Are you overwhelmed by a state or IRS tax audit?
We initially analyze each taxpayer’s situation and develop strategic responses and solutions with the seminal goal to resolve your case at the earliest possible administrative avenue while securing the most favorable outcome.
Problem 1: Audit Defense, Administrative Appeal, and Litigation
When individuals and businesses are faced with an IRS or state tax audit they feel a level of anxiety or become overwhelmed with the process. Even a small oversight in an audit can cost you dearly in the form of lost appeal rights, lost rights to a refund, higher taxes and penalties, and potential levy. We are not just your advocate and confidante, but your advisor to see you through the complex administrative and legal process of tax controversy defense.
Problem 2: Personal Responsibility (“Trust Fund”) for Failure to Pay Employment Taxes
Any person responsible for withholding, depositing, or remitting payroll taxes to the IRS or state can be held personally liable for failure to remit. If you are contacted and asked to be interviewed for potential responsibility, you should never attend such an interview without representation. In such an interview, the taxing authority may be seeking additional evidence to assert civil or criminal fraud.
Problem 3: International Tax Compliance (FBAR, FACTA & PFIC Compliance)
Our international tax practice derives its strength from our attorneys’ experiences in working for foreign individuals and multinational companies. We are regularly called upon to interpret and apply tax treaties to structure cross border investments, transactions, and client operations.
