Tax attorneys file multiple years of missing returns and prevent the IRS from filing substitute returns that ignore your deductions and credits. The IRS files liens at $10,000 debt and assumes you owe maximum tax without dependents.
Get professional help if you owe over $25,000 or received CP504 or LT11 notices requiring 30-day responses. We file all missing returns, request innocent spouse relief for joint filers, and stop IRS collection actions.
Tax attorneys save clients money on IRS penalties by filing Form 843 for penalty abatement or Form 9465 for installment agreements that stop penalty growth. Administrative waiver programs remove penalties under $100,000 automatically when you establish payment plans or demonstrate reasonable cause for late filing.
We offer a money-back guarantee if we cannot reduce your penalties. We file Form 843 abatement requests, pursue administrative waivers for penalties under $100,000, and document reasonable cause to eliminate or reduce your penalty charges.
The consequences of not filing FBAR include fines starting at $10,000 once foreign accounts exceed the $10,000 threshold, and this includes investment accounts. In St Petersburg, cases can reach the IRS Appeals Office for review. Quiet disclosure carries risks since IRS detection methods are advanced, so the safer step is to evaluate eligibility for official disclosure programs.

Transactions over $10,000 require Form 8300 reporting within 15 days. Your accountant calculates gain or loss for each disposal after subtracting exchange fees and network costs. Keep all crypto records for at least 3 years after filing, or 6 years if underreporting exceeds 25% under IRC Section 6501.
