Top Rated Tax Law Firm In Friendswood For IRS Cases

IRS wage garnishments and unfiled business returns need attorneys who can go to court if required. Many firms handle negotiations but refer you out when cases need Tax Court representation, forcing you to start over with someone new.

Our tax law firm has 45 years of combined experience with Friendswood clients. Your attorney sits with you at every IRS meeting and audit, never an assistant. Call to meet the attorney who handles your entire case.

Tax Services Our Friendswood Attorneys Provide for Every IRS Notice and Federal Tax Issue

Tax Audit Representation (State & Federal)

Your tax audit requires immediate action and documented responses. Our Friendswood tax attorneys represent you through IRS audit examinations, organizing records, responding to auditor requests, and challenging incorrect findings. We file reconsideration requests, preserve appeal rights, and prevent scope expansion. Outcomes depend on your specific circumstances and documentation.

Tax Debt Relief Services

Tax debt means the IRS can seize your wages and bank accounts. Our Friendswood attorneys negotiate offer in compromise settlements, establish IRS payment plans, or request currently not collectible status based on your situation. We address common IRS collections concerns, work to reduce what you owe when finances support it, and create monthly payments within your budget.

IRS Tax Returns & Unfiled Tax Filings

Unfiled returns lead to IRS enforcement and possible criminal charges. Our Friendswood attorneys reconstruct records, calculate actual back taxes, and file through voluntary disclosure. We negotiate penalty reductions and restore IRS compliance to stop criminal investigation before it starts.

IRS Defense Against Penalties & Collections

The IRS already sent Final Notice of Intent to Levy. Your paycheck gets garnished next unless we intervene now. Our Friendswood attorneys file Collection Due Process hearings to halt wage garnishment, negotiate installment agreements, and pursue Currently Not Collectible status. We stop asset seizure at the deadline.

Small Business Taxes

IRS audits and payroll tax problems in Friendswood can shut down your business within weeks. Attorney representation stops trust fund penalties, resolves business tax debt, and files unfiled returns before the IRS seizes assets. Legal intervention provides the defense your company needs.

International Taxes and FBARs

Have unreported foreign accounts kept you from filing correct returns? Establishing FBAR compliance through voluntary disclosure matters more than avoiding offshore penalties. Attorney representation files streamlined procedures to correct FATCA violations and resolve international tax audits with honest reporting instead of continued concealment.
