Round Rock Tax Attorneys With The IRS Case Experience You Need to Win

Q: How much does a tax attorney in Round Rock cost?

Two things determine your fee. The stage of IRS action (notice vs. active levy vs. Tax Court) and the number of tax years involved. A single-year penalty abatement might cost $500 to $1,500. An Offer in Compromise negotiation covering three or more years of back taxes typically runs $3,500 to $8,000 because it requires full financial disclosure and extended IRS negotiation. We charge flat fees on every case, so you'll know your total before we start. Call for a free consultation and we'll tell you exactly where your situation falls in that range.

Q: Should I hire a tax attorney or a CPA for my IRS problem?

A CPA handles tax preparation, bookkeeping, and routine IRS questions. You need a tax attorney when the situation turns legal. That means you've received a CP504 notice, the IRS is threatening a levy or lien, you're facing an audit with criminal exposure, or you need to negotiate an Offer in Compromise. Those situations require attorney-client privilege, which protects your conversations from being subpoenaed. A CPA can't offer that. If you're not sure which you need, call us for a free consultation. Our Round Rock tax attorneys will tell you whether your case requires legal representation or if your CPA can handle it.

Q: How long does it take to resolve an IRS problem with a tax attorney?

Most IRS cases resolve in 2 weeks to 12 months. How fast yours moves depends largely on you. If you have your tax returns, income records, and bank statements organized before your first meeting, your attorney can file paperwork within days. If those documents need to be reconstructed, that alone can add 4 to 8 weeks. Installment agreements take 2 to 6 weeks. Offer in Compromise cases take 6 to 12 months. Lien releases typically take 30 to 90 days. Before you do anything else, gather your last three years of tax returns, W-2s, and 1099s. That's the documentation that delays most cases when it's missing.

We get liens released and build payment structures based on your actual income and expenses. What you qualify for depends on your financial situation and documentation.
