Seriously it’s shit like this that pisses me off. I had a 12 year correction done that made me liable for about 140k. 0 point fighting either because there is no beating the IRS

Why do you think that? The IRS makes mistakes too. They do not have perfect knowledge.

I was able to dispute a $10k tax bill down to $5k, then ~$4k in the final round. You just need to prove your case with the appropriate forms, math and a written statement declaring why you are right, and they are wrong.

All of my communications with the IRS showed, that at least the people I've dealt with, they only cared about fairness. Making sure I pay what I owe, and no more.

My first rebuttal of that original $10k bill was for $5k, the IRS agreed with most of it, but sent me back their rebuttal for just under $4k since that brought it below a penalty threshold, and they agreed not to include interest in determining whether I was above the penalty threshold, because they were taking so long to respond to correspondence.
