Tax Audit Representation (State & Federal)

Your audit notice tells you exactly what the IRS is questioning. Our attorneys represent San Marcos taxpayers by analyzing those examination requests, preparing organized responses, and keeping the audit from expanding beyond the original issues. We handle all IRS correspondence, challenge incorrect assessments, and protect your right to appeal. Knowing what examiners need to prove helps us limit what they can assess, though outcomes depend on your documentation.

Tax Debt Relief Services

The IRS will take money from your paycheck and bank account if you owe tax debt and don’t act fast. Our attorneys stop collection enforcement for San Marcos taxpayers by negotiating offer in compromise settlements, setting up affordable IRS payment plans, and requesting currently not collectible status. We get liens released and reduce penalties when your documentation supports it. What you qualify for depends on your income, expenses, and assets.

IRS Tax Returns & Unfiled Tax Filings

Our attorneys handle unfiled returns for San Marcos taxpayers who need to get current with the IRS. We reconstruct your income records, find deductions you missed, and calculate what you actually owe. Voluntary disclosure brings you back into compliance before collection actions start, which reduces your penalties and removes the risk of criminal prosecution.

IRS Defense Against Penalties & Collections

Wage garnishments and IRS levies can be stopped, but you need an attorney to do it. Our attorneys protect San Marcos taxpayers by requesting Collection Due Process hearings, negotiating installment agreements, and pursuing Currently Not Collectible status. Acting before deadlines pass gets tax liens released and prevents asset seizure.

Small Business Taxes

Most business owners don’t think about payroll tax compliance until trust fund recovery penalties show up. At that point, you’re personally liable. Our attorneys protect San Marcos businesses by resolving unfiled returns, negotiating business tax debt, and getting your company current with the IRS. We handle entity structuring and penalty abatement before the problem gets worse.

International Taxes and FBARs

Ignoring FBAR filing requirements can cost you up to 50% of your foreign account balance in penalties, per year. Our attorneys prevent those losses for San Marcos taxpayers by resolving unreported accounts, FATCA violations, and penalty assessments. We handle voluntary disclosure and streamlined procedures to bring you into international tax compliance before the IRS seizes your assets.

Tax Attorneys in San Marcos For Texas and Federal IRS Issues

Hays County’s property tax rate jumped from $0.2256 to $0.3999 per $100 valuation in 2025, adding over $200 to the average homeowner’s annual bill. San Marcos lost multiple businesses this year, from Hooters to Forever 21 to longtime local shops, and small business owners who closed still owe the IRS for whatever income they earned before shutting down. That’s the core tax problem in San Marcos right now: the county is charging more while businesses are earning less, and both the IRS and the Texas Comptroller will collect regardless. Our attorneys handle federal IRS disputes and state enforcement for Hays County taxpayers, including sales tax audits, franchise tax assessments, and property tax protests.
