Get Help With Tax Matters
Taxes impact many areas of our life, including income tax, business taxes, estate planning, real estate, estate tax and probate, and tax planning. Taxpayers are expected to comply with all federal, state, and local tax laws, even when they can be so difficult to navigate.
When there is a problem with your taxes, your state tax agency or the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will want answers. If the tax agencies believe you are underreporting your income, making false loss claims, or taking improper deductions, they may try and enforce tax collection.
Tax matters can involve tax planning or transactional issues, so try and avoid any tax issues and make sure you comply with corporate tax laws. Tax matters can also include disputes over your tax liabilities. If the dispute is not resolved, the government may begin tax litigation in tax court to enforce tax laws or collect on tax debt.
Business Tax Issues
Taxes for business owners can be much more complicated than for people who just take home a paycheck. There are specific business law taxes that apply for income, property, assets, gains, and losses for a small business, corporation, or partnership. Experienced tax planning and tax services can save a business a lot of money while maximizing gains for shareholders.
Business tax issues can involve all areas of running the business, including:
- Employee compensation
- Benefits
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Tax accounting and deduction methods
- Depreciation
- Expensing
- Government tax credits
Personal Income Tax Questions
Every year, taxpayers must deal with filing their taxes before the deadline. Even using an online tax prep program to fill out your taxes can be confusing. It is easy to make a mistake and claim a deduction you don’t have or forget to include a 1099 that you never got in the mail.
Getting help before you file your taxes or when you are going through the process of filing can help you avoid tax penalties after the deadline. Some avoidable expenses can include penalties for late filing or failing to pay taxes. The IRS also includes interest in any unpaid balance that will continue to accumulate until your tax debt is paid off.
If you owe a lot in taxes, there are ways to manage your tax debt so that it doesn’t get out of control. If you have unmanageable tax debt, you may be able to negotiate a settlement with the IRS. A settlement can erase some of your tax debt if you comply with the repayment plan. The IRS can also help you set up a payment plan to pay off your debt over time without adding any additional penalties.
What if I Get a Tax Audit From the IRS?
A tax audit can be very intimidating. Even if you did nothing wrong, a tax audit can put you under a lot of pressure. Just because you got notice of an IRS audit does not necessarily mean you will owe money. In some cases, your taxes are just flagged because your tax return is not typical. Before a tax audit, make sure you have all available records that support your tax filing.
If you are concerned about a tax audit, you can have a tax attorney help. Your tax representative can help you prepare for your audit and deal with the IRS to clear up any issues and avoid unnecessary costs.
How Can a Tax Law Firm Help?
Tax law in the U.S. can be very complicated and the tax regulations are changing all the time, making it difficult to keep up. The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) can be difficult to understand, but an experienced tax professional can help. If you have tax questions, a tax law lawyer can explain your rights, help you understand your options, and represent you in tax court.
Tax problems with the IRS can get expensive. A tax lawyer can help you avoid additional fines, interest, penalties, tax liens and levies, and wage garnishment. Tax lawyers have years of experience in tax practice areas and can even negotiate to lower your tax bill or help you set up a payment plan to pay off your tax debt. You can set up an initial consultation to get more information.
If you are accused of tax fraud, you may be facing criminal charges. A tax crime defense attorney can provide legal advice and represent you in court to avoid jail time, penalties, or get the charges dismissed.
