Do You Need a Tax Attorney? Here's What You Should Know

What Does a Tax Attorney Do?

A tax attorney is a licensed legal professional who focuses on tax law. Their role often involves advising clients on complex tax-related legal matters and representing them in court if a case escalates to litigation or involves criminal tax charges.

Typical services a tax attorney provides include:

Representing clients before the IRS and state tax agencies
This includes handling audits, responding to notices, and negotiating on behalf of clients during disputes with the IRS or state tax boards.
Handling tax disputes and appeals
Tax attorneys can help file appeals if you disagree with an IRS decision, such as an audit finding or collection action.
Negotiating tax settlements or installment agreements
Attorneys may help clients settle back taxes through Offer in Compromise or set up long-term payment plans with the IRS.
Assisting with unfiled returns and compliance issues
They can guide clients through getting current with overdue tax filings and staying compliant moving forward.
Defending clients in court (for civil or criminal charges)
If your case involves tax fraud, evasion, or potential criminal liability, a tax attorney can represent you in court.
