It is true that a taxpayer who is dealing with the Internal Revenue Service or with the state department of revenue, will probably not feel the need of hiring an attorney, but he/she should be aware of the fact that the tax law in the United States of America is complicated enough as to require the intervention of a tax attorney.

Hiring an attorney is a great means of saving yourself the trouble of going through the entire process of analyzing the intricacies of the American tax law, a law that, apart from being very tricky in some cases, it also requires much care and attention when calculating the sum that is owed to the state. All this trouble can be removed simply by hiring a good attorney.

What does a financial attorney do? A tax lawyer is specialized in the dealing with such financial problems as the troubles made by the IRS or by the state department of revenue.

The tax attorneys are not supposed to take care of the more complicated issues that are connected with the legal tax system, but they are usually working with the tax issues and relief. To be more precise, hiring an attorney means having a person work for you in order to help you resolve an audit, to reduce the fines that you received, to remove the liens, to become more acquainted with the tricks of the tax issues related to the opening of a business (be it small or large) or to the self-employment.

Hiring an attorney becomes a necessity in the case of the owners of small business because what a tax lawyer do in such a situation is to prevent the appearance of any financial issues right before they even present any sign of emergence. The tax attorney thus becomes as important as the accountant in the firm.

The financial attorney is therefore the person who does not only foresee the potential financial troubles, but he/she is also able to offer advice to the small business owner in order to help him/her remove the peril. The tax attorney thus becomes not only a lawyer who represents the client who is facing tax issues, but also an adviser and a friend. A good tax attorney will offer the best advice in accordance with the new modifications of the U.S. tax law, thus helping the client avoid any expensive legal costs.

When hiring a tax attorney, it is very important to look for quality information on the person you will be working with. The attorney has to be experienced in financial issues, in the cases of debts, and in working with real live taxpayers. References on a certain tax lawyer are equally important as the experience of the attorney.

Since the IRS problems evolve in time and cause serious problems as the years go by, hiring a tax attorney becomes a necessity that can remove from infancy the tax issues.

“He who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client.”  — ancient proverb

Going against the IRS without a tax lawyer is like riding buck naked in a motocross race, you probably won’t win and if you crash, the results could be fatal.

As a tax resolution specialist for the past 10+ years, I have my obvious bias. At TRS, we are a team of highly specialized tax resolution experts including  tax attorneys , CPAs, EAs (enrolled agent tax experts) and others who have been providing income tax help for a combined 150 years of experience. We have helped provide IRS tax relief for people who have tax problems with back taxes, late filing, tax fraud, theft (from Madoff and other Ponzi schemes) and more. We have seen the substantial tax relief success our team can bring. We’ve also seen the disasters that strike those who dare to go solo.

Those who decide to fight the IRS by themselves may be motivated by misinformation. Tax resolution complaints are on the rise, as are outright tax resolution scams (official looking IRS snail mail or email that not only steal your identity but also tricks some victims into writing big checks to the “tax resolution firm”). Tin foil hat conspiracy theorists claim that the whole tax resolution industry is nothing but a giant tax relief scam. They say the IRS works for you, the people, and the IRS has your best interests at heart.  You can beat an IRS audit, they say, with the free tax help the IRS provides. If you believe that, I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you.

So with all those caveats aside, if you are bound and determined to fight the law without a safety net, here are a few tips.

Remember that free tax help that the IRS provides?  You get what you pay for here. There’s the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service: www.irs.gov/advocate/index.html. They won’t help you in an audit except to tell you who your auditor is and how it is progressing. If you think you’ve been treated unfairly by the IRS, these are the folks you complain to. Remember that these bureaucrats say they are on your side, but ultimately the government writes their paychecks. They have no real economic incentive to make sure you win. A tax lawyer does.

The IRS web site is a mess when it comes to finding tips on how to survive an audit. The best publication to get you started is IRS Publication 556: www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p556.pdf. If you feel confused by this IRS document, you’re not alone. Making sense of “IRS help documents” is what keeps tax attorneys in business. Tax lawyers can drastically change the tax resolution you get from your IRS audit.

