Sales Tax Audit
Sometimes, businesses fall behind in remitting collected sales tax
to the New York State authorities. Also, New York State authorities
may sometimes audit a business and determine that the business
has not turned over all sales taxes collected.

An audit which determines that the business failed to turn over sales
tax may result in felony prosecution, which may expose the owners
to imprisonment.

Payroll Tax
When a business fails to remit to the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) payroll taxes
collected from its employee(s), the IRS may impose Trust Fund Penalty against
the owners or officers for the unremitted funds.

If the IRS determines that you are a responsible person (responsible for collecting
and turning over the payroll taxes), you may be held liable for the funds.
The IRS may then deploy any of its formidable arsenal of collection tools against
the individual to collect the debt from the responsible person.

Income Tax Audit
Once a tax return has been flagged for an audit, the taxpayer, whether an individual
or business, needs the prompt assistance of a knowledgeable expert.
An audit can be stressful, invasive, and invariably unpleasant for the taxpayer.

Generally, the IRS Examiner conducting an audit knows more about the tax laws
than you do. Going through an IRS audit without a tax attorney, whether as an
individual or business, puts you at a clear disadvantage.

Criminal Tax
Once the Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS (CI) commences
an investigation against you, you need the urgent assistance of a tax
lawyer experienced in criminal tax defense.

If you are ever contacted by IRS Agents from CI, you should immediately contact
an experienced criminal tax defense lawyer before you provide any
further information to the Agents.

Offer in Compromise
Under federal and New York State laws, if a taxpayer does not have sufficient
assets or income to full pay his or her tax liabilities, the taxpayer is entitled to
make an offer to pay less than the full amount of the tax debt.

The Offer-In-Compromise (OIC) program is a very powerful tax relief program
that can legally reduce your tax debt by thousands
and hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even eliminate it completely.

Liens, Levies & Wage
Garnishments
As part of its very powerful collection enforcement authority, the IRS
can file public liens against you and ruin your credit. They can also garnish
your wages, impose levies, seize your assets and freeze and levy your bank accounts.

Are you the subject of a federal or state tax lien, or had wage garnishment
filed against you? Call us now for a no-risk FREE consultation with a Tax Lawyer.

Unfiled Tax Returns
Unless otherwise specifically exempted, every US individual and business
is obligated to file tax returns.

Failure to file tax returns when due can attract liabilities anywhere
from benign penalties and interests up to and including criminal charges.

IRS and state taxing authorities have a slate of penalties and charges
that may attach for failure to file tax returns when due. In many cases,
the penalties for failure to file may be much larger penalties than for failure to pay.

Penalty Abatements
Taxpayers may request an abatement of penalties imposed against them.
Under certain circumstance, requests for penalty abatement may be granted,
which may reduce your tax debt by thousands of dollars.

Has the IRS imposed penalties against you or your business, making your tax
debt seem insurmountable? Call us now for a no-risk FREE consultation.

Installment Payments
Tax debts do not get better with time.

Taxpayers who are overwhelmed with their tax bill may apply for an
Installment Payment plan. Under certain circumstances, some taxpayers
may qualify for a Partial PayInstallment Agreement (PPIA), where the
taxpayer pays only a portion of the tax bill in full satisfaction of the entire tax bill.

Innocent Spouse Relief
Generally, married couples who file joint returns are jointly and severally
liable for tax debts arising from the tax filing. This mean that each person
is responsible for 100% of the tax liability.

However, under particular circumstances, a qualifying joint tax filer
may successfully file a claim that he/she should not be held liable for
some or all of the debts arising from the joint returns. This relief is referred
to as Innocent Spouse Relief.
