When You Have Serious Tax Issues, You Need Someone Who Knows Tax Law

Experienced Atlanta Attorney And CPA Helping You Resolve Federal Tax Issues

When dealing with federal tax issues, having both legal knowledge and financial acumen on your side gives you a distinct advantage. As both an attorney and Certified Public Accountant (CPA), attorney Jeffrey S. Gartzman brings a comprehensive perspective to your case that few professionals can match.

This dual skill allows him to address both the legal and financial aspects of your situation. He can meticulously review your financial records with an accountant’s precision and identify opportunities and strategies other professionals might miss. He can also build a stronger case for you and communicate effectively with IRS agents. This can help you limit penalties and resolve your federal tax challenges more effectively.

Resolving IRS Collections

The IRS collections process can involve complex procedures and aggressive enforcement actions that threaten your financial stability. An experienced tax attorney can navigate this challenging terrain by implementing strategic solutions tailored to your specific situation. Whether you’re facing federal tax liens that damage your credit and encumber your property, wage garnishments that reduce your paycheck, or bank levies that leave you without access to your accounts, professional representation provides critical protection and advocacy.

A skilled tax attorney can help establish manageable payment plans aligned with your financial reality, negotiate an Offer in Compromise that may settle your debt for less than the full amount owed, work to remove damaging liens, stop intrusive levies, and develop comprehensive strategies to resolve back taxes through various IRS programs. With attorney-client privilege protecting your communications and a deep understanding of tax law, your attorney serves as both shield and advocate, transforming an intimidating collections process into a structured path toward resolution and financial recovery.

Guiding You Through IRS Audits And Appeals

An IRS audit can be stressful and complex, as the IRS examines your financial records looking for errors or discrepancies. A tax attorney can help you protect your rights throughout this process. Your attorney can handle all communications with the IRS, prepare and organize documentation, attend meetings on your behalf and develop strategies to address potential issues before they escalate into bigger problems.

If your audit results in an unfavorable decision, a tax attorney can guide you through the IRS appeals process, which offers a second chance to resolve your case. Your attorney will prepare a strong appeal based on tax law and the specific facts of your situation. This can help you challenge incorrect assessments and negotiate a settlement.

Facing Other Federal Tax Issues With Financial Skill

Federal tax issues extend far beyond basic audits and collections, often involving complex situations that require specialized legal knowledge. People dealing with IRS debt after a loved one’s death or those whose spouses created tax debt without their knowledge may wonder whether they must pay someone else’s taxes out of their own savings. Victims of tax-related identity theft need immediate assistance to secure their financial information and restore their tax accounts. An attorney can help protect them from the financial mistakes or misconduct of others.

People in unique financial situations can benefit from personalized guidance. A tax attorney can help these people ensure compliance, prepare documentation and minimize penalties when issues arise:

  • International tax matters: Foreign Bank Account Reporting (FBAR) and foreign asset disclosure requirements carry severe penalties for noncompliance.
  • Payroll tax: For businesses, payroll tax and trust fund problems represent serious concerns, as the IRS can hold business owners and certain employees personally responsible for unpaid employment taxes.
  • Self-employment tax issues: Self-employed individuals face unique challenges with quarterly estimated payments, business deductions and self-employment taxes – areas where attorney guidance helps prevent common and costly mistakes.

Many people also qualify for penalty abatement but do not know how to request it. A tax attorney can build compelling arguments that can help you reduce or eliminate penalties. This could resolve your tax issues while saving thousands of dollars.

Finally, for those with unfiled or incorrect tax returns, an attorney can safely bring taxpayers back into compliance. They can help you understand ways to lower your penalties while you catch up on your taxes.
