How Our Tax Law Attorneys Can Help
Legal Advisement
Our experienced taxation attorneys can provide crucial legal advice on the possible tax consequences of business structures and operations. From the stages of business formation to developing tax strategies for ongoing business operations and even offering guidance on business mergers and acquisitions, our attorneys provide crucial legal advice on a range of tax-related matters.
Tax Exemption
Nonprofit organizations often face similar legal issues to for-profit organizations, complicated by special tax rules and government regulations. The nonprofit law field is heavily tax-oriented, and tax law is continually changing. Our taxation lawyers keep up with tax developments and monitor tax legislation to help nonprofit organizations navigate the complicated legal process of applying for tax-exempt status.
Lien Assistance
Tax liens are imposed upon a property to secure payment of taxes. When the IRS imposes a tax lien, it shows up on credit reports and can limit the sale of assets. Worse yet, if you don’t pay the entire assessed tax amount after receiving notice and demand, an IRS lien will automatically attach to all of your property. A tax lawyer with our firm can help defend against tax liens. Contact us today to learn more.
Preparation Of Tax Returns
Non-filing of tax returns is a federal crime that can result in imprisonment and significant fines. Our experienced tax attorneys can help prepare business, fiduciary, and personal tax returns. In addition, we can help ensure everything is filed correctly and ensure the maximum on your return.
Representation In Tax Court
In some cases, resolving a tax dispute may require litigation. If a tax dispute ends up before the US Tax Court, we can represent your business interests. Whatever your dispute entails, from IRS audits, tax refunds, tax collection, to wage garnishment, and more — our litigation attorneys can help you obtain a favorable courtroom resolution.
