IRS Appeals Court
I had filed an appeal in the IRS Tax Court that I no longer needed to pursue. I had searched the internet over and over trying to find out what the process was for closing my appeal. I couldn't find a clear answer. Attorney Thomas Hansen quickly and precisely answered my question and helped ease my worries. I now know what the process is, and I can move forward with confidence to resolve this issue. I greatly appreciate his expertise and help!