You can find a lot of advice on how to survive an IRS audit online.  Nolo.com has a very good (if slightly flawed) taxes and audit section Here you’ll get solid tax advice like:

Don’t answer unless asked. Give the auditor no more information than she is entitled to, and don’t talk any more during the audit than is absolutely necessary. Don’t give copies of other years’ tax returns to the auditor. In fact, don’t bring to an audit any documents that do not pertain to the year under audit, or were not specifically requested by the audit notice.

Know your rights. Browse IRS Publication 1, explaining the Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights, prior to your audit. If the audit is not going well, demand a recess to consult a tax pro. Ask to speak to the auditor’s manager if you think the auditor is treating you unfairly. If the subject of tax fraud comes up during an audit, don’t try to handle it yourself.

Appeal the results. When you get the examination report, call the auditor if you don’t understand or agree with it. Meet with her or her manager to see if you can reach a compromise. If you can’t live with an audit result, you may appeal within the IRS or go on to tax court.

Roy Lewis at  Motley Fool likens going into an IRS audit without a tax lawyer to “removing your own appendix,” but he offers a few nuggets of IRS advice including:



Organize your records.
Making the auditor’s job easier will win you some points. The auditor will at least believe that you’re an organized person and that all of your items are documented and justified. Don’t be afraid to group the items in question, or attach an adding-machine tape that matches the tax return. That will allow the auditor to quickly review the important issues. Don’t believe those who tell you that you can just throw your records in a bag, drop it on the auditor’s desk, and shout, “You figure it out!” That just doesn’t work. Remember, it’s your legal responsibility to prove your deductions.



Replace missing records.
If you’re going through your records and find that some of them are missing, call for duplicates immediately. Don’t just go to the audit and claim that the records are missing or lost. That does you no good at all. At best, the auditor will request that you obtain the records. At worst, the deduction in question will be denied, since there are no supporting documents.



Provide only copies.
Don’t bring original documents to the audit. If you do bring originals, do not give them to the agent. Request that the agent make copies and give the originals back to you. Once you hand over your original documents, there’s a very good chance that they will be misplaced or lost. Then you’re the one left holding the bag, since the IRS isn’t responsible for documents lost in its possession.

The most detailed IRS audit advice comes from CFPs and CPAs. For example in this article (http://www.unclefed.com/AuthorsRow/GretaHicks/audit.html) Greta P. Hicks, CPA offers a detailed approach on how to prepare for the four types of audits the IRS performs.

Even Microsoft has better advice for businesses on surviving an audit than the IRS does.

Bottom line, when you battle the IRS who do you want in your corner? Someone (you) who is facing the IRS for the first time, or someone who has been winning against them for decades?

If a layman attempts to go through this process without proper expert representation, their Offer in Compromise will not only get rejected but they will end up owing the IRS more money (in additional accruing penalties and interest) than when they started the process. Remember that the IRS is the most brutal collection agency on the planet.

At TRS, we encourage our clients to do themselves and their loved ones a favor by exercising their right to have expert representation before the IRS. From our 150 plus years of combined experience, we know that waiting only makes matters worse. Once we are retained by a client, we take over all communication with the IRS.

The cash you “save” by not hiring a reputable tax attorney may be the most expensive money in your life. And you may have a long time to consider the cost of going it alone as you write big checks to the government for the rest of your life or worse yet, repenting at leisure while you’re pumping your biceps in the prison yard. It’s your call.

Currently the taxation landscape in Australia is in a state of great flux. Although legislation is constantly being updated a comprehensive review of this whole area has not been carried out. The whole area is unnecessarily complex and both the Australian Taxation Office and the courts have been left to do the best they can to provide meaningful interpretations of the law in this area. As sometimes happens there is a divergence between the two views and the ATO has come in for strident criticism as to the manner in which it has sought to impose its view on taxpayers contrary to the findings of both the Federal and High Courts.

Accountants are the masters of tax compliance and are the gatekeepers of the taxation system. Unfortunately the very nature of the compliance programs which are they forced to serve make life difficult for them. In recent years many firms have moved up-market into comprehensive tax planning whilst audit activity by the ATO all but dropped out of sight. As this occurred a number of promoters pushing so-called tax effective schemes including everything from tea tree oil plantations to emu farming burst onto the Australian taxation scene. Many of these promoters had either a finance or accounting background and pushed the legitimacy of their arrangements mainly to accountants and their clients.

