tax hearing

IRS dispute session

A tax hearing is a formal proceeding where a taxpayer disputes a tax assessment, penalty, or other decision by a tax authority.

These hearings occur before a judge, administrative law officer, or review board, giving taxpayers the opportunity to present evidence and argue their case: We requested a tax hearing to challenge the audit findings.

The term also applies to legislative hearings where lawmakers examine proposed tax policies.
