Not every IRS dispute needs to become a lawsuit.

The IRS Post Appeals Mediation Program gives taxpayers and the IRS a meaningful opportunity to resolve difficult issues in a structured, professional forum before litigation becomes the next step.

Independent mediation matters because it brings neutrality, accountability, and focus to the discussion. A strong mediator helps both sides evaluate the facts, the law, and the hazards of litigation in a way that keeps the process productive and resolution-oriented.

I have recently participated in several IRS Post Appeals Mediations that reached settlement. In each case, the common thread was the same: when both sides come prepared, professional, and willing to engage seriously, mediation can work.

For taxpayers, PAM can help avoid the time, cost, and uncertainty of litigation. For the IRS, it supports efficient case resolution and sound tax administration. For everyone involved, it creates a forum where the actual strengths, weaknesses, and risks of the case can be addressed directly.

If you are involved in a tax controversy and need an independent mediator, EXFEDTax™ can help.

Important Notice: Beware of Tax Services Offering Refund Loans and Pay-By-Refund Options

During tax season, many tax services advertise “instant refund advances” or the ability to pay fees directly from your tax refund. While these options may seem convenient, they often come with hidden costs and potential risks.

What you may not be told:
1. Refund loans typically come with high fees and interest rates.

2. Pay-by-refund options may involve additional bank or processing fees.

3. These services do not expedite your actual refund; they only provide a loan against it

4. If the IRS changes the math or needs to match information, it could delay your refund—and leave you responsible for paying the loan back, potentially leaving you in debt.

5 Refund loans are not guaranteed and may be subject to IRS approval, meaning you might not receive the loan at all if there are delays or issues with your filing.

6. You could end up receiving a smaller refund than expected, and higher fees may apply if your refund is delayed.

7. Taking out these loans can impact your ability to plan effectively for future tax seasons and may leave you with increased financial stress.

At ExFed Tax, we prioritize transparency. We believe in clear pricing and honest service, ensuring you know exactly what you’re paying for—without any surprises.

If you’re considering these options, make sure to ask detailed questions and fully understand the fees involved. Your refund is your money, and it’s important to protect it.

If you’re snowed in, can’t work, and you’re staring at the ceiling like “guess I’ll just… exist,” here’s a better idea: use the downtime to get your tax stuff together and knock this off your list. Rain… or snow - IRS begins accepting most retuns Monday.

Grab these while you’re trapped indoors:
• W-2s / 1099s
• last year’s return
• mortgage interest + property tax info (if you bought/sold a home)
• daycare/college statements
• business income/expenses if you’re self-employed
• anything you’ve been shoving into the “I’ll deal with this later” pile

Then give ExFed Tax a shout. We’re former IRS pros who now work for you — and we don’t just prepare returns, we help with year-round planning and “does this mess up my taxes?” questions.

If you can scroll, you can file. 😅
