Tax Attorney

The average chance that someone is going to have a problem with the IRS at some point in life is pretty much a given. When you have problems with the IRS or the government that is when a tax attorney can be your guide. Tax attorneys are lawyers who work on your behalf so that you can resolve any issues or problems that you have with the IRS or state governments. Tax attorneys are able to help you by giving you special assistance. Some of the issues and disputes that tax attorney’s can help you with include: liens IRS seizures Garnishments Levy’s Unfilled tax returns Late filing of tax returns Payroll tax disputes IRS audits Your tax attorney will work with you by checking out the facts of your situation, the legal issues that are involved, and then they will advise you about what your rights and obligations are. Your tax attorney will also be your personal advocate in all of the areas of the tax resolution process and will work to negotiate a fair settlement that is bases on the circumstances of your separation. Your tax attorney is obligated to treat your in a respectful, caring and professional manner. If this is not the case, you may file a complaint against him or her. A lot of people assume that a tax attorney is the same thing as using a CPA, and I will tell you that it is not. You cannot use an accountant to help you in dealing with your problems with the IRS and state government in the same manner as a tax attorney does. One of the biggest things that a tax attorney does that a CPA doesn’t is offer you the same confidentiality that a tax attorney is obliged to give you. Only a tax attorney is protected should the IRS take you to court and not have the right to testify against you. This means that they can’t be forced to divulge any information about

you, anything you have said to them or your communications with your attorney. They can however, force a CPA to testify against you. Tax attorneys are the only people who are legally allowed to give you legal advice about your tax situation such as bankruptcy. A CPA is not legally allowed to do as they do not fully understand all of the laws and regulations as a tax attorney does. Taking a CPA’s advice can wind you up in serious trouble with the IRS and state government. If you find yourself in a situation involving your taxes and debts, you should best consult a tax attorney for help and not rely solely on the advice of a CP