As matters would have it both the government and the ATO realised that there was a threat to the revenue and something needed to be done. Michael Carmody, former Commissioner for Taxation, started to tighten up on audit activity as Phillip Egglishaw from Strachans increased his involvement in Australia as well as overseas. Interestingly by this time many professionals considered that the most effective form of tax planning was tax evasion given the laxity of audit activity by the ATO. A number of professionals were pushing the idea that if the taxpayer evaded their tax then at worst all they would have to do is pay part of it and tell the ATO to go away by cracking hardy and refusing to pay penalties and interest. Often this tactic worked brilliantly for the taxpayer but there has been a quantum shift which is rapidly readdressing this imbalance.

The Gerard case was a great embarrassment to both the Government and the ATO and other authorities serving the tax system. In that case the tax liability of the taxpayer was substantially compromised with the only real fallout for the taxpayer being that he lost his seat on the Reserve Bank of Australia. Whilst this matter was proceeding Phillip Egglishaw came to prominence in the Australian press when his Melbourne hotel room was raided by the Australian Crime Commission in February 2004. Various documents together with his laptop computer were seized and although the information was alleged to have been deleted or encrypted and safe from the probing eyes of the authorities approximately 97% of it has been recovered, becoming the centrepiece of the one of the most widespread and thorough taxation investigations ever mounted in this country including the infamous bottom of the harbour schemes. While all of this was going on the Ronan matter erupted. Ida and her two sons were found guilty of a $15M tax fraud. It was one of the longest most keenly fought criminal trials in New South Wales leading to a guilty verdict and the incarceration of all three even though Ida was 71 years old. Mrs Ronan was sentenced to imprisonment for 8 years 6 months from the 28th January 2005 with a non-parole period of 4 years 6 months to expire on 27th July 2009. Each of her sons was sentenced to 8 years 6 months from the 28th January 2005 with a non-parole period of 5 years 6 months to expire on the 27th July 2010. It is understood that the ignominity of their circumstances was further exacerbated by having to pay legal fees for an amount similar to their taxation liability perhaps as much as $17M.

Recently the press has covered the names of a number of individuals who are of interest to the ATO and in some cases to the authorities including Michael Brereton, a prominent Melbourne taxation lawyer; Paul Hogan; John Cornell; the Hargraves brothers and Daniel Aran Stotan, company directors of the Gold Coast; and Dale Kathleen Wright, a Brisbane divorcee claiming $210 week in government benefits after allegedly secretly depositing $1.5M in offshore accounts. We know from the press that these are not the only persons who are of concern to the Australian Taxation Office, the Australian and Federal Police and the Australian Crime Commission. The heightened prominence of these investigations and the amount of press that they are receiving is indicative of a change in sentiment by the Australian Taxation Office to ensure that all tax evaders are caught wherever possible and that tax evasion no longer remains the preferred mechanism for tax planning. The Tax Office is targeting promoters, participants and professionals. It is looking for prominent people whom it can make an example of and where appropriate refer them to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions for criminal prosecution and gaol.

What does the future hold for non-complying taxpayers who entered into arrangements via their professional advisers with promoters either in Australian or overseas through tax havens or something similar in order to minimise their tax where those arrangements are not subject to any form of foreign tax and have no underlying tax rationale which effectively legitimates them? In today’s environment the taxpayer, whether as a person, company, trust or any other structure will fall foul of Part IVA of the Anti Avoidance provisions of the ITAA1936. The consequences are serious and they involve paying the full amount of the omitted tax, penalties and interest including the confiscation of assets under the Proceeds of Crime legislation and a prison term for a substantial number of years at least similar to the Ronans or as circumstances would have it for even longer periods of time. It should not be forgotten that with taxation offences the law provides for periods of imprisonment for up to 10 years and where money laundering is involved for periods of incarceration up to 20 years. There are very few taxation advisers who have a comprehensive knowledge of tax as the vast majority of the work is serviced by accountants who mainly attend to compliance matters. Apart from this there are only a few accountants and lawyers who practice exclusively in this area and no tax accountant can offer any form of professional advice about the criminal consequences of tax evasion. As for the remainder there are very few tax lawyers who either have a comprehensive knowledge of the operation of the criminal law in this area and/or the experience which goes with dealing with the Australian Federal Police, the Australian Crime Commission and the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions. The wrong advice may not only cost the taxpayer their livelihood but also their liberty.

