Internal Revenue Bulletin 2006-1 · 2026-10-03 edition · updated 2026-10-04 · United States

TAXPAYER APPEAL AN EP OR EO MANAGER’S OR AN APPEALS AREA DIRECTOR’S DECISION NOT TO SEEK TECHNICAL ADVICE?

Taxpayer notified of decision not to seek a TAM or a TEAM

Taxpayer may request review of decision not to seek a TAM or a TEAM

EP or EO Examinations Area manager or EP or EO Determinations manager or Appeals Area Director, Area 4, determines whether technical advice will be sought

.01 If the EP or EO specialist’s or the appeal’s referral of an issue to EP or EO Technical for a TAM or a TEAM does not warrant referral, the EP or EO specialist or the appeals office will tell the taxpayer. A taxpayer’s request for such a referral will not be denied merely because EP or EO Technical provided legal advice, other than advice furnished pursuant to this revenue procedure, to the EP or EO Examinations or EP or EO Determinations or appeals office on the matter.

.02 The taxpayer may request review of the decision of the EP or EO specialist or the appeals office not to request a TAM or a TEAM in all instances. To do so, the taxpayer must submit to that specialist or office, within 10 calendar days after being told of the decision, a written statement of the facts, law, and arguments on the issue and the reasons why the taxpayer believes the matter should be referred to EP or EO Technical for a TAM or a TEAM. A taxpayer who needs more than 10 calendar days must justify in writing the request for an extension of time. The extension is subject to the approval of the EP or EO Examinations Area manager or EP or EO Determinations manager or the appropriate appeals office.

.03 The EP or EO specialist or the appeals office submits the taxpayer’s statement through proper channels to the EP or EO Examinations Area manager or the EP or EO Determinations manager or the Appeals Area Director, Area 4, along with the EP or EO specialist’s or the appeals office’s statement of why the issue should not be referred to EP or EO Technical. The manager or chief determines, on the basis of the statements, whether a TAM or a TEAM will be requested.
