Our client had been paying alimony to his ex-wife and deducting those payments on his tax returns, fully in accordance with the Tax Code. However, the IRS inexplicably disallowed these legitimate deductions, even after he provided the necessary documentation to prove his case. They left him with a staggering tax bill with penalties and interest, forcing him to take the matter to Tax Court to obtain the rightful outcome.
Navigating Tax Court is difficult, and our client was effectively forced to hire counsel. But our team was determined to not only obtain the correct tax outcome, but to also right this wrong and get compensation for the client’s time and money spent defending himself. Dallo Law Group meticulously prepared the case and demonstrated clearly that the deductions were valid and lawful.
At the appeal, our persistence paid off. The IRS appeals officer and IRS attorney reviewed our evidence and arguments and ultimately agreed with our position. The IRS not only conceded that the alimony payments were indeed deductible, but also conceded that the IRS’s error had been so substantial that the client deserved an award for the attorney’s fees incurred during this ordeal. In this case, the IRS agreed to pay our client $12,632.50 in compensation.
This victory is a clear demonstration of our firm’s dedication to protecting our clients’ rights and ensuring that they receive fair treatment.
