The Tax Law Firm In Laredo That Closes Cases

When the IRS threatens to seize your bank account or pursue you for unfiled returns, you need an attorney who can stop collection actions before they drain your finances. Most firms pass you between junior staff, but we assign a dedicated tax attorney to your case who handles everything from criminal tax investigations to international reporting requirements.

Our tax law firm represents clients in Laredo facing problems that go beyond payment plans, including FBAR violations, state tax disputes across multiple jurisdictions, and IRS appeals that require courtroom experience. You get one attorney who knows your situation and builds a defense strategy that produces results.

Full-Service Tax Attorneys In Laredo Ready To Handle Your IRS Issues

Tax Audit Representation (State & Federal)

An IRS audit notice means the agency will examine your tax returns and assess additional tax if it finds errors. Our attorneys in Laredo represent you during examinations, handle all correspondence, organize documentation, and prepare responses that address examiner questions while protecting your legal rights. We challenge incorrect assessments, prevent scope expansion into other years, and preserve your appeal rights if results depend on your specific facts.

Tax Debt Relief Services

Should you pursue an offer in compromise, establish an IRS payment plan, or request currently not collectible status? The right path depends on your finances. When tax debt triggers garnishments or levies, our attorneys evaluate all options and represent Laredo taxpayers through programs that stop collection and protect assets.

IRS Tax Returns & Unfiled Tax Filings

Unfiled returns create back taxes the IRS will eventually calculate for you, often without the deductions you earned. Laredo taxpayers who file voluntarily before IRS contact have better options. We reconstruct income records, identify missed deductions, calculate your actual liability, and negotiate penalty abatement to restore IRS compliance.

IRS Defense Against Penalties & Collections

When you respond to IRS collection notices quickly, you have leverage. Laredo taxpayers facing an IRS levy or tax lien can request Collection Due Process hearings, negotiate payment plans, or pursue Currently Not Collectible status. We stop wage garnishment, release liens, and protect your assets when you act before deadlines pass.

Small Business Taxes

Small business owners facing payroll tax problems, business tax debt, or IRS audit notices need specialized legal protection that accountants can’t provide. Our tax attorneys handle trust fund penalty cases, unfiled returns, and tax compliance failures while defending you during federal and state audits. When the IRS threatens your business, our legal representation protects your assets and negotiates settlements that keep your company operating.

International Taxes and FBARs

Did you miss FBAR deadlines or fail to report foreign accounts? Our attorneys resolve unfiled FBARs, negotiate offshore penalty reductions, and handle FATCA violations through simplified filing procedures. We defend you during IRS international audits, correct past reporting errors, and build compliance systems that protect your assets. Many taxpayers don’t realize that willful FBAR violations can result in penalties up to 50% of the account balance per year, making early legal intervention critical.

Tax Attorneys in Laredo For Texas and Federal IRS Issues

Laredo taxpayers often clash with the Texas Comptroller over sales tax audits, franchise tax assessments, and mixed beverage tax compliance. Webb County property tax disputes add another layer for commercial property owners fighting inflated appraisals. Our attorneys represent clients facing collection actions from both the IRS and state agencies.

Laredo processes more international trade by value than any other U.S. land port, which means the Comptroller scrutinizes sales and use tax records here more aggressively than in most Texas cities. Property values are climbing too: the median homestead taxable value jumped from $182,335 to $194,727 in 2025, pushing the typical homeowner’s bill up 9% even though the city’s tax rate dropped slightly. Commercial property owners face similar valuation increases, making appraisal protests increasingly common.
