IRS

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the courts that hear its cases prescribe their own appraisal practices and procedures. While the appraisal theory behind IRS appraisals is mostly the same as any other appraisal, failure to comply with IRS specific procedures can result in the disqualification of an appraisal and a loss of essential support for a tax stance.
