Support For A Wide Variety Of Tax Issues

Tax problems can snowball into very serious, stressful issues, including financial consequences and even jail time. Our firm works with you to find the right solution, whether that means filing an appeal with the IRS, negotiating your settlement or standing in your defense. The Gartzman Law Firm, P.C., finds ethical solutions to get you through these problems to see the other side.

Our firm handles a comprehensive range of tax problems to provide representation and resolution. For federal tax issues, we offer aggressive representation dealing with IRS audits, collections, tax liens, and levies, while also navigating the IRS Appeals process and negotiating Offers in Compromise. We also specialize in state tax issues, assisting clients with audits and collections related to sales tax, withholding tax and other state-specific concerns. For international tax matters, we guide clients through foreign bank account reporting (FBAR) requirements and complex foreign asset disclosures to ensure compliance and avoid penalties.

For business owners, we advise on payroll tax problems and trust fund recovery penalties. We understand that tax issues can endanger more than just your bottom line, and we fight to protect businesses and their principals from the financial and legal challenges that can result.

Additionally, we offer tax compliance and planning services based on over 40 years of experience in tax preparation and planning. Our attorney can assist with complex tax filings, unfiled or amended returns and proactive tax strategies to ensure compliance and optimize your tax strategy.

Why Choose The Gartzman Law Firm, P.C.?

Jeffrey S. Gartzman is an Atlanta tax attorney and CPA with over 40 years of experience solving complex tax problems for businesses and individuals. Our services include:

  • Foreign bank account and foreign asset reporting (FBAR)
  • Outstanding tax debt, including state and federal back taxes
  • Tax liens and levies
  • Tax appeals
  • Working toward penalty relief
  • Installment agreements: Arranging a formal, approved payment plan with the IRS allows you to pay your tax debt over time without facing immediate collection actions. We prepare and submit all required financial information to help you qualify and prevent further enforcement.
  • Offer in compromise: A negotiation option that lets you settle your tax liability for less than the full amount owed. We carefully review your finances and history to build a strong, supportable proposal for IRS approval.
  • Currently Not Collectible status: When you are unable to pay due to financial hardship, we can request that the IRS temporarily suspend collection efforts.
  • Penalty abatement: In some cases, penalties can be reduced or removed if you had a legitimate reason for missing deadlines or payments. We gather the necessary evidence to show reasonable cause.
  • Innocent spouse relief: This program shields one spouse from joint tax liability when the other spouse underreported income or made errors without their knowledge. We help you prove eligibility and submit the proper documentation.

With extensive experience in matters of business law and estate planning as well as tax law, we have what it takes to effectively handle even the most complex legal conflicts spanning multiple practice areas.

Decoding Common IRS Notices And Their Impact

IRS notices can be confusing, but each one carries meaning and urgency. Our Atlanta tax law firm helps you interpret every letter, respond correctly and prevent aggressive enforcement:

  • Notices about unpaid tax balances or collection actions: CP14, CP501, CP503, CP504, and CP523 usually relate to unpaid taxes, proposed installment plans or pending collection.
  • Notices of Deficiency or underreported income: CP2000, CP3219A and the Notice of Deficiency indicate the IRS believes your income report is inaccurate and proposes adjustments.
  • Final collection warnings: Letter 1058 or LT11 often precede levies against your wages or accounts, while Letter 3172 warns of federal tax liens.

The timeline to respond to an IRS notice is often short. This can sometimes be as little as 30 days. Ignoring a notice can result in liens, levies or seizure of assets.
If you believe the IRS notice is incorrect, you have the right to dispute it. We analyze your records, determine the strongest legal grounds for an IRS appeal and handle all communication with the agency to reach a fair outcome.