FACT: The IRS reports that tax evasion is a widespread problem that grows each year costing the government an estimated $350 billion in unpaid taxes and creating a tax gap that grows by 10% each year.

FACT: The additional tax burden falls on shoulders of honest Americans.

FACT: Public services that are supported by tax dollars are affected as well.

FACT: Buying into tax evasion schemes can and will be costly, either in civil or criminal penalties or both, even imprisonment.

The Internal Revenue Service has identified small business and sole proprietorship owners as the largest contributors to the tax gap. Without significant investigations, there is no way for the government to control skimming or non-reported income by individuals who are self-employed or run small businesses.

While there are huge tax evasion activities happening all over the world, it has been estimated that the United States Government has collected roughly $350 billion less than it is owed by American taxpayers. We’re already seeing the IRS cracking down on both small businesses and individuals who evade their taxes with an increase in  tax audits and aggressive collection tactics, including bank levies.

Tax evasion is not to be confused with tax avoidance. The biggest difference? One is legal, the other is a crime. Tax avoidance is when someone works within existing laws to pay the least amount of taxes that the IRS says are due. Tax evasion, on the other hand, is when someone intentionally works outside of existing laws by not paying the taxes that are owed to the IRS.

And you don’t have to be a tax lawyer to know the red flags that cause the IRS to suspect tax evasion. If you intentionally fail to report your business cash receipts, including checks that are cashed at the maker’s bank, the IRS has specific audit programs that will investigate this activity. Also, if the amount of income reported on your tax return far exceeds the previous year’s – you will be flagged as suspect! Additionally, if you are one of those “do-gooders”  that helps others to file fraudulent tax returns and accept payment for this… that could be a problem.

Tax evasion encompasses any cheating of the government in taxes. Tax evasion is a felony and can carry up to a 5-year prison sentence and/or IRS penalties up to $100,000. Even in the current enforcement climate, taxpayers can learn how to save money by taking advantage of legal tax deductions to reduce their IRS bill. Additionally, anyone who owes  back taxes or is being audited by the IRS will need to know that there are options for negotiating a tax resolution. Working with a tax resolution specialist or  tax lawyer can greatly increase your chances of successfully resolving your IRS tax problems. However, it’s important to be informed in the first place so you can avoid becoming a target of aggressive IRS collection efforts that can financially cripple you for life.

Offshore companies in Costa Rica are useful for many reasons.  One of the main benefits is that tax free interest many be earned by cash assets held offshore. Individuals and corporations use offshore companies to protect and hold assets like stocks, bonds, cash etc.

 

Offshore companies in Costa Rica provide privacy, potential for tax free income on investment and rarely have fees encountered with traditional finance institutions.

Taken in whole, all these benefits add up to more available cash for investment.

Offshore venture capitalists register trademarks in Costa Rica. This gives them the legal right to make franchise or license agreements utilizing the rights world wide. Income earned from these arrangements accumulates in offshore companies where the tax structure allows for low, if any taxation. Any patent, copyright (intellectual property including computer software and technical knowledge) or trademark can be assigned to or owned by an offshore corporation.

Another creative use for offshore companies in Costa Rica is the trading of goods. By buying at low cost from one country, an offshore company in Costa Rica can resell the goods at a higher price. The tax free profits are deposited into offshore companies in Costa Rica.

 

Real estate holdings offshore companies are useful to avoid local inheritance taxes and to eliminate capital gains tax. Real estate holdings offshore companies in Costa Rica neutralize succession laws in force in countries where law dictates heirship.

 

Obviously, offshore companies in Costa Rica are a very complex, intricate subject. Most of us are not sophisticated enough to venture into this arena without benefit of a tax lawyer in Costa Rica to help us effectively and legally make use of Costa Rican offshore companies.

