FIGHTING THE IRS
You can beat IRS in court, but you can’t make the agency apologize to you. Although a taxpayer won a case that fully allowed his alimony deduction, the Service audited him two years later and nixed the deduction again. In Tax Court, IRS quickly conceded he owed no tax (Caldwell, TC Summ. Op. 2009-169). However, the Court said it had no power to grant his demand for a written apology from IRS.
