Hollinger Tax Resolution

You don't have to just accept whatever the IRS says.

One of the ten Taxpayer Bill of Rights is the right to challenge the IRS's position and be heard, and it's one of the most overlooked.

Here's what that actually means for you:

→ If the IRS flags a math or clerical error, you get 60 days to tell them you disagree (and submit records to back it up).

→ If they propose a tax adjustment you don't agree with, you can challenge it in U.S. Tax Court before paying, but you only have 90 days from the date of the notice to file your petition (150 days if you're outside the U.S.).

→ Before the IRS can levy your bank account, seize property, or file a federal tax lien, you're often entitled to a hearing with the Independent Office of Appeals first.

The hard part isn't the right, it's the deadline. These windows are short, and they don't reset.

If you've gotten a notice and you're not sure whether to fight it or how much time you have, don't sit on it.

Today’s Q2 estimated tax deadline, and if you’re staring at a number you can’t actually pay, read this before you panic.

Paying something still helps.
If you're short on an estimated payment, the IRS charges interest on the shortfall, currently 6% annually, compounding daily, and rising to 7% on July 1. A partial payment reduces both the amount it's charged on and how long it accrues.

Paying less is better than paying nothing. Pay what you can today. Then figure out the rest, the IRS has real options for people who are short, and none of them start with ignoring the bill.

The October 15 deadline is coming up, but waiting usually costs more, not less.
