Our
Services
IRS AND STATE CONTROVERSY
Representing clients before federal and state tax authorities to resolve disputes has become the mainstay of our successful firm. While serving thousands of clients for over three decades, we have developed essential working relationships with representatives from the IRS and State Tax Departments who have the authority to make decisions and ultimately settle cases for our clients.
IRS AND STATE AUDITS
Although only about one percent of tax returns are audited by the Internal Revenue Service, receiving an audit notice or any letter about taxes can be a frightening experience for even the most financially savvy individual. We deal directly with the IRS and state tax agencies on your behalf. The most important advice we offer is to never ignore an audit notice from the IRS or State Tax Agency.
INSTALLMENT AGREEMENT
Many people who find themselves with a tax liability they cannot afford to pay aren't sure what to do. The IRS may assess penalties to taxpayers for failing to file a tax return and for failing to pay taxes they owe by the deadline. We can assist you in submitting an Installment Agreement, wherein you make make manageable monthly payments to the IRS over a period of time to pay off your tax obligation and avoid further penalities and interest.
OFFER IN COMPROMISE
An Offer in Compromise is a resolution made between a taxpayer and the IRS wherein the agency agrees to accept payment of only a percentage of the debt owed in order to settle the case. This situation occurs most frequently when it is unlikely that the taxpayer will ever be capable of paying off the entire liability, or when there is question about the validity of the amount owed.
IRS LEVIES AND LIENS
When a taxpayer fails to pay back taxes, the IRS may issue a Notice of Federal Tax Lien or a Notice of Intent to Levy against the taxpayer's property (car, home, bank account, cash value of life insurance policy, etc.). If one of these notices is received, we can uncover opportunities to have the lien or levy released, and negotiate on your behalf to have IRS representatives reevaluate the situation.
FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNT REPORTING (FBAR)
Federal law requires U.S. taxpayers to annually file a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) if they own or are signatories to foreign financial accounts with a collective total value exceeding $10,000. Federal law has extablished severe penalties for failure to file an FBAR. Our Firm can assist you in resolving any outstanding FBAR issues as well as minimize penalties.
