Take Control With Temple's Leading Tax Law Firm

IRS penalties for unfiled returns, wage garnishments, and back taxes need an attorney’s defense because CPAs and enrolled agents can’t represent you in Tax Court. Only attorneys have full representation rights at every level of the IRS.

Our tax law firm handles all IRS communication for Temple taxpayers, and our attorneys review every settlement offer before you sign anything. Call today to learn your resolution options and exact legal fees.

Tax Services In Temple That Handle Every IRS Case

Tax Audit Representation (State & Federal)

Our attorneys handle IRS audit defense for Temple taxpayers by controlling what information the examiner receives, organizing your documentation, and challenging assessments that go beyond what the evidence shows. We manage all correspondence, prepare responses, and protect your right to appeal. Having representation during a tax audit keeps the IRS from expanding the scope or assessing amounts they can’t prove. Outcomes depend on your records, but we direct the examination toward what you can support.

Tax Debt Relief Services

Once the IRS starts collection enforcement, you need legal representation to stop it. Our attorneys stop wage garnishments and bank levies for Temple 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 records support it. What you qualify for depends on your financial situation and ability to pay.

IRS Tax Returns & Unfiled Tax Filings

Unfiled returns need to be addressed before the IRS decides to investigate. Our attorneys bring Temple taxpayers back into IRS compliance by reconstructing income records, finding missed deductions, and calculating what you actually owe in back taxes. Coming forward through voluntary disclosure reduces your penalties and removes the risk of criminal prosecution, but timing matters. The earlier you file, the better your outcome.

IRS Defense Against Penalties & Collections

If you ignore IRS collection notices, the next step is wage garnishment and asset seizure. Our attorneys stop levies for Temple taxpayers by requesting Collection Due Process hearings and negotiating settlements that lower your balance. We get tax liens released and protect your income, but you need to respond before enforcement deadlines pass.

Small Business Taxes

When your Temple business faces payroll tax problems or trust fund recovery penalties, you need an attorney involved. We resolve IRS audits, handle unfiled returns, and negotiate business tax debt to lower what you owe. Our tax compliance services include penalty abatement and entity structuring that protect your business and your personal assets from IRS collection.

International Taxes and FBARs

International tax compliance comes down to one question. Did you report your foreign accounts? If you didn’t, the IRS has penalties that can reach 50% of your account balance per year. Our attorneys resolve unfiled FBARs, FATCA violations, and offshore penalties for Temple taxpayers through voluntary disclosure, streamlined procedures, and penalty reduction.

Tax Attorneys in Temple For Texas and Federal IRS Issues

Temple’s City Council set a property tax rate of $0.6999 per $100 valuation in August 2025, a 13.92% rate increase that will generate over $67 million in property tax revenue for Bell County’s fastest-growing city. Manufacturing makes up nearly 10% of Temple’s workforce, and that sector cut thousands of jobs across Texas this year. Workers who received severance or cashed out retirement funds owe federal income tax on the full amount, regardless of their current employment status. For Temple taxpayers caught between rising Bell County property taxes, Texas Comptroller sales and franchise tax enforcement, and IRS collection on unreported income, the path forward starts with a tax attorney who can stop the damage and build a plan. Our attorneys handle federal and state tax disputes for Bell County residents.
