Most people in Lorain pay between $300 and $750 for simple tax notice corrections, $1,500 to $5,000 for audit defense or penalty abatement, and $7,500 to $20,000 or more for complex cases. We use a flat-fee pricing model, and consultations are available to review your situation before costs rise with penalties or interest.
Our attorneys handle cryptocurrency tax compliance and defense, along with local issues like court filing fees and procedural costs that can surprise taxpayers. We explain each step so you know what to expect.
Become tax compliant by filing six years of returns starting with any years that show refunds within the three-year claim window, then working backward chronologically. The IRS typically requires six years of filed returns to consider you compliant, and you can still claim refunds from returns due within the past three years.
Order your wage and income transcripts from the IRS to see exactly what income they have on record for each unfiled year. Gather your last filed return plus all W-2s and 1099s received since then to reconstruct your tax situation. We analyze your transcripts, prepare all required returns, identify available refunds, and establish payment arrangements for any taxes owed.
Tax attorneys regularly get IRS penalties lowered or completely removed using Form 843 for penalty abatement requests based on reasonable cause. Filing Form 843 with proper documentation starts the formal review process where attorneys present evidence like medical records, death certificates, or proof of natural disasters to justify penalty removal.
The IRS offers administrative waiver programs for penalties under $100,000 when taxpayers demonstrate compliance history or financial hardship. We file penalty abatement requests with supporting documentation, negotiate with IRS appeals officers, and offer a money-back guarantee if we cannot reduce your penalties through available relief programs.
Yes, you can amend any FBAR filed within the past six years by submitting a corrected FinCEN Form 114 electronically and checking the “Amended” box. The IRS voluntary disclosure program is for taxpayers needing to fix errors before the government finds them.
File amendments through the BSA E-Filing System. Title 31 penalties apply to incorrect FBARs, so file corrections quickly. If under examination, submit protective filings for all open years. Your spouse may need their own FBAR if they have signature authority. Lorain, OH tax professionals can guide you through multi-year amendments.
Crypto tax accountants defend IRS audits by reconstructing transaction histories, negotiating settlements, and representing you during examinations to reduce penalties. Form 8949 requires listing every crypto sale, and holding 366 days cuts your rate from 37% to 15%.
