In Tax Court litigation, we always aim for a quick and cheap resolution. We will keep your tax defense case low-profile and solve it as early as possible. The higher up the chain you get, the more blood they want.
We will tell you:
- How you can reduce the tax
- The likely result of the Tax Court litigation
- The cost
- If you owe money, the terms for payment.
How to reduce the tax
Get your records together. We will organize them, present them, and show that the government's audit determination is wrong.
You must bring all the records and be candid. For Tax Court litigation, we need as much information as you can provide.
Taking on the IRS is like war. We formulate a strategy. Never go to fight the IRS or state tax officials without a sound, thought-through strategy.
Possible outcomes
- You don't owe any tax.
- You owe some that you can pay for.
- You owe so much you can't pay for it. In that case, we may make an offer in compromise or seek to discharge the debt in bankruptcy.
