Frequently Asked Questions
What does a tax attorney do?
A tax attorney helps clients resolve disputes with the IRS or state tax authorities. This includes negotiating settlements, defending audits, stopping collections, and providing legal guidance on complex tax matters.
Can a tax attorney negotiate with the IRS?
Yes. Tax attorneys are authorized to represent you before the IRS. They can often negotiate better outcomes than individuals trying to handle issues alone, especially cases involving offers in compromise or penalty relief.
What is an offer in compromise?
An offer in compromise is a formal settlement with the IRS that allows you to pay less than the full amount owed. It’s based on your income, assets, and ability to pay. Approval depends on strong documentation and a strategic presentation.
How can I stop a wage garnishment immediately?
You can often stop a garnishment by negotiating a payment agreement, filing for hardship status, or challenging the action. A tax attorney can contact the IRS on your behalf and seek an immediate release.
What qualifies for innocent spouse relief?
You may qualify if your spouse or former spouse failed to report income or claimed improper deductions, and you were unaware. IRS offers several types of relief depending on your situation and level of involvement.
