With the IRS, procedure can mean millions
n tax matters, procedure is important. The IRS has many rules about notices, deadlines, refunds, audits and disputes. And no matter how right you are, if you don’t follow the procedures, you may be out of luck. As just one example, if you don’t file a refund claim in time (generally within three years), you can’t get your money back, even if it is clear you overpaid.
