Tax Audit Representation (State & Federal)

Once the IRS opens an audit, our Lubbock tax attorneys step in immediately to take over all communication with examiners. We analyze the issues under review, gather supporting records, and present documentation that protects every defensible position on the return. Clients walk away with lower adjustments, and faster case closures.

Tax Debt Relief Services

Behind on IRS taxes? You need a clear plan that puts you back in control. Our tax attorneys verify your balance, take over all IRS communication, and build a resolution strategy based on your actual income. Most cases reach a documented agreement and updated account status within 30-90 days, depending on IRS response time.

IRS Tax Returns & Unfiled Tax Filings

When you’ve missed filing federal returns for multiple years, the IRS can assess penalties, prepare substitute returns against you, and pursue criminal prosecution for willful non-filing. Lubbock residents with delinquent returns reduce penalties and eliminate criminal exposure through voluntary disclosure. Attorney representation reconstructs records, identifies deductions, calculates accurate liability, and negotiates abatement to restore IRS compliance.

IRS Defense Against Penalties & Collections

Did the IRS send you a levy notice? Lubbock taxpayers can challenge wage garnishment through Collection Due Process hearings and collection appeals. Contact our Texas tax attorneys within 30 days of your notice to stop enforcement and protect your income.

Small Business Taxes

Is an IRS audit or payroll tax problem threatening your small business? Our tax attorneys provide resolution options unavailable through Lubbock accountants. From trust fund penalty defense to business tax debt negotiations, working with an attorney often produces outcomes that seemed impossible before you made the call.

International Taxes and FBARs

Unreported foreign accounts create growing liability. FBAR penalties increase each year you wait to correct them. We handle voluntary disclosure, offshore penalty negotiation, FATCA compliance, and audit defense for individuals ready to resolve international tax reporting issues.

Tax Attorneys in Lubbock For Texas and Federal IRS Issues

Texas Comptroller enforcement against Lubbock businesses requires legal response when sales tax audits, franchise tax assessments, or severance tax disputes arise from regional oil and gas operations. Lubbock County property tax appeals become necessary when agricultural valuations lose exemptions or commercial appraisals outpace market value. Our attorneys intervene in IRS matters and state tax cases, particularly when multiple agencies start collection actions against you.

Texas exempts certain agricultural equipment and production from sales tax, but Lubbock-area auditors question these exemptions frequently because the rules for “agricultural use” are narrower than most farmers and ranchers assume. The Comptroller also audits severance tax filings from oil and gas operations in the Permian Basin aggressively, and mineral rights owners often discover they owe back taxes on production they assumed was correctly reported by operators.

Frequently Asked Questions About State & Federal Taxes

What should I expect to pay a Lubbock tax attorney?

Most clients pay between $500 for simple filings and $7,500 or more for serious IRS disputes. Your situation is unique, and we price accordingly. Unlike many Lubbock firms that bill by the hour, we give you a flat fee upfront so there are no surprises. Schedule a free consultation and we’ll give you an honest quote before you commit to anything.

Is it better to hire a tax attorney or a CPA for IRS problems?

If the IRS is just asking questions about your return, a CPA may be enough. But if the IRS has sent collection notices, threatened your wages or bank account, or opened a formal dispute, you need a tax attorney.

  • CPA role: tax return preparation, bookkeeping, financial statement accuracy, standard IRS form filing
  • Attorney role: attorney-client privilege, IRS dispute representation, collection defense, legal strategy against enforcement

When the IRS sends notices or threatens collection, you gain something a CPA can’t provide: attorney-client privilege. This legal shield keeps your conversations confidential and prevents them from being used against you in proceedings.

Our tax attorneys regularly collaborate with CPAs in Houston when clients face disputes requiring both accurate financial reconstruction and legal defense strategy.

How much faster is IRS resolution with a tax attorney versus on my own?

Case timelines range from a few weeks to 24 months depending on the issue. Bank levy releases take 1 to 21 days, and penalty abatement requests resolve in 30 to 60 days. Audits run 3 to 6 months. Offers in Compromise and Tax Court cases take 6 to 24 months because the IRS requires extensive review.

Complex cases take longer, which means starting sooner gets you to resolution faster. Schedule a free case review and we’ll tell you exactly how long your specific situation should take.
