Tax attorneys in Cincinnati generally charge between $300 and $750 for basic tax notice responses or return corrections, $1,500 to $5,000 for audit defense or penalty abatement, and $7,500 to $20,000 or more for litigation or offshore compliance. We use a flat-fee model that makes costs clear upfront and often saves clients thousands compared to IRS penalties that can reach 25% of the unpaid balance within months.
Our work also extends beyond federal issues. We resolve state tax controversies across multiple jurisdictions, including sales tax nexus problems that often hit e-commerce businesses selling in several states.
The IRS typically begins collection actions after missing just one year of tax returns, especially if they show income from W-2s or 1099s in their system.
Filing returns immediately stops wage garnishments and gives you collection appeal rights. Tax debts over three years old may qualify for bankruptcy discharge if you meet specific requirements. Watch for CP notices like CP2000 (proposed changes) or CP504 (intent to levy). Check your IRS transcript online to see what income they already know about. Complex cases with multiple years need professional representation. We analyze your transcripts, file all returns, and negotiate resolution options that protect your assets.
Tax attorneys can eliminate many IRS penalties through penalty abatement programs, though interest typically remains unless the underlying tax debt is removed. IRS penalties compound monthly and can double your original tax debt within 24 months, making professional intervention essential for reducing what you owe.
Attorneys argue reasonable cause based on documented hardships like serious illness, natural disasters, or death in the family to remove failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties. We offer same-day consultations to review your penalty notices, even if it’s an IRS negligence penalty, identify which penalties qualify for removal, and file formal abatement requests with supporting documentation the IRS requires.
A crypto tax accountant calculates your gains and losses across all wallets and exchanges, files required forms, and reduces your tax bill through legal strategies. The IRS charges 0.5% monthly penalties on unpaid crypto taxes, plus interest.
Holding crypto 366 days drops your tax rate from 37% to 15%, while FinCEN requires reporting wallet transfers over $10,000. Export exchange CSVs by January 31st and create audit defense files showing every transaction source.
