Why Hire a Tax Attorney
Why Hire a Tax Attorney?
Tax Attorneys are experienced in tax law and have the expertise to defend you from numerous IRS and State Tax Authority actions. Communications to an attorney are confidential and privileged which is very crucial in tax cases. Communications to accountants and enrolled agents are not similarly privileged.
One instance in which a tax attorney is your best option is if you have not kept your tax payments up-to-date. Personal problems, business upheavals, and other factors occasionally figure into many people not paying or filing their taxes on time. Tax issues can also be a problem for those who have recently changed their filing status, or for those who are dealing with business taxes.
If you owe back taxes, a tax attorney can help you. This kind of help does not relieve you of your financial obligations; instead, it makes your obligations clear to you, and gives you the information you need to meet your obligations. A tax attorney can help you with the necessary paperwork, figuring how much tax and possible penalty fees you owe, and the most reasonable method and schedule for making your payments.
A tax attorney can also help if there has been a discrepancy with various aspects of your taxes. For example, if your tax return was not completed correctly, resulting in overpayments or making a smaller payment than you should have made, a tax attorney can assist in determining what the true tax liabilities are.
