If you received a Notice of Deficiency, the clock is running. You generally have 90 days to file a petition with the United States Tax Court. Miss that deadline, and the IRS can assess the tax and begin collection.
A Notice of Deficiency is not a bill; it is your opportunity to challenge the IRS before you are required to pay.

Tax Court representation includes
- Reviewing the IRS examination file and supporting evidence
- Identifying legal and factual weaknesses in the deficiency determination
- Filing the Tax Court petition within the required deadline
- Negotiating with IRS Counsel to resolve the case when appropriate
- Preparing the case for trial if settlement is not in your best interest
Do not ignore the deadline
If you received a Notice of Deficiency, do not ignore it. The deadline is strict. The right response can preserve your rights and change the outcome.
