Tax Representation Services In Los Angeles Built For Complex IRS Cases

Tax Audit Representation (State & Federal)

Acting early on an IRS audit notice in Los Angeles costs far less than waiting for the examination to produce additional assessments. Our attorneys prepare your documentation, handle IRS correspondence, and respond to examiner requests before the tax audit widens in scope. We protect your legal rights and keep your right to appeal intact. Results depend on your specific records and circumstances.

Tax Debt Relief Services

IRS collection hits hard when tax debt goes unresolved, and Los Angeles taxpayers feel that pressure fast once it starts. Our attorneys negotiate offer in compromise settlements, set up IRS payment plans, pursue penalty abatement, and request currently not collectible status where it applies. Acting before collection begins keeps more options available, and what you qualify for depends entirely on your current financial situation.

IRS Tax Returns & Unfiled Tax Filings

Ignoring unfiled returns doesn’t make them go away. The IRS keeps a running tab, and the longer you wait, the bigger it gets. An attorney in Los Angeles can take over the process, put together accurate filings, and negotiate directly with the IRS to bring your penalties down.

IRS Defense Against Penalties & Collections

Unanswered CP notices in Los Angeles set off a chain: a tax lien files, then an IRS levy hits your accounts, then wage garnishment or asset seizure follows. Our attorneys request Collection Due Process hearings and pursue Currently Not Collectible status before each step in that chain executes. Timing determines the outcome.

Small Business Taxes

Running a small business in Los Angeles means payroll tax deadlines, IRS notices, and filings that pile up fast. A tax attorney can resolve business tax debt, fight trust fund penalties, and handle audits so you can get back to running your company.

International Taxes and FBARs

What does international tax compliance actually require? It means filing an FBAR for every foreign account over $10,000, meeting FATCA obligations, and disclosing offshore income each year. Our attorneys resolve unreported accounts, offshore penalties, and missed filings through streamlined procedures before the IRS acts.
