a Capital Gains Tax’ prepared in February 2014 for the then Minister of Revenue Todd McClay, Inland Revenue noted:

“There is no obvious reason why a person who derives $100,000 in interest income should be taxed differently to a person who derives $100,000 in capital gains.”

The argument that a “buck is a buck” and everyone should therefore bear the same tax burden on every dollar earned is attractive.

So, why are we reluctant to tax capital gains from investment property? I do not think it is about fairness.

Many commentators have come out against recommendations to impose a capital gains tax because they are all concerned it will have a crippling effect on businesses and farmers.

While capital gains taxes raise revenues for government they do so with considerable economic harm.

Capital gains taxes reduce the return that entrepreneurs and investors receive from the sale of their investments. This diminishes the reward for entrepreneurial risk-taking and reduces the number of entrepreneurs and the investors that support them. The result is lower levels of economic growth and job creation.

One of the most significant economic effects is the incentive it creates for owners of capital to retain their current investments even if more profitable and productive opportunities are available.

Economists refer to this result as the “lock-in” effect. Capital that is locked into sub-optimal investments and not reallocated to more profitable opportunities hinders economic output.

Also, we should not ignore the fact that one of the principles of good tax policy is that there should be no double taxation of income that is saved and invested. Such a policy promotes current consumption at the expense of future consumption, which is simply an econo-geek way of saying that it penalises capital formation.

Every economic theory agrees that capital formation is key to long-run growth and higher living standards. Even Marxist and socialist theories are based on this notion (they want government to be in charge of investing, so they want to do the right thing but in a very wrong way). Many economists believe that the economically optimal tax on capital gains is zero.

President Obama’s first chief economic adviser, Larry Summers, wrote in the American Economic Review in 1981 that the elimination of capital income taxation “would have very substantial economic effects” and “might raise steady-state output by as much as 18 percent, and consumption by 16 percent.”

Whatever else might be said either for or against it, the introduction of capital gains tax would entail significant change for lawyers, accountants, valuers, businesspeople and investors generally; and the transition period – from the government’s announcement of the tax until several years after its introduction – would be likely to be particularly challenging.

Introduction of capital gains tax in New Zealand would add huge complexity to what is currently one of the world’s simplest tax systems and would result in a massive industry – as happens elsewhere in the world.

Is Immigration NZ following International Law binding on New Zealand?

New Zealand’s current immigration stance on partnership-based visa appears to be at odds with International Law.

New Zealand immigration laws provide a framework for Immigration New Zealand to manage immigration in a way that balances our national interests with our international obligations. That is the scheme and purpose behind the Immigration Act 2009.

Under international human rights law, the family is recognized as the fundamental group unit of society and entitled to protection and assistance by Article 16(3) of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR); by Article 23(1) of the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) an by various Articles of the 1990 International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families (CMW) amongst other international conventions and treaties.

New Zealand has made a commitment to uphold the UDHR and ratified the ICCPR on 28 December 1978 without any reservation on Article 23(2).

The United Nations Human Rights Committee (UNHRC), established to monitor States’ implementation of ICCPR has clarified that: “[t]he right to found a family in Article 16(1) of UDHR implies, in principle, the possibility to … live together”.

Therefore, Immigration New Zealand’s current stance of not allowing overseas people (lawfully wedded wives and husbands, de facto partners, and young children) to visit and live with their families in New Zealand is arguably in breach of International human rights law that is binding on New Zealand.  

The involuntary separation of families by State intervention, which is devastating to the individuals involved and frequently destructive in its long-term impact on cultural groups and entire societies, is a widespread problem that deserves increased attention as an issue of international human rights law.

For anyone, it would seem cruel and inhuman to decline visitor visas for partners and young children of New Zealand citizens, residence class visa holders and work visa holders who are tirelessly contributing to New Zealand economy and the well-being of other New Zealanders. Some of them are New Zealand born citizens and they need their families to live with them in New Zealand. Immigration New Zealand cannot dictate who New Zealanders should marry – that is a breach of fundamental international human rights law binding on New Zealand. 

What message is New Zealand now sending out to the rest of the world while the government proclaims to be advocating universal human rights law both at home and abroad?
