Give you an idea how fucked up our tax system is
Your 1 st appeal will go to the agents supervisor
2nd will go to a regional administrative
3rd will go to the Irs tax court
4th appeal will finally go to a non Irs federal judge.
Figure 20000-40000 dollars for lawyer fees
You know what really sucks is your hard drive crashed and you have no records.
Best of luck to ya
