How a Tax Attorney can Help You

Being a responsible taxpayer may not be as easy as everyone would want. There are lots of legal guidelines that may be hard for some to keep up with. Or perhaps, circumstances would prevent you from paying on time, and you’ll end up facing penalties you weren’t financially ready for.

That is why Defense Tax Partners offers our top-tier legal services to lessen your burden. Should you decide to work with our Utah tax attorneys, we can help you file your tax returns so you can ensure that every detail is accurate and both filing and payment are made on time.

More importantly, we will help you reduce your tax bill as much as legally possible—letting you claim all the appropriate reductions and minimize your overall monthly payment.

We will also help you settle all the following taxation issues:

Prepare for and Contest Tax Audits

Receiving a notice of audit from the IRS is not always bad. Their audits are regularly conducted to ensure that taxpayers pay the correct amount. However, even if you can prove that all your submitted data are accurate, the auditing process can still be stressful and time-consuming.

Our tax attorneys can help you prepare for an audit by gathering and examining all your financial records. This way, we can see if there is a discrepancy in your tax returns before the IRS even performed the audit. We can then assist you in preparing for the possible consequences and plan for a negotiation to reduce any penalty as much as possible.

IRS tax audits are commonly triggered by the following:

1. Clerical errors (i.e., data entry errors)
2. Unreported income
3. Disproportionate or unusually high deductions (e.g., charitable donations, business expenses, home office deductions)
4. Non-existent dependents
5. Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
6. Self-employment with excessive reported losses

If the audit results prove unfair, we will represent you in contesting the result and requesting an audit reconsideration. We’ll ensure that you have all the necessary supporting documents to prove that you filed an accurate return or that the mistake was unintentional, so you deserve the minimum penalty.

Civil Penalty Relief

The following tax violations have corresponding penalties imposed by the IRS and the state of Utah:

1. Late filing
2. Late payment and failure to withhold or collect tax as required by law
3. Underpayment of estimated income tax or limited liability entity tax, “LLET” (for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2019)
4. Underpayment or late payment of income tax (estimated) or LLET (for tax years beginning before January 1, 2019)

6. Failure to timely pay or protest tax
7. Failure to timely obtain a required tax identification number, permit, license, or other documents of authority
8. Negligence
9. Fraud
10. Unhonored (bounced) check

Civil penalties will depend on the severity of your violation. However, regardless of how simple or complex your case is, Defense Tax Partners can help you reduce or waive all your penalties. The following are three types of penalty relief solutions that the IRS offers:

1. Reasonable Cause
2. Administrative Waiver and First Time Penalty Abatement
3. Statutory Exception

We will negotiate with the IRS or the Utah State Tax Commission on your behalf. We’ll ensure that all supporting documents are organized and submitted for your penalty relief application. These documents include court records, hospital records, letters from your doctor, documentation of a natural disaster, etc.

Settlement of Federal & State Tax Disputes

Defense Tax Partners can also help you secure a favorable settlement agreement, whether with the IRS or the state of Utah.

Our tax attorneys are all trained and highly experienced when negotiating with tax authorities, regardless of the complexity of your case.

We are already familiar with how the IRS works and are ready with every move or agreement they can make or offer.

Whether you want to minimize your penalties, reduce your tax liabilities, or prove your innocence against a tax fraud allegation, our tax attorney will provide the best legal service that’s tailored to your specific case.

Negotiations on Non-Filing of Taxes Violation

Failure to file and pay your taxes will always result in penalties. And the longer you leave this unattended, the bigger your fines will be. But the good news is, Defense Tax Partners can help minimize your penalties and clear you from any tax evasion charges.

If your failure to file a tax return is unintentional and is purely due to circumstances you cannot prevent, we can negotiate with the IRS and establish reasonable cause. The three most common ways to do this is by proving that:

1. Circumstances beyond your control lead to the accumulation of tax liability,
2. Your actions have been reasonable, and you tried your best to accurately fulfill your tax obligations in a timely manner,
3. And/or you will experience immediate, undue financial hardship if the penalties are strictly enforced.

To best mitigate the situation, immediately taking action and acquiring our help is the most appropriate step. However, if the situation has already progressed into a tax evasion investigation, rest assured that our tax attorneys are more than ready to defend you before the court proactively.
