Tax Attorneys

When dealing with taxes, there are two approaches. The proactive approach involves planning and implementing strategies to minimize taxes before filing periods arrive. The reactive approach involves trying to defend yourself when the IRS or a state tax agency comes calling, typically in the form of an audit. Tax attorneys fill both roles.

From the proactive perspective, tax attorneys can be invaluable in helping you create a plan to minimize your tax liability. A good tax attorney is going to sit down with you and review not only your finances, but your life. The attorney is going to get a good feel for your comfort level, your concerns and where your goals. The attorney is then going to make specific recommendations about the best way to meet your goals using tax strategies you will be comfortable with. So, why doesn’t everyone go out and retain a tax attorney? The fees can simply be overwhelming. You are getting an expert opinion and will pay for it. Unless you’re making significant amounts of income, a tax attorney probably is not within your reach.

If the tax man comes calling, you no longer have much of a choice in regard to getting a tax attorney. The IRS is a very aggressive agency when it comes to audits. The IRS agents have no problem trampling on your constitutional rights. In fact, they will try to get you talking because everything you say is evidence against you. A good tax attorney will put a stop to these intimidating and aggressive tactics. The attorney will take over all communication responsibilities, which relieves you of the burden. Further, anything the attorney says to the IRS can’t be used as evidence against you, a very important benefit to using a tax attorney. Finally, tax attorneys are on your side. If a deal needs to be made, they will give you objective advice on your options, answer your questions and make recommendations. 

Whether you are looking for tax planning advice or have received an audit notice, tax attorneys will give you good, objective advice. If nothing else, tax attorneys are comforting as it is nice to have someone on your side.
