Tax Audit Representation (State & Federal)

Our attorneys handle IRS audits for Sherman taxpayers by managing all contact with examiners, preparing documentation responses, and keeping the scope from expanding. We challenge assessments the IRS can’t support with evidence and protect your right to appeal. Your outcome depends on your records, but having attorneys direct the examination changes what the IRS can assess. We focus the process on what you can prove and what they can’t.

Tax Debt Relief Services

Your paycheck gets garnished and your bank account gets levied when you owe tax debt and don’t pay. Our attorneys stop those collection actions for Sherman taxpayers by negotiating offer in compromise settlements, setting up IRS payment plans, and requesting currently not collectible status. We get liens released and work to reduce your penalties. Which option works for you depends on your income, expenses, and assets.

IRS Tax Returns & Unfiled Tax Filings

Going from unfiled returns to IRS compliance starts with reconstructing your records. Our attorneys bring Sherman taxpayers back into compliance by finding missed deductions, calculating what you actually owe, and negotiating penalty reductions. Coming forward through voluntary disclosure before the IRS investigates reduces your penalties and removes the risk of criminal prosecution.

IRS Defense Against Penalties & Collections

IRS collection starts with notices. If you ignore them, it becomes wage garnishment and tax liens. Our attorneys stop levies for Sherman taxpayers by requesting Collection Due Process hearings and negotiating installment agreements you can afford. You need to act fast to prevent asset seizure and protect your income.

Small Business Taxes

When payroll tax and trust fund recovery penalties pile up, your business needs legal representation to stop IRS collection. Our attorneys resolve IRS audits for Sherman businesses by handling unfiled returns, negotiating business tax debt, and getting your company current with the IRS. We advise on entity structuring and pursue penalty abatement to protect your personal assets from business tax liability.

International Taxes and FBARs

You can fix FBAR violations and get into international tax compliance, but you need to act before the IRS does. Our attorneys resolve unreported foreign accounts, FATCA violations, and offshore penalty assessments for Sherman taxpayers. We handle voluntary disclosure, streamlined filing procedures, and penalty reduction. Taking action before IRS enforcement starts is what protects your assets from seizure.

Tax Attorneys in Sherman For Texas and Federal IRS Issues

Texas Instruments, Grayson County’s largest private employer, laid off roughly 400 workers at its Sherman and Dallas plants in late 2025 while closing its older 150-millimeter fabrication facilities. Workers who received severance packages or cashed out stock options owe federal income tax on that money the same year they receive it, and the IRS won’t wait for you to find another job before sending a bill. Grayson County’s property tax rate has held steady for three years, but rising appraisals still push bills higher every year. Between the IRS pursuing unpaid federal taxes and the Texas Comptroller enforcing franchise tax and sales tax collection, Sherman residents can face pressure from both agencies at once. Our attorneys handle federal and state tax disputes for Grayson County taxpayers, including property tax protests, IRS installment agreements, and Offers in Compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions About State & Federal Taxes

How much do Sherman tax attorneys charge?

Tax attorney fees in Sherman range from $500 to $8,000, and we understand that’s real money when you’re already dealing with IRS debt. That’s why we offer flat fee payment options. You can pay upfront or work with our office to spread payments across the life of your case. Penalty abatement and installment agreements fall on the lower end. Offer in Compromise negotiations, audit defense, and multi-year unfiled returns run higher.

We quote your flat fee during the first consultation, before any work begins. Call us to learn your options and get a clear number.

What's the difference between a tax attorney and a CPA?

Certain IRS situations require a tax attorney by default. If you’ve received a Notice of Deficiency (Letter 3219), you have 90 days to petition Tax Court, and only an attorney can file that petition and represent you there. If the IRS assesses a trust fund recovery penalty (Form 4180 interview), an attorney protects your responses under privilege. Offer in Compromise applications (Form 656) don’t require an attorney, but the IRS approves them at higher rates when attorneys handle the financial disclosure and negotiation.

For routine filings, your CPA is fine. For anything on this list, call our Sherman office for a free consultation.

How long does it take to settle with the IRS using an attorney?

Timelines vary by case type. Installment agreements take 2 to 6 weeks to set up. Penalty abatement requests resolve in 30 to 60 days. Tax lien releases take 30 to 90 days after the underlying debt is resolved. Currently Not Collectible status takes 2 to 4 weeks if your financial documentation is ready. Offer in Compromise negotiations run 6 to 12 months. IRS audit defense takes 3 to 6 months for a single year, longer for multiple years. Tax Court cases run 12 to 24 months.

Every IRS notice has a response deadline printed on it. If you’ve received one, check that date now. Missing it can eliminate resolution options that would have been available if you’d responded in time.
