Installment Agreements and Payment Plan Negotiations

The IRS will take advantage of a taxpayer who is not knowledgeable about the tax law or IRS audit and collection procedures. Taxpayers need to be protected from IRS error, abuse, and intimidation. Taxpayers frequently overpay their tax liability either as a consequence of inappropriate IRS actions, or because they do not have the counsel of a skilled and experienced tax lawyer.

National IRS tax attorney practice specializes in IRS problems and controversies, including: “offers in compromise”, IRS tax liens, IRS collection actions including levies, wage garnishments, IRS civil and criminal investigations, installment agreements, penalty abatements, IRS appeals, consultations services, fraudulent transfers, litigation services and other IRS pro-active services.

Using Offer in Compromise services as an example, we have the advantage of having “offer in compromise” cases throughout the U.S. In negotiating offer in compromise settlements, we have a national perspective to prevent IRS error and misapplication of the tax law. We have unique insight into unpublished IRS administrative practices and policies in offer in compromise cases. For these reasons, we are able to settle offer in compromise cases at the lowest amount that the IRS will accept for an “acceptable Offer” (i.e., final settlement). In addition, our insight into IRS administrative practices in Offer in Compromise cases minimizes the opportunities the IRS has to return an Offer case without resolution. We prepare Offer in Compromise Form 656 and financial statement Form 433A and Form 433B so that the presentation to the IRS is professional. A tax attorney prepares a legal memorandum in all Offer in Compromise filings, in order to make sure that the IRS is following the IRS statute on §7122 (the OIC statute), the Offer regulations, the legislative history, the tax policy in Offer cases, the Offer case law, and the Revenue Procedure in Offer in Compromise cases. The task of our tax lawyers in Offer in Compromise cases is to force the IRS to follow the all of the legal and administrative procedures as well as the Congressional mandate to the IRS to be “liberal” in OIC cases.

What is a Tax Attorney?

When a taxpayer has problems with the Internal Revenue Service, or the state department of revenue, he may be able to solve it himself. However, with the intricacies of U.S. tax law being what they are, the taxpayer may find himself better served in hiring a tax attorney.

A tax attorney specializes in working with taxpayers to solve their problems with the IRS or state revenue department. In fact, they generally focus only on tax issues and relief. A tax attorney can help a taxpayer in trouble make it through an audit, have fines reduced, liens removed, and can navigate through the minefield of small business and self-employment tax issues.

Many small business owners consider their tax attorney to be as vital as their accountant. This is because a good tax attorney can help head off tax problems before they even begin. He or she can see potential trouble spots for a business and can advise the owner how to avoid them.

U.S. tax law is not only labyrinthine in structure, it also changes nearly every year. Thus, a good tax attorney will keep up with the latest changes and can advise clients accordingly. A tax attorney may also be helpful when setting up trust funds, stock portfolios and the like, so a taxpayer doesn't run into unexpected surprises on April 15.

A person looking for a tax attorney shouldn't call the first one listed in the phone book. He should look around, ask friends, or even his personal attorney (if he has one) to recommend a good tax specialist. As a prospective client, the taxpayer should look for a tax attorney with extensive experience in dealing with the IRS, in debt management cases, and in working with real live taxpayers. He should also ask the attorney for references. The taxpayer should also make certain his tax attorney is a member of the American Bar Association and the state bar association. A client should also make sure he knows what his attorney's rates are, and make arrangements for payment early on in the consultation process.

If a taxpayer finds himself in over his head where the IRS is concerned, he should certainly consult a tax attorney. Tax fines tend to snowball, and it is always in the taxpayer's best interests to get problems solved while they are still relatively small ones. Waiting until the last minute to see a tax attorney could be extremely costly, and might result in jail time for the taxpayer, as well as higher legal fees.

Money invested in the services of a tax attorney can be considered a wise investment for a taxpayer.
