Comprehensive Assistance On Your Tax Appeals
Facing a tax issue can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to handle it alone. Whether you are dealing with a property or an IRS tax appeal, we can help you gather the right documents, build a solid case and represent you before the Michigan Tax Tribunal or the IRS.
At Bendure & Thomas, we have helped clients in Bloomfield Hills and across Oakland County for over 45 years. Our attorney will work directly with you and handle your case from start to finish. We can help you with tax court representation, penalty reductions and administrative appeals.
Property Tax Appeal Deadlines In Michigan
Filing deadlines depend on your property type and location. For most homes, you start with the local Board of Review. If you own a commercial or industrial property, you usually have until May 31 to file with the Michigan Tax Tribunal. Missing the appeal deadline could stop you from challenging your tax assessment review for that year.
How A Tax Appeal Attorney Can Help You
A tax appeal attorney does more than check numbers. We can negotiate with IRS auditors and make strong arguments if your case goes to federal court. We can help with:
- Challenging fair market value assessments or tax assessments
- Seeking innocent spouse relief or penalty reductions
- Exploring an offer in compromise or other tax settlement options
- Preparing for a tax appeal hearing or tax court representation
- Handling IRS administrative appeals and negotiations
We strengthen your case by focusing on both the facts and the law to reduce your tax liability.
Documents Needed For A Tax Assessment Challenge
A strong appeal needs clear, organized documents. Common documents that could help your challenge include:
- Assessment notice and filing deadlines
- Appraisals or proof of property valuation
- Repair receipts and photos of your property
- Sales data from similar properties
- Tax returns and letters from the IRS
- Legal documents for an administrative appeal
- Records from past disputes or hearings
Getting the right evidence early can speed up your case and improve your chances of success.
