Every Tax Service Gainesville Taxpayers Need In One Firm

Tax Audit Representation (State & Federal)

You received an IRS audit notice. Our Gainesville attorneys represent you through the entire examination. We handle IRS correspondence, organize your documents, and respond to requests. If the audit creates additional tax, we file reconsideration requests or appeals. Your outcome depends on your documentation, but representation protects your rights and prevents expansion.

Tax Debt Relief Services

Tax debt creates stress. Our Gainesville attorneys understand what you’re facing. We negotiate IRS debt reduction settlements, establish IRS payment plans, secure currently not collectible status, and pursue penalty abatement. Your qualification depends on your finances, but we stop wage garnishments, release bank levies, and create payment structures that fit your situation, not IRS demands.

IRS Tax Returns & Unfiled Tax Filings

Unfiled returns destroy your financial future. Our Gainesville attorneys stop the damage through voluntary disclosure. We reconstruct your income records, identify deductions, calculate your actual liability, and negotiate penalty abatement. Filing voluntarily avoids criminal exposure and restores IRS compliance before collection actions begin.

IRS Defense Against Penalties & Collections

Facing an IRS levy or tax lien? Our Gainesville attorneys resolve collection actions by requesting Collection Due Process hearings, negotiating installment agreements, pursuing Currently Not Collectible status, and filing Offers in Compromise. Resolution stops wage garnishments, releases liens, and prevents asset seizure when intervention happens quickly.

Small Business Taxes

IRS penalties grow over time. Our Gainesville attorneys weaken enforcement by resolving payroll tax problems, defending IRS audits, negotiating business tax debt, and pursuing tax compliance. We handle trust fund penalties, unfiled returns, state audits, and penalty abatement. Intervention reduces damage.

International Taxes and FBARs

Your bank may have reported your foreign account to the IRS. Our attorneys handle FBAR compliance and offshore penalty mitigation before the IRS contacts you. We resolve unfiled FBARs, FATCA violations, unreported accounts, international audits, and streamlined disclosure procedures through voluntary disclosure.
