Best Dallas, Texas IRS tax attorneys for state and federal taxes.

The Leading Dallas Tax Law Firm

If the IRS is sending notices about unfiled returns, payroll tax debt, or rising penalties, you need a Dallas tax attorney who can act quickly and communicate clearly. In your first week with our firm, an attorney reviews your tax history, contacts the IRS, and begins building a resolution plan based on your income, expenses, and risk level.

We represent Dallas individuals facing wage garnishments and businesses dealing with trust fund recovery penalties and compliance problems. You’ll know what we filed, what the IRS said, and what happens next, because every step should be clear when your money and records are on the line.

How Our Tax Attorneys in Dallas Resolve IRS Problems for Individuals and Businesses

Tax Audit Representation (State & Federal)

When the IRS or state tax authorities question your return, our attorneys handle every stage of the examination from the initial document request through appeals if the case requires it. Our representation includes analyzing the audit scope, preparing responses that address examiner concerns, and negotiating outcomes based on applicable tax law and supporting records. Most clients see reduced proposed assessments or close their audits with no additional tax owed when proper documentation exists and legal arguments apply.

Tax Debt Relief Services

Is your IRS balance growing faster than you can pay it down? Our Dallas tax attorneys negotiate settlements, structure payment terms, and stop levies before they hit your bank account or paycheck. Clients typically resolve their tax debt for 25-60% less than the original amount owed.

IRS Tax Returns & Unfiled Tax Filings

When you have returns you never submitted, failure-to-file penalties add up at 5% per month until they reach 25% of your balance. Criminal prosecution remains possible for willful non-filers. Dallas residents with unfiled returns protect themselves through voluntary disclosure with attorney guidance. We reconstruct your income records, calculate your actual liability, claim deductions, and negotiate penalty abatement to restore IRS compliance and stop collection actions.

IRS Defense Against Penalties & Collections

When the IRS sends a levy notice or files a tax lien, you have 30 days to respond before wage garnishment or asset seizure begins. A tax attorney can request Collection Due Process hearings, negotiate installment agreements, or pursue Currently Not Collectible status. Each option has specific deadlines that determine whether it remains available.

Small Business Taxes

Business tax problems require legal solutions because the IRS treats business tax debt differently than personal taxes. Payroll tax issues trigger trust fund penalty assessments against you personally. Our tax attorneys provide IRS audit defense, negotiate penalty abatement, resolve unfiled returns, and structure settlements that protect your business and personal assets.

International Taxes and FBARs

Did you work abroad, inherit overseas assets, or open a foreign account without knowing the IRS requires annual FBAR filings? Our tax attorneys review your voluntary disclosure options, correct unreported accounts through streamlined procedures, and defend against offshore penalty assessments before FATCA violations grow into larger problems.

Tax Attorneys in Dallas For Texas and Federal IRS Issues

Dallas business owners frequently encounter Texas Comptroller audits over franchise tax margin adjustments, sales and use tax discrepancies, and penalty assessments. Dallas County property tax protests must be filed by May 15, and commercial valuations often exceed what the market supports. Our attorneys handle IRS matters and Comptroller disputes together, preventing one settlement from creating problems with the other.

Dallas County’s combined property tax rate ranks among the highest in Texas when you add city, county, school district, community college, and hospital district levies together. The Comptroller also targets Dallas-area businesses for margin tax calculation errors, particularly companies that elect the wrong apportionment method or misclassify revenue streams. When federal and state collection efforts overlap, coordinated defense becomes critical.
