U.S. Tax Court Litigation
When a dispute with the IRS cannot be resolved, it is most often decided in the U.S. Tax Court. Stone Tax Counsel tries cases there for individuals, businesses, and partnerships, and prepares each one for trial from the outset.
Matters We Handle
Business and individual income tax disputes, including disallowed deductions, credits, and losses
Estate and gift tax disputes
Partnership cases under the centralized partnership audit rules
Penalty disputes, including accuracy, valuation, and civil fraud penalties
Valuation disputes involving real property, business interests, and charitable contributions
Cases arising from IRS enforcement campaigns
Our Approach
Cases are prepared from the beginning as if they will be tried. That means building the factual record early and narrowing the dispute to the issues that matter. Preparation for trial is also what puts a case in the best position to resolve before trial.
Experience
William A. Stone III served as a law clerk at the U.S. Tax Court and has first-chair trial experience. He writes regularly for Tax Notes on Tax Court procedure, valuation, and penalties.
