I suspect that the lawyer is describing a fee to hold an adversary proceeding in the bankruptcy court to dispute the amount of money owed or its dischargeabilty.
Thanks for your reply.

Words of attorney were clear. "Sue the IRS"...so lawyer is planning on the IRS arguing that the debt is NOT dischargeable?

It makes no sense. Unless you have some legitimate tax dispute on what you owe (other than just inability to pay), such a lawsuit isn't going to do anything. Further, there's no "prophylactic" suing.
$1500 might cover a filing in tax court and a simple hearing, but a case in District Court is going to entail way more than that.
Thanks for your reply. There is no legit tax dispute.
