Our tax law firm in Palm Bay exists because taxpayers facing criminal investigations and offshore audits need attorneys who won’t back down. Every attorney holds board certifications in tax law and handles IRS criminal defense and FBAR violations that most firms refuse.
Board certification and courtroom experience make the difference between jail time and case dismissal. Clients who call early usually get better outcomes than those who wait until charges are filed.

"I was so worried about the IRS notices I was receiving and thought that my bank account was going to be levied - UNTIL I talked to Chad. What a relief he provided and I no longer have to talk or deal with the IRS as Chad does all the talking me. He reduced my debt, penalties and interest - thank you Chad." -Kevin, Palm Bay,FL

Yes, you can fix years of unfiled taxes through voluntary compliance and avoid major consequences when you act first. Follow the compliance pathway: file all missing returns, assess your liability, then resolve through payment arrangements. The IRS requires six years of compliance before approving installment agreements. File your most recent years first to achieve compliance status faster and reduce penalties.
We separate business obligations from personal returns to prioritize critical liabilities. State tax agencies coordinate with the IRS within 60-90 days, so addressing federal returns first prevents dual collection actions. Our team prepares all missing returns, negotiates penalty abatement when you qualify, and arranges payment terms that protect your assets from IRS seizure.
Hiring a tax attorney is worth it when penalties represent 25-47% of your total debt and professional representation can save you thousands of dollars. The IRS typically makes penalty relief decisions within 30-60 days of receiving properly documented abatement requests. Certain penalties over three years old may qualify for bankruptcy discharge under specific conditions. We use a fixed-fee structure for penalty abatement representation so you know costs upfront without hourly billing surprises.
We analyze your penalty notices to calculate potential savings, determine which relief programs offer the greatest benefit, and file formal abatement requests with supporting documentation the IRS requires. Our team negotiates penalty removal that reduces your total debt significantly, arranges payment plans for remaining balances, and handles all IRS communication so you avoid costly mistakes that taxpayers make when requesting relief on their own.
The IRS will likely find out through FATCA reporting where foreign banks report U.S. account holders directly to Treasury. Clients most ask: “Can I avoid penalties?” Yes, through voluntary disclosure before IRS contact. Keep five years of bank statements as required. Taxpayer Advocate Service helps resolve disputes.
We use protective filing strategies during IRS examinations to minimize exposure. Calculate your maximum aggregate account balances by year. Palm Bay residents resolve FBAR violations through voluntary disclosure programs we handle completely.
Yes, a crypto tax accountant is worth the cost compared to software because they capture deductions and apply IRS rules correctly. Crypto gifts up to $18,000 per person in 2024 are exempt, and mining hardware may be depreciated over five years. Rebase token adjustments can also change cost basis calculations.
Resolution involves tracking wallet addresses for DeFi trades on Etherscan. The next step is working with a CPA or EA qualified in crypto taxation.
