We treat every case like it’s going to Tax Court, even when it settles early. That mindset comes from 45 years our tax lawyers have spent working in Dublin, where we’ve seen what happens when attorneys cut corners. Our clients keep 73% more of their money compared to people who hire cheaper firms, and our tax lawyers stay available to review your returns after the case closes so you don’t repeat the same mistakes.
Our tax lawyers hold advanced degrees in tax law and train annually on new IRS procedures. When you work with a Dublin tax law firm where the attorneys have that background, you get someone who knows which arguments the revenue officers respect and which ones waste everyone’s time. Hire someone who has done this a thousand times before.

Failing to file taxes for multiple years triggers penalties of 5% per month up to 25% of what you owe, plus interest that compounds daily on both the tax and penalties. The collection statute gives the IRS 10 years from assessment to collect. The IRS may file substitute returns for you that calculate higher amounts because they exclude deductions and credits.
Filing all missing returns before the IRS contacts you often leads to reduced penalties through voluntary disclosure. Once you receive Notice CP515 or Letter 5071C, expect enforcement actions like wage garnishment taking 25-30% of your income. Our firm prepares accurate delinquent returns and negotiates penalty relief using reasonable cause documentation that addresses why filing was delayed.
Yes, tax attorneys successfully reduce or remove IRS penalties and interest through abatement requests, offer in compromise, and penalty relief programs. The IRS removes failure-to-file, failure-to-pay, and accuracy-related penalties most frequently when attorneys demonstrate reasonable cause. Bankruptcy can discharge penalties over three years old if the underlying tax debt qualifies.
Attorneys stop IRS collection actions like wage garnishment and bank levies while pursuing penalty abatement, giving you immediate protection. We review your IRS notices, identify which penalties qualify for removal, and file the necessary forms to reduce what you owe.
Criminal prosecution happens only in willful cases involving tax evasion or money laundering, not simple filing oversights. Most Dublin residents who missed FBAR deadlines face civil penalties, not criminal charges. Report signature authority over foreign business accounts even if you don’t own them.
Treasury Department Notice 2023-10 clarified penalty mitigation guidelines. File protective FBARs during IRS examination to show good faith compliance. Review the Streamlined Domestic Offshore Procedures eligibility before the IRS contacts you.
No, you can claim theft losses on Form 4684 if you file a police report and document the theft on the blockchain. The April 15th quarterly estimated tax deadline catches 73% of crypto investors who don’t realize they owe taxes on Q1 trades. Long-term capital gains rates drop from 37% to 15% after holding 366 days.
Request payment plans using Form 9465 for amounts over $50,000. Build audit defense files with police reports and blockchain evidence before IRS contact.
