When it seems like hope is gone against the Department, there is no choice left but to litigate the case.
Illinois Administrative Hearings (when the controversy is under $15,000) or Independent Tax Tribunal (for controversies of tax in excess of $15,000) give the taxpayer their day in administrative court against the Department. An experienced litigator, such as the principal of the Law Offices of Michael Raff, LLC, can ensure that your case is presented in the best light possible to the Department, and help you take necessary steps such as deposing the auditor who conducted your examination to reach a favorable outcome.
