5 Reasons to Consider Me as Your Tax Lawyer
1) I am a 20+ year Attorney, Former IRS agent, Retired CPA, and national speaker on tax problems. I handle serious business tax matters, with IRS tax debt greater than $100,000. I also handle tax audits and investigations with legal issues or "sensitive" facts.
2) My fees are affordable, and realistic. As your tax lawyer, I am sensitive your financial situation.
3) My specific services include:
• Settlements for Business, Payroll and Sales Taxes
• Release of IRS Levy on Business Bank Accounts
• Representation in IRS Criminal Investigations
• Audit Challenges in the U.S. Tax Court
• Tax from Death, Divorce, Sale or Loss of Business
4) I know that good communication matters to you. I prefer to keep my clients updated. I am easy to speak with, and enjoy returning your calls and emails. CPAs and tax accountants trust me to help their clients with IRS tax cases. But also, I will not allow the IRS or state to speak with you.
5) I serve clients across the U.S., and am licensed to practice at the U.S. Tax Court, multiple federal courts, and the State of Illinois. I also do virtual meetings and court hearings.

- Q. My cousin just took over her mom's house, who recently died. The IRS has a tax lein on it. Income taxes were never paid.
- A: The Federal Tax Lien is a legal tool the IRS uses to help secure and enable tax collection. Liens and other "security instruments" direct third parties to first use any proceeds (cash) from transactions to satisfy (pay-off) the associated debt.
However, not all lens are enforceable. Also, liens are not typically used to manage or control the use of any property that is subject to the Lien. These facts, as presented, seem to be a misunderstanding of the IRS's actual control of the property.
Perhaps there are more details to consider. I think your family would immediately benefit from consulting with a tax attorney that handles IRS collection problems.
- Q. Are shareholders, directors, & officers of a DE corporation personably liable for unpaid income taxes?
- A: No, shareholders are not liable. Not really.
One of the benefits of corporate structure is the limitation of thÿe company's lability. A shareholder will only be "liable" for corporate income tax up the amount of their investment in the company. That invested part represents the amount the Shareholder's loss, if the company failed.
- Q. My adult son bought my house, but not all of the acreage. What is the best way , for taxes, to give it to him.
- A: If you are both patient, then will it to your son upon your death. This way, it passes to him without any negative tax consequences. It also allows you to avoid maintaining annual gifting transactions, accounting, and professional fees. Again, patience is key. If this does not fit your plans for the land, then refer to James L Arrasmith's answer.
