Law

Pauses the clock to ask for a tax refund while you fight an IRS bill, so you don’t lose your chance mid‑case
Applies only to the tax you are disputing; if you miss a key deadline or drop the case, the pause ends
Stops the IRS from using your new refund to pay the disputed bill unless you say yes during the dispute
Lets you challenge both the IRS collection move and the tax amount at lien or levy hearings and in Tax Court
Gives Tax Court power to allow late filings for good cause and keep your case even if the IRS backs off later
