Does anyone have a solid Tax Attorney ?

Question

Looking for someone knowledgable, with years of experience, and a little mean must know the laws and defend its clients.

Michael Plaks · Answer

You gave us zero details on what is the nature of your ordeal. Tax attorneys specialize in tax controversies, i.e. situations when the tax law is not clear, particularly when the case is likely to require taking the IRS to court - a rare situation. And tax attorneys are the most expensive among tax professionals.

If you are dealing with an IRS audit or IRS collection, maybe you do not need a tax attorney. Maybe you need an Enrolled Agent or a CPA specializing in IRS representation: someone who can defend you at a significantly lower cost, compared to attorneys.

Here is a discussion of different types of tax professionals:

Actually, you have any options available such as:

CPA

IRS Enrolled Agents

Attorney.

I would say that tax professional with EA license works out. Are you auditted?

Jason Malabute · Answer

For a collections and back-taxes situation, you may not need a pricey tax attorney at all. There are three types of licensed pros who can actually represent you in front of the IRS — attorneys, CPAs, and enrolled agents — and attorneys are usually the most expensive of the three. Tax attorneys really earn their keep when a case is headed to tax court or hinges on genuinely unsettled law, which is rare. For most audits and collection cases, a CPA or enrolled agent who focuses on IRS representation can handle the back taxes and negotiate for a lot less. I'd look for someone who does this representation work day in and day out. The best fit really depends on the specifics, so talk it through with your own tax advisor.

It may help if you share a little more about the issue you're trying to solve.

Are you dealing with an IRS audit, collections, a tax court matter, a dispute involving a self-directed IRA, cost segregation, entity structuring, or something else?
