OTHER TAX LITIGATION

Litigation in courts other than the Tax Court is sometimes necessary.

 Type of Dispute

Litigation of tax disputes arises in many different contexts. The federal district courts have jurisdiction over summons enforcement and tax refund proceedings, as well as all federal criminal tax litigation. The bankruptcy courts have the authority to resolve tax claims and can be used to discharge taxes or obtain deferred payments. The California Superior Courts have jurisdiction over state tax refund cases. While litigation in these forums does not occur in most tax cases, it is important to have a law firm that has experience in all forms of tax litigation in case the need arises.
