Tax Controversy
Tax controversy, as the name implies, arises when the taxpayer is audited and the IRS claims a deficiency. Few things are as scary or as distracting to a business owner or investor as an audit. The job of the attorney is to address these concerns. Fear stems from the unknown and the perceived power of the IRS. Thus, the first thing we will do is explain to you the audit process and your rights as a taxpayer in that process. The element of distraction is self-evident in an audit. We address this concern by assuming your defense and representing you in your dispute with the IRS. In many cases, you will never have to personally deal with the IRS.
Throughout the tax controversy process, our goal is to resolve the problem and get you back to your normal course of business as quickly as possible and on the best terms possible. We are able to do this through informed and aggressive representation and by taking advantage of the IRS’s offer and compromise and appeals programs which may allow you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount allegedly owed.
