(Don’t just say four names. Please include some information about four courts)

Answer 1

Solution:-

Describe the Four courts which hear tax cases:-

1. U.S. Tax Court. This court hears the majority of federal tax controversies. This court does not require the taxpayer to pay off the taxes allegedly owed before litigating.

2. U.S. District Court. To get into standard federal court, the taxpayer must first have tried all administrative remedies and pay the disputed tax bill. The taxpayer then may sue to get the money back. This court allows for a jury trial, which could favor the taxpayer in some cases.

3. U.S. Bankruptcy Court. As readers may have guessed, Bankruptcy Court comes into play if the taxpayer has filed for Chapter 7, 11 or 13 bankruptcy. The court can decide whether tax assessments and liens imposed by the IRS are valid, and whether to discharge tax liabilities.

4. U.S. Court of Federal Claims. This Washington, D.C.-based court is another possible venue. As with U.S. District Court, the taxpayer must pay the disputed bill before entering into litigation.
