Internal Revenue Service (IRS): Federal Taxes
The Internal Revenue Service collects federal taxes and enforces unpaid balances through tax liens, bank levies, and wage garnishments.

Florida Department of Revenue (FDOR): State Taxes
The Florida Department of Revenue administers Florida's state taxes, including sales tax, and audits and collects from the businesses that owe them.

IRS Audit Representation for Jacksonville Individuals and Businesses
IRS and Florida Department of Revenue Audit Defense
Tax audit representation means a licensed attorney answers the audit for you, so the IRS communicates with your attorney instead of with you. J. David Tax Law represents Jacksonville individuals and businesses in IRS audit representation and in Florida Department of Revenue audits. The firm’s audit representation runs in five stages: the audit notice and document preparation, a resolution strategy built from your financial records, representation before the IRS examiner, the examination report and appeals, and assessment and penalty resolution.
Audit Notice and Document Preparation
An IRS audit begins with a written notice that identifies the tax years and the records under review. J. David Tax Law’s Jacksonville tax attorneys review the returns and records for those years and assemble the documentation that answers each item the examiner has requested before anything is sent to the IRS.
Resolution Strategy Built From Your Financials
Resolution strategy starts with your financial records: income, assets, and monthly expenses, the same figures the IRS reviews when it decides how a balance will be collected. That review determines whether a balance assessed after the audit fits an offer in compromise, an IRS payment plan, Currently Not Collectible status, or penalty relief, and which proposed adjustments are worth disputing.
Representation Before the IRS Examiner
A licensed tax attorney speaks to the examiner for you. The IRS sends its notices and document requests to your attorney, and the attorney attends any interview in your place, so you do not have to speak to the IRS yourself. Every response is filed by the deadline printed on the notice.
Examination Report and Appeals
The examination ends with a written report of the examiner’s findings, and the taxpayer has the right to dispute it. J. David Tax Law’s attorneys respond to the report, file the appeal, and negotiate with the IRS Office of Appeals. The firm handles tax litigation where a dispute cannot be settled.
Assessment and Penalty Resolution
An audit that adds tax also adds interest and, in many cases, penalties. J. David Tax Law’s attorneys dispute penalties that should not apply, request penalty relief where the facts support it, and resolve any remaining balance through an IRS payment plan, an offer in compromise, or Currently Not Collectible status.

What is FBAR, and who needs to file it?
The FBAR is the federal report a U.S. taxpayer must file when the combined value of their foreign financial accounts exceeds $10,000 during the year. The report is filed separately from the income tax return, in every year the threshold is crossed. J. David Tax Law’s Jacksonville tax attorneys prepare late and missing FBAR filings and represent taxpayers if the IRS questions a filing.
Do you get your tax refund if you get audited?
The IRS can still issue your refund while a return is under audit, but the audit may delay the refund until the review is complete and the return is accepted. A refund claimed on the return being audited is the one most likely to be held. J. David Tax Law’s attorneys follow the refund through the examination and request its release when the audit closes.
How far back can the IRS audit me?
The IRS generally audits returns from the past three years and can go back up to six years when a return contains substantial errors. No time limit applies when a return was never filed or was fraudulent. J. David Tax Law’s Jacksonville tax attorneys confirm which years are open before any record goes to the examiner.
What can a taxation lawyer do for me?
A taxation lawyer represents you before the IRS and the Florida Department of Revenue, so the agencies deal with your attorney instead of you, and the relationship is protected by attorney-client privilege. The work includes answering audit notices, negotiating settlements and payment plans, disputing penalties, releasing levies and wage garnishments, and handling tax litigation. A taxation lawyer matters most when the balance is large, returns are unfiled, a levy is active, or an IRS criminal investigation has begun.
Does J. David Tax Law offer a free consultation in Jacksonville?
J. David Tax Law offers a free, no-obligation consultation at its Jacksonville headquarters, 7077 Bonneval Road, Suite 200, Jacksonville, FL 32216, and by phone at (904) 674-3268.

The Jacksonville office holds a 4.9 Google rating across 596 reviews.
What are the penalties for paying payroll taxes late?
Late payroll tax payments carry IRS penalties that range from 2% to 15% of the unpaid amount, depending on how late the payment is, plus interest. Repeated failures can lead to liens, levies, or criminal charges. J. David Tax Law’s attorneys negotiate the payroll tax balance with the IRS and represent the business throughout.
