Taxpayers hire us because they’re tired of firms that disappear after cashing the retainer check. We maintain a 96% client rating and cut debt by $47,000 on average. Every threatening letter from the revenue officer gets handled by our office, and every collection call gets returned by someone with a law degree instead of bouncing you to voicemail.
Bar associations regulate what we can and cannot do, which means real consequences if we mess up your case. CPAs face lighter oversight. Middletown tax attorneys who put their license on the line tend to work harder than people who don’t risk anything.

A qualified tax attorney can resolve years of unfiled returns by reconstructing income and filing before the IRS takes collection action. Three years of $5,000 tax bills grow to $23,000 with penalties and interest compounding monthly.
We determine if immediate filing prevents Revenue Officer assignment or liens. Our attorneys reconstruct income from bank statements and prepare returns that stop growing penalties.
Tax attorneys get penalties reduced by proving reasonable cause based on four circumstances the IRS accepts: serious illness or death in the family, natural disasters, IRS errors or bad advice, and inability to obtain records despite good faith efforts. We document these circumstances with medical records, death certificates, disaster declarations, or IRS correspondence to support your penalty removal request.
Setting up installment agreements stops failure-to-pay penalties from growing while you make monthly payments, cutting penalty accrual in half from 0.5% to 0.25% per month. We charge fixed fees for penalty abatement representation so you know the cost upfront, and we handle all IRS communications to build your case for removal based on facts the IRS must consider under their own guidelines.
Non-willful FBAR violations carry $10,000 per year, so missing five years could total $50,000 in penalties. Most Middletown residents discover missed FBARs when reviewing old tax returns or receiving IRS letters. File FinCEN Form 114 electronically through the BSA E-Filing System for all missing years.
The IRS collected $5.7 billion in FBAR penalties in 2023. Submit Offer in Compromise on Form 656 if penalties exceed your ability to pay. Determine if Ohio has state tax implications for unreported foreign income before filing.