 

It is interesting to note that many of the websites found when searching for tax lawyers in Costa Rica, are actually based in the US. The US tax structure has resulted in large amounts of Americans utilizing the tax structure of Costa Rica and taking advantage of the benefits of incorporation and offshore incorporation in Costa Rica. Face it, it is much more profitable to deal in offshore investments in Costa Rica than to have capital gain and inheritance tax on top of income tax as in the US.

 

One purpose of the tax lawyer in Costa Rica is to help set up offshore trusts, corporations and individual accounts. Other responsibilities of the tax lawyer in Costa Rica are to set up and help implement strategies both short and long term and to pursue every legal avenue available to exploit tax savings.

 

You cannot effectively operate with offshore companies in Costa Rica with out a tax lawyer in Costa Rica to guide you every step of the way. Without benefit of a tax lawyer in Costs Rica, chances of avoiding tax trouble are slim.

When the need for a lawyer arises, it is important to be able to find a good lawyer who is knowledgeable in the area that is required and has a good reputation. Many people would prefer to find a local lawyer whether it is a Maryland lawyer, a New York lawyer or a Kentucky lawyer. A lawyer search can be an overwhelming and often frightening task for anyone who has never needed a lawyer before. Personal, business and criminal problems can arise for almost anyone at any time. From finding a Maryland lawyer to finding a Californian lawyer, there are some different ways a person can find a lawyer that will best suit their needs.

When looking for a lawyer in any state, it is necessary to determine what kind of lawyer will be needed. There are a number of different types of law that lawyers specialize in including family law, real estate law, estate law, family law, criminal law and many other types of law. Sometimes it might be difficult to begin a lawyer search when the issue doesn’t clearly fall into a particular category. It is a good idea to make a few calls to see what type of attorney would handle that specific case before continuing with a lawyer search.

Once the type of lawyer that is needed is clear, it is time to make a list of the lawyers that are in the area who deal with a particular matter from a local phone book. Once the list is compiled, ask friends, family and professionals if they have had any experience with a particular lawyer and if it was a favorable one. If that particular attorney is on the lawyer search list, he or she might be one of the first ones that are contacted. Next, if the local search is not going very well, there are a number of search web sites on the Internet that a person can use to find an attorney that will suit his or her needs. Sometimes individual states have their own lawyer search web sites. Maryland, for instance, has a web site available for anyone who needs the services of a Maryland lawyer.

Many California tax lawyers understand the importance of building a diverse workforce. The changing demographics within the United States have signaled to firms that diversity is an important goal that will affect the firms viability and ultimately the bottom line. In response, many firms have launched diversity recruitment efforts designed to bring more women and attorneys of color into the firm. The problem has been that within a few years of being hired attorneys that qualify as diversity leave the firm in search of more inclusive, diverse and culturally competent work environments. Below are some critical reasons why attempts at creating diversity have failed.

Lack of commitment at the top: In order for diversity initiatives to succeed, there must be vigorous support for it at the senior level of the firm or organization. Partners are the change agents of the firm. Committees formed to address issues of diversity, recruitment, retention and cultural competence must be lead by key leaders within the tax law firm.

Failure to assess the firm’s environment: Assessment is critical in helping to create and implement an effective diversity initiative plan. It is critically important to understand an organizations level of development before launching a diversity or cultural competence initiative. Firms must be prepared to assess their hiring practices, overall culture, interpersonal relationships, views about diversity and promotion practices

Over emphasis on recruitment and hiring: Relying on recruitment as a primary means of creating diversity will prove to be an ineffective strategy. Instead, recruitment is simply an initial step in the overall process. Tax law firms must ensure that their work environment can support a diverse staff. Next, firm-wide, culturally effective systems and practices must be implemented in order to prevent excessive attrition among women and attorneys of color. Retention and development of a strong and diverse pool of attorneys depends upon the firms ability to create a work environment that values and leverages difference, mentors cross culturally and consistently measures and monitors the progress and development of all California tax attorneys.

Failure to include diversity objectives in the organizations strategic plan: Many firms fail to include diversity goals into the firms overall vision and plan for growth and development. Organizational change is a process and in order to successfully reach objectives related to diversity, goals must be included in the firms strategic plan. Firms successful in building a diverse workforce have implemented specific strategies in the areas of hiring, retention, professional development, communication, promotion, mentoring etc.

