Where this information comes from

All information on Docket.tax is sourced from DAWSON, the U.S. Tax Court's own public case system. Cases you track are re-checked throughout the court day, and new orders and opinions land the same day they are issued. We are an independent company — not the court, not the IRS, and not a law firm. We don't file anything on your behalf; you (or your attorney) still file and manage the case through DAWSON. Docket.tax simply helps you understand and monitor it.

Questions

Clear answers, no fine print.

Is this an official Tax Court website?
No. Docket.tax is independent and not affiliated with the U.S. Tax Court. We help you monitor and understand your case, but we are a separate company.
New to Tax Court — what is a notice of deficiency, or “90-day letter”?
A notice of deficiency — often called the “90-day letter” — is the IRS letter that gives you the right to petition the U.S. Tax Court, usually within 90 days, to dispute proposed tax before paying it. For a plain-English walkthrough of the petition, small tax cases, representing yourself (pro se), and the kinds of Tax Court opinions and orders, see our Tax Court Basics guide.
Do I still need to file through DAWSON?
Yes. Docket.tax tracks and shows your case milestones; it doesn't replace official filing. You (or your attorney) continue to file and manage the case through DAWSON, the court's own system.
I already have an attorney — is this still useful?
Yes. Plenty of represented petitioners still want to follow their own case. Docket.tax gives you your own insight into every filing and milestone, so you can stay informed alongside your attorney.
Is this legal advice?
No. Docket.tax is a research and monitoring tool, not a substitute for a lawyer. It lists the dates the Court’s orders set, but it doesn’t tell you what to do about your case, and the list may not be complete, so always read the orders themselves.
How much does it cost?
The Basic plan starts at $19/month, with a free 14-day trial and no credit card required to start.
