IRS TAX LAWYERS - IRS Tax Settlements

IRS Tax Settlement Options

Realizing that you have IRS debts can be devastating. The IRS heavily penalizes back taxes, and often the fines and penalties are more than the original debt. Facing the IRS to resolve a tax issue can be intimidating, but it is possible. You can approach the IRS for tax relief yourself, or through a tax attorney or agency.

When approaching the IRS for a tax reduction you should keep in mind that the process will not easy. The agency does not like to reduce debts; they believe that taxes and penalties are owed regardless. However, they do have set guidelines for reduction of debts and repayment plans available to help individuals take care of their past due taxes.

If you are using the services of a tax attorney or tax relief service, you may be able to reduce your burden even further. These services often dispute the findings of the IRS and can prove how the accounting methods were inaccurate. When this happens, the IRS will reduce the taxes that are owed and the accompanying fines. These companies can also negotiate with the IRS on a repayment plan that will fit your current budget.

 
Tax Attorneys

Why Hire a Tax Attorney?

Competence.

 Tax Lawyers know the law and have the expertise to vigorously defend you from IRS actions.

You need a tax attorney if: 

• You have a taxable estate, need to make complex estate planning strategies, or need to file an estate tax return.
• You are starting a business and need legal counsel about the structure and tax treatment of your company.
• You are engaging in international business and need help with contracts, tax treatment, and other legal matters.
• You plan to bring a suit against the IRS.
• You plan to seek independent review of your case before the US Tax Court.
• You are under criminal investigation by the IRS.
• You have committed tax fraud (such as claiming false deductions and credits) and need the protection of privilege.

Tax Attorney advantages:
 

Privileged Communications.  Communications to a lawyer and his staff are confidential and privileged.  This can be very important in tax cases.  Communications to accountants and enrolled agents are not similarly privileged.

Not Intimidated.  The IRS intimidates enrolled agents who are licensed by the IRS to represent taxpayers. 

Lawyers, on the other hand, are licensed by the State Bar Association, not the IRS.

Preparation.  A tax lawyer has the education, training, and experience to best represent you before the IRS and the courts.

Accountability.  Bar Associations regularly penalize and disbar lawyers with ethical violations.  We stand behind our advice and service.