Ignoring the importance of training and development: Cultural competence and diversity training with a focus on building awareness and alliances vs. blaming and shaming is critical to creating a productive, diverse and inclusive workforce. Staff must have the opportunity to explore current views and misconceptions around issues of inclusiveness, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion and individuals with physical challenges. Failing to link training and development with firm-wide diversity objectives will result in the firms inability to build an inclusive and diverse organization.

Cultural Incompetence: Many tax lawyers firms communicate a desire to build an inclusive and diverse work environment yet they still place a high value on sameness. Whether consciously or subconsciously this value for sameness is communicated to others in the firm. Instead, firms need to develop a high level of cultural competency.

There had been once a song about fighting the law and losing. Luckily, struggling the IRS is possible and sometimes unavoidable. It’s important to find the right New York tax laywer.

 Fighting the IRS There arrives a time when many New Yorkers must take action against the IRS. The IRS can come down swiftly and without mercy against  New York taxpayers for issues from easy mistakes to genuine tax evasion. When such a situation happens, typically in the shape of an audit and followed by possible Fed prosecution, it becomes important to face up to the IRS. As many tax gurus will tell you, knowing the right steps to do and doing things the right way can essentially make struggling the IRS turn out to be a particularly valuable thing. Each year, fair, tax-paying New York citizens worry that their tax return will finish up being checked by the IRS. In reality, the quantity of audits has increased quite noticeably in recent times, lending its hand even further to the worry and stress. Audits can end up in major charges and even criminal prosecution. Unnecessary to assert, such a situation can become repellent awfully swiftly. many New York citizens don’t understand that they can fight the IRS with a New York tax lawyer. And, not only are they able to fight, but often times they can appear with some kind of victory. In reality, up to date research has demonstrated that over 41% of American citizens who took their cases to the IRS’s appeals division won at least some amount of relief, while others had their penalties wiped out fully.

Not only this, but numerous numbers of other New York citizens have fought cases against the IRS in district courts and also was revealed as the winner. What this suggests for the average American is that the IRS should not worry you too much.

 

Glaringly , an audit can be very frightening and can happen at any point. so long as you probably did file your taxes in truth, they’re many venues you can look to for help. Just perform a little research, online, and find a good tax barrister to represent you. Whatever steps you take, don’t talk to the IRS yourself. Your statements are proof against you and you will inadvertently provide proof the IRS has no right to get. You’ll be stunned at your own probabilities of defeating the IRS and having your penalties reduced or eliminated. Struggling the IRS is something that will turn out to be a particularly valuable tool for many New Yorkers  hunting for tax relief.

When the need for a lawyer arises, it is important to be able to find a good lawyer who is knowledgeable in the area that is required and has a good reputation. Many people would prefer to find a local lawyer whether it is a Maryland lawyer, a New York lawyer or a Kentucky lawyer. A lawyer search can be an overwhelming and often frightening task for anyone who has never needed a lawyer before. Personal, business and criminal problems can arise for almost anyone at any time. From finding a Maryland lawyer to finding a Californian lawyer, there are some different ways a person can find a lawyer that will best suit their needs.

When looking for a lawyer in any state, it is necessary to determine what kind of lawyer will be needed. There are a number of different types of law that lawyers specialize in including family law, real estate law, estate law, family law, criminal law and many other types of law. Sometimes it might be difficult to begin a lawyer search when the issue doesn’t clearly fall into a particular category. It is a good idea to make a few calls to see what type of attorney would handle that specific case before continuing with a lawyer search.

Once the type of lawyer that is needed is clear, it is time to make a list of the lawyers that are in the area who deal with a particular matter from a local phone book. Once the list is compiled, ask friends, family and professionals if they have had any experience with a particular lawyer and if it was a favorable one. If that particular attorney is on the lawyer search list, he or she might be one of the first ones that are contacted. Next, if the local search is not going very well, there are a number of search web sites on the Internet that a person can use to find an attorney that will suit his or her needs. Sometimes individual states have their own lawyer search web sites. Maryland, for instance, has a web site available for anyone who needs the services of a Maryland lawyer.
