Spring Tax Attorneys for IRS Defense and Tax Debt Resolution

It depends on the type of case. Penalty abatement runs $500 to $1,500. IRS installment agreements typically cost $1,000 to $2,500. Audit defense ranges from $2,500 to $5,000 depending on the scope. Offer in Compromise negotiations run $3,500 to $8,000 because they require full financial documentation and months of back-and-forth with the IRS. Cases with criminal tax exposure or offshore reporting issues fall at the top of that range.

We charge flat fees on every case. Call for a free consultation and we’ll tell you which category your case falls into and what it’ll cost.

In many cases, you need both working together. Your CPA reconstructs financial records, prepares amended returns, and provides the accounting detail. Your tax attorney uses that information to negotiate with the IRS, file legal motions, and represent you in Tax Court if needed. On an Offer in Compromise, for example, the CPA organizes your income and expense documentation while the attorney presents it to the IRS and argues for the lowest settlement amount.

Our Spring tax attorneys coordinate with your existing CPA. Call for a free consultation and we’ll explain how the two roles work on your specific case.

In most cases, yes. Attorneys know which IRS forms to file, which fax lines to use, and which departments handle each type of case. That knowledge cuts weeks off the process. When you call the IRS yourself, hold times average 30 to 90 minutes, and the agent you reach may not have authority over your case type. Installment agreements take 2 to 6 weeks with an attorney. Offer in Compromise applications take 6 to 12 months regardless of who files, but attorneys avoid the common mistakes that get applications rejected and restarted.

If you’ve already tried calling the IRS yourself, write down the name of the agent you spoke to and what they told you. Your attorney will need to know what’s already been said on the record, because the IRS keeps notes on every call.
