The IRS regularly rejects or terminates IAs. If this happens when a taxpayer has no Collection Due Process appeal rights, options for challenging the decision are limited. This course gives you the tools needed to launch a successful and effective CAP appeal. Given the number of installment agreements that are arbitrarily rejected/terminated, this course is critical for all tax practitioners. 

Full analysis of the statutory authority for Collection Appeal Program (CAP) appeals that involve rejected or terminated installment agreements (IA). Mr. Daniel explain the recent Internal Revenue Manual (IRM) changes that address the authority of the Appeals Office in CAP appeals addressing rejected or terminated installment agreements. Attendees will understand the full statutory background for IA appeals, and how to deal with the Independent Office of Appeals in carrying out a CAP appeal that involves a rejected or terminated IA. This includes understanding the burden of proof and how to carry it out. 

Learning Objectives:

  • The history and purpose of the CAP program
  • The statutory background on IA appeals
  • What the specific rights are of taxpayers in IA appeals
  • How the Appeals office historically handled IA appeals and why they deprived taxpayers of their statutory right to appeal
  • The difference between a CAP appeal and a Collection Due Process Appeal
  • How the IRM changed the manner in which Appeals is required to address IA appeals
  • Understanding the burden of proof in IA appeals
  • Examination of recently successful IA appeals using the new IRM provisions.
