Why should I hire a tax attorney for an IRS or state tax controversy?
A tax attorney can evaluate notices and deadlines, explain available legal and administrative procedures, communicate with the taxing authority under an appropriate power of attorney, and protect the taxpayer’s procedural rights.
What happens during the initial consultation?
The initial consultation is used to identify the agencies, tax periods, notices, deadlines, and records involved. It does not guarantee that a particular procedure or result will be available.
Can my attorney communicate with the IRS or state taxing authority for me?
When authorized by a valid power of attorney, counsel can communicate with the IRS or applicable state taxing authority regarding the represented matter.
What records should I gather for a tax controversy?
Relevant records may include tax notices, filed and unfiled returns, account transcripts, payroll records, financial statements, correspondence, and documents relating to the disputed tax periods.
What deadlines can affect my rights?
Deadlines depend on the notice and procedure. Appeal periods, response dates, collection deadlines, and Tax Court petition dates can affect available rights, so notices should be reviewed promptly.
What legal or administrative procedures may be available?
Available procedures depend on the agency, type of tax, procedural posture, financial information, and governing law. An attorney must evaluate eligibility based on the specific facts.
How long does a tax controversy take?
Timing varies with the agency, issues, records, deadlines, and procedure involved. No standard timeline applies to every tax controversy.
Is a particular outcome guaranteed?
No. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Available options and results depend on the client’s facts, documentation, applicable law, and the taxing authority’s determination.
