Taxes and IRS Questions Answered

How much does a tax attorney really cost in Fort Lauderdale?

Attorney fees range from $300 for basic notices to $5,000 for audits, far less than IRS penalties. Our business tax compliance prevents $10,000+ in penalties. Fort Lauderdale marine businesses face unique vessel sales tax rules. Review our satisfaction guarantee terms.

Can I still file old tax returns and avoid penalties?

You can file old tax returns anytime, but avoiding penalties depends on voluntary disclosure before the IRS contacts you. Filing stops certain IRS enforcement actions like wage garnishments and bank levies immediately.

Document financial hardship if you cannot pay in full to qualify for currently not collectible status. Voluntary disclosure before receiving CP504 or LT11 notices improves your penalty relief options. We file your old returns, request penalty abatement, and negotiate payment terms.

Can a tax attorney reduce my total IRS debt?

Tax attorneys reduce your total IRS debt by removing penalties through first-time abatement or reasonable cause requests, which can cut 20% to 50% of your balance. Compound penalties double tax debt within 24 months when failure-to-file penalties at 5% monthly combine with failure-to-pay penalties and daily interest charges.

Installment agreements stop the 0.5% monthly failure-to-pay penalty from growing while you make payments. We offer same-day attorney consultations. We file penalty abatement requests, establish payment plans to stop penalties, and reduce your total debt through Offer in Compromise settlements when you qualify.

What Are My Options If I Never Filed FBAR?

Your options if you never filed FBAR include late filing through IRS compliance programs. Most Fort Lauderdale clients first ask about penalties, which can reach $10,000 per year. FBAR must be filed electronically on FinCEN Form 114, and the statute of limitations runs six years. Resolution may involve a reasonable cause letter, and next is reviewing if professional representation is needed.

Can crypto tax accountants qualify me for IRS penalty exemptions?

Crypto tax accountants can qualify you for IRS penalty exemptions by proving reasonable cause for missed filings or securing first-time abatement if you have a clean three-year history. The IRS treats your Bitcoin differently than your stocks because it’s classified as property under Notice 2014-21, meaning every swap between coins triggers a taxable event. If you’re developing DeFi protocols, you may qualify for research and development credits under IRC Section 41, which can offset up to $250,000 in payroll taxes annually.

The IRS has served John Doe summons to major exchanges since 2016, giving them direct access to your transaction records from Coinbase, Kraken, and others. File Form 8949 with your complete transaction history showing dates, amounts, and cost basis for every trade to establish compliance. Reference IRS Publication 544 for complete guidance on reporting sales and dispositions of all digital assets on your return.
