We charge flat fees based on the service you need, not hourly billing. You'll know exactly what you'll pay before we begin work. Payment plans are available for most services, typically requiring a down-payment and the balance over 6-10 months. We understand that if you're facing tax debt, cash flow may be tight, and we'll work with you to structure payments that fit your budget.

Timeline depends on the type of matter and IRS backlog, but most matters resolve in 3-6 months. We provide realistic timelines during your consultation based on your specific situation and give you regular status updates throughout your case. Some matters require patience, but we work efficiently to resolve your tax problems as quickly as possible while protecting your interests.

We handle both federal and state tax matters. Our team represents clients before the IRS for federal tax debt, audits, and collections. We also handle New York, Texas, and Oklahoma state tax issues, including residency audits, back taxes, and state collections. Many clients face both federal and state tax problems simultaneously, and we coordinate resolution across jurisdictions to ensure consistent financial disclosures and prevent one agency's actions from undermining the other.

Yes. Unfiled tax returns are one of our core services. The IRS typically requires the past six years of returns, though we evaluate each situation individually. Filing voluntarily before the IRS contacts you significantly reduces penalties and eliminates criminal prosecution risk. We reconstruct income and deductions using bank statements, third-party records, and available documentation, then prepare accurate returns that minimize your liability while bringing you into compliance.

During your free consultation, we'll discuss your tax situation, review any notices you've received, and explain your options clearly. Bring any IRS or state tax notices, prior year tax returns, and a general understanding of your financial situation. The consultation typically lasts 20-30 minutes and gives you enough information to decide whether to move forward. There's no obligation to hire us, and we won't pressure you. Many clients use the consultation just to understand their options before making a decision about representation.

Tax attorneys provide legal representation and attorney-client privilege that CPAs and enrolled agents cannot offer. We can represent you in Tax Court, negotiate settlements with legal authority, and protect your communications under attorney-client privilege. If your case involves potential criminal exposure, complex legal issues, or litigation, an attorney is essential. Our firm combines tax law expertise with practical resolution strategies, and we work alongside your CPA when beneficial to coordinate your overall tax and financial planning.
