5/5

Our Tax Experts in Fresno are here to answer all your Tax questions

Not every tax problem requires legal action, but many do. Can the IRS seize assets over unpaid taxes? In some cases, yes. Should you wait and hope it resolves itself? No. Taking action now can prevent bigger issues later. Our firm fights for the best possible resolution.

How much do tax attorneys in Fresno cost?

The average cost for tax attorneys in Fresno is $350 per hour or more, depending on experience, case complexity, and tax debt amount. While that may seem high, not all firms follow the same structure. Our pricing is fair, often lower, and includes flat-rate options for better cost control.

Can Silver Tax Group's Fresno tax lawyers help me with underreported tax return notices?

Yes, getting an IRS notice about underreported income doesn’t have to be scary. Our tax attorneys review your records against IRS claims, spot errors in their calculations, and submit correct documentation. Many clients end up owing much less than the IRS initially claimed.

Can a tax attorney help me reduce penalties & interest on my tax bill?

Yes, our tax law firm helps people lower IRS penalties and interest. Late payments, filing mistakes, or unreported income often trigger unnecessary charges. By correcting errors, pushing for reductions, and negotiating better payment terms, it is possible to cut down what is owed and prevent future penalties from adding up.

Do I need a criminal tax defense attorney?

IRS criminal cases start small but escalate fast. A simple audit can turn into an investigation, and an investigation can lead to charges. Tax evasion, fraudulent filings, or offshore account violations carry heavy penalties. We defend clients at every stage, often stopping cases before they reach criminal prosecution.

What are the benefits of working with a crypto tax accountant?

Cryptocurrency taxes involve complex calculations and specific reporting requirements. Our tax attorneys handle everything from capital gains on Bitcoin trades to mining income from Ethereum, plus we respond to IRS notices and resolve past unreported crypto transactions to prevent future complications.
