We reduce what clients owe by 71% compared to other firms, and we return calls within two hours instead of two days.
Before you sign anything, we explain exactly what happens next and how much time each step takes. Tax attorneys in Cuyahoga Falls who set honest expectations from day one save you from confusion later. Good representation costs money, but bad representation costs everything.

Filing late returns now can prevent jail time if you act before the IRS opens an investigation. Voluntary compliance shows good faith, and prosecutors rarely pursue criminal charges when taxpayers come forward first, especially for non-willful violations. The streamlined filing process lets you catch up on multiple years with reduced penalties. Keep in mind that federal returns trigger state tax requirements, so you need to file both together.
Get your IRS transcripts to see what income information they already have, then file missing returns before they contact you. Voluntary disclosure only works when you reach out first, not after receiving an IRS notice. The failure-to-file penalty caps at 25% of your tax debt. We help clients file back years correctly, arrange payment terms, and build a strong compliance record.
Hiring a tax attorney improves penalty removal chances because we know which legal arguments the IRS accepts and how to document reasonable cause properly. The IRS typically decides penalty relief requests within 30 to 60 days, and attorneys can appeal denials through Collection Appeals Program if the first request fails.
If IRS processing delays exceeded 45 days from when you filed your return, we can also request interest abatement under IRC Section 6404(e) for delays caused by IRS errors. We offer free case reviews to determine your penalty removal eligibility by reviewing your filing history, payment records, and circumstances that caused late filing or payment before deciding which relief option saves you the most money.
The IRS fines $10,000 per year for non-willful violations and up to $100,000 or 50% of balances for willful violations. Voluntary disclosure programs remain available before IRS contact. Foreign accounts include checking, savings, and investment accounts held overseas.
Attorney-client privilege protects communications during resolution. Prepare amended returns with explanatory statements. Document reasonable cause factors like incorrect professional advice.
Yes, you can claim theft losses on Form 4684, but only if you report it to police and the IRS approves your claim. The IRS charges 20% accuracy penalties if you claim losses without proper documentation like police reports and blockchain evidence. Pre-2018 crypto-to-crypto trades might qualify for like-kind treatment under Section 1031.
Flash loan profits count as short-term capital gains taxed at your ordinary rate up to 37%. Track wallet addresses for DeFi transactions on Etherscan to prove the theft occurred. Report theft losses on Form 4684 Section B, then transfer to Schedule A if itemizing deductions.
