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

No IRS Abuse of Discretion in Denying Non-compliant Couple’s Installment Agreement

The United States Tax Court held that an IRS settlement officer didn’t abuse her discretion by rejecting a couple’s proposed installment agreement and sustaining a proposed levy action, finding that the couple failed to make sufficient estimated tax payments, was not in compliance with current tax obligations, and had a history of noncompliance.

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