Offering comprehensive tax services

Dealing with personal and business tax issues can be both stressful and confusing. However, addressing the issue head-on often achieves the most successful result.

Our firm regularly advises clients on various tax matters, including:

• Tax liens
• Estate and gift taxes
• Offers in compromise
• Lien discharges
• Past due taxes
• IRS audits
• Tax deferments
• Appeals

For New Jersey businesses, careful tax planning is also imperative. Potential tax obligations include corporate tax, sales and use tax, payroll tax, and property tax. For individuals, it is important to understand the potential tax consequences of investment decisions, asset transfers, and employment changes.

IRS and NJ Division of Taxation Matters

Individuals and businesses often owe tax payments to the Internal Revenue Service that they cannot afford to pay. Unpaid taxes can result in a number of unpleasant consequences, such as tax liens, wage garnishments, and even criminal charges. In these situations, there are a number of options available to obtain relief, including:

• Installment payments: The taxpayer agrees to pay the outstanding tax liability over a specified period of time.
• Offers in compromise: The taxpayer offers, and the IRS agrees to accept a lower amount in satisfaction of the full tax obligation. This may be based either upon doubt as to liability or inability to pay.
• Penalty reduction: Taxpayers can seek to reduce penalties charged for failure to file or pay taxes by offering a reasonable cause, such as illness, incorrect tax advice or natural disaster.
• IRS lien discharge/subordination: After a tax lien has been filed, it may be possible to get the lien released. In other cases, a federal tax lien can be made secondary to another lien, such as a mortgage loan, to permit a sale or refinance.

Legal representation can make a difference

When facing an IRS audit or unpaid taxes, taxpayers should never go it alone. While an accountant understands the intricacies of state and federal tax law, a skilled tax law attorney can also negotiate effectively on your behalf. Discussions with a lawyer are also protected by attorney-client privilege, which means that any information you reveal cannot be shared with tax authorities, including the IRS.
