Tax Attorney's normally deal with more complex tax related issues than a CPA.I would expect a Tax Attorney to be dealing with issues such as1) International Tax Law / Transfer Pricing2) Drafting a Private Letter Ruling(PLR) with the IRS confirming that a tax position they will tax is blessed.3) Confirming or understanding recent tax law changes / updates4) Taxation rules for companies who operate over multiple states.Best of luck
