How a Tax Attorney can Help You
Both state and federal governments take tax violations very seriously. The IRS, for one, would not hesitate to practice aggressive collection methods if you’re proven to accumulate tax debts. Fortunately, you can avoid hefty penalties and imprisonment for criminal charges with the help of an expert Roanoke tax attorney.
Defense Tax Partners will gladly help you resolve any issue that you’re currently facing. One of our lawyers will be assigned to your case and will thoroughly assess it in order to arrive at the best legal action applicable to your situation. Even if you simply want some assistance or clarification when it comes to tax filing, our tax attorneys are more than happy to help.
Included in the legal services that our tax attorneys provide are the following:
Prepare For and Contest Tax Audits
We understand that receiving a notice from the IRS or the Roanoke Department of Revenue (DOR) can be a source of worry and panic. However, we hope you’ll find comfort in the fact that we have already successfully defended numerous clients in both IRS and state DOR audits.
The audit on your account may be caused by one of several reasons, including high income, committing clerical errors on your tax returns, failing to report part of your taxable income, or claiming a high charitable deduction. Whichever the case, our tax attorneys are ready to prepare all the necessary documents to prove that the mistake is unintentional and reduce both potential and actual penalties and tax liabilities.
After the audit, you will either have a tax liability, refund, or unchanged tax responsibility. If you are not convinced that the outcome has been fair, we can always file an appeal to contest the audit results. Our tax attorneys will ensure that there is enough evidence and witness to turn the results around.
Also, we will gladly help you with how to avoid facing future audits. We will educate you on why the audit happened and give you insights on what needs to be changed.
Civil Penalty Relief
Failure to file your tax return on time, overstating business expenses, listing non-existent dependents, and other acts that may classify as tax fraud is punishable with civil penalties.
Tax penalties imposed by the Roanoke Department of Revenue include:
1. Failure to pay tax – 10% of the unpaid tax or $5, whichever is bigger. This is for payments that are required to be remitted electronically but were not.
2. Failure to file a tax return (preparation by the Department) – 20% penalty
3. Failure to file a tax return (with fraudulent intent to evade tax) – 100% penalty
4. Faulty payment (bouncing checks) – $35 flat fee
5. Failure to file information return – $10 penalty for every failure to file a timely return, not exceeding $25,000 in one calendar year. This is also imposed for information returns that are required to be filed electronically but were not.
6. Failure to file a corporate or partnership tax return reporting zero tax liability – $10 penalty for each failure to file a timely return, not exceeding $250 per return
Our lawyers will help find ways so that your penalty will be reduced or even waived entirely. We will personally deal with the tax agency and prove that your tax violations are with no fraudulent intent and you did what you could to fulfill your tax obligations properly.
Settlement of Federal & State Tax Disputes
Different guidelines are imposed on taxpayers depending on their classifications (e.g., resident, non-resident, and businesses). The complexities of the law, as well as personal financial hardship, may lead to the occurrence of various federal and state tax disputes. Fortunately, the entire legal process can be less burdensome with the help of an expert Roanoke tax attorney.
Defense Tax Partners is equipped to represent and defend any individual or business taxpayer during any tax dispute. Whether you are facing accusations, investigations, or litigation from either the federal or state tax authority, our lawyers are well-versed in how tax laws can work in your favor.
We will make sure that your rights as a taxpayer will be thoroughly exercised. More importantly, we will ensure that your case will be properly assessed so that we can come up with a strong and sufficient defense strategy and achieve the most favorable outcome possible.
From preparing the supporting legal documents and finding witnesses to establishing a compelling defense narrative, we will provide you with top-notch legal service that will dismiss your charge, reduce your penalty to the minimum, and negotiate better payment terms for your tax liabilities.
Negotiations on Non-Filing of Taxes Violation
Failure to file your tax returns, not paying your taxes when they’re due, falsifying tax information, or evading your rightful amount of tax can lead to accumulated tax debts and, in worse cases, even criminal charges. Before you end up in prison or forced to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars as penalties in addition to your existing back taxes, proactively deal with the IRS or Roanoke DOR with an expert tax attorney by your side.
By working with Defense Tax Partners as early as possible, we can negotiate on your behalf and reach better settlement terms with the IRS or DOR. We will organize all the necessary documents to support your defense and work to prove that the violation occurred with no fraudulent intent.
We will also ensure that you won’t suffer the maximum penalty and avoid any jail time as much as possible. And if paying your tax liabilities in full will prove to be financially impossible with your current financial status, we can negotiate for a manageable installment agreement or apply for other tax debt relief programs.
