IRS claims you owe more taxes than what you disclosed

During an audit, you may dispute an IRS claim that you owe more taxes. But generally, you cannot do this as a way of fighting collection. You must first pay the tax and then file a claim for a refund.

If the disputed amount they say you owe is not substantial, you may not want to spend more money consulting with a tax expert. So make sure you get a fee estimate before you retain someone to review the IRS decision.
