Do YOU Have Unfiled Taxes?

Do YOU Have Unfiled Taxes?

By Steven A. Leahy

Thinking about NOT filing your taxes? If so, expect trouble…lots of it.

The IRS has many examples of otherwise conscientious citizens who ended up in prison for not filing. Not only serving a 12-month sentence but also having to pay hundreds of thousands to the IRS.

Willfully failing to file guarantees trouble.

That’s because the IRS has powerful tactics… and one of them is jail time.

The good news, however, is that the IRS would much prefer to get the money you owe them rather than send you to jail.

You only need to take action before your situation gets worse.

If you are in the position where you need to negotiate payment with the IRS it is in your best interest to have a competent tax professional on your side.

They will ensure you receive the best repayment rates and work to keep the IRS out of your wages and bank account……and you out of jail!

If you haven’t filed your tax returns for more than one year, call us.
Let us help you avoid the major IRS penalties.

Should I Consult A Tax Attorney For An IRS Audit?

Why you should consult a Tax Attorney for an IRS Audit

By Steven A. Leahy

There is very little that can strike fear in the heart like a notice from the IRS that you are about to be subject to an IRS audit.

A tax audit can make even the most honest person wonder how much trouble they are going to get into and what they should do to prepare.

Many people facing an audit choose to go it alone, but here are three ways that consulting a tax attorney can make it a little more bearable.

#1. You remove yourself from much of the process.
There is almost nothing more stressful than a tax audit, but if you hire a professional, they can handle the great majority of it for you.

#2. A tax attorney will know if your auditor is right or wrong.
Mistakes are often made in an audit because the tax code is so complex. A tax attorney will be able to spot these mistakes, possibly saving you thousands of dollars.

#3. A professional tax attorney can prepare a counter-attack.
An experienced tax attorney and their staff can go over old returns and find missed deductions and other errors that can be used to counter some of the things brought up in the audit.

If you’re facing a Tax Audit, do not do it alone. Contact a Tax Attorney and get help! Call Opem Tax Resolution – The Law Office of Steven A. Leahy, PC (312) 664-6649. Call Now to schedule your FREE 1 hour Consultation!
