Killeen's Tax Law Firm That Handles Every Federal Tax Problem

Choosing the right tax law firm determines whether you resolve IRS problems with minimal financial damage or face years of wage garnishments and asset seizures. The difference lies in legal representation that knows how to challenge assessments, qualify clients for penalty abatement, and negotiate settlements that prevent collection enforcement.

Our attorneys serving Killeen handle all communication with revenue officers and IRS agents, so you never speak with them directly or risk damaging your case. We appear with you at audits and meetings instead of sending junior staff or leaving you alone. This matters for military families dealing with combat zone filing extensions, businesses facing payroll tax problems, or individuals who need unfiled returns submitted with currently not collectible status.

How Our Killeen Tax Lawyers Provide Complete IRS Representation And Tax Compliance Services

Tax Audit Representation (State & Federal)

An audit notice means the IRS will examine your tax return and request documentation for income, deductions, and credits you claimed. Our Killeen attorneys represent you during the examination, handle all correspondence with examiners, organize your financial records, and prepare responses that protect your legal rights. We challenge incorrect assessments, prevent expansion into other tax years, and preserve appeal rights if results depend on your circumstances.

Tax Debt Relief Services

Owing tax debt you cannot pay creates a problem that compounds over time. Penalties grow, and the IRS gains authority to garnish wages and levy accounts. Killeen taxpayers facing this situation have options worth considering. We negotiate offer in compromise settlements, establish IRS payment plan structures, and request currently not collectible status for those whose finances qualify. The right approach depends on your income, assets, and total balance owed.

IRS Tax Returns & Unfiled Tax Filings

Years of unfiled returns create exposure to IRS action, penalties, and potential criminal review. Killeen taxpayers can avoid the worst outcomes through voluntary disclosure. We reconstruct income records, identify overlooked deductions, calculate your actual liability, and negotiate to reduce penalties and restore IRS compliance.

IRS Defense Against Penalties & Collections

IRS collection feels overwhelming, but Killeen taxpayers have real options. An IRS levy or tax lien does not mean you have lost everything. We file collection appeals, request Due Process hearings, and negotiate payment terms you can afford. Quick action often stops wage garnishment and protects your assets.

Small Business Taxes

Payroll tax debts and trust fund penalty claims can threaten your business and personal finances. Our attorneys will negotiate business tax debt settlements, stop IRS levy actions, defend you during audit proceedings, and resolve unfiled returns. We establish tax compliance systems and secure penalty abatements that protects your company from future collection actions.

International Taxes and FBARs

Missing an FBAR deadline or facing questions about unreported foreign accounts can trigger serious penalties. A tax attorney guides you through voluntary disclosure, simplified filing procedures, and penalty mitigation while defending against FATCA violations and offshore penalty assessments. The right legal strategy corrects past reporting errors and protects your financial interests during IRS international audits. The voluntary disclosure deadline is the moment before the IRS contacts you. After that, your options change dramatically.

Frequently Asked Questions About State & Federal Taxes

What do tax attorneys charge in Killeen?

  • Wage garnishment release typically costs $1,500-$2,500

How do I know if I need a tax attorney instead of a CPA?

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.

Can a tax attorney resolve my IRS problem faster than doing it myself?

Yes, a tax attorney typically resolves IRS problems in 3-12 months compared to 12-24 months on your own. If you need a levy released, then we can do it in 1-21 days. If you want an installment agreement, then expect 30-90 days. If you’re pursuing an Offer in Compromise, then plan for 6-12 months.

Having your documents ready before we start saves time. Our free case review estimates your specific timeline.
