Tax Attorney/CPA Dedicated to Saving You Money

At the Law Offices of Stephen Kass, our fee structure is designed to align with the specific complexities and resolution needs of your tax situation. We begin with a confidential consultation to thoroughly understand your tax challenges. Following this, we will provide you with a clear and customized quote for the services required to achieve the best possible resolution.

Our rates are competitive and are determined by the scope and intricacies of the work involved. We are committed to offering accessible services while delivering high-caliber legal assistance to effectively resolve your tax issues.

Choosing the right professional to handle your tax issues is crucial. Here are compelling reasons to consider hiring a tax attorney like Stephen Kass:

• Ethical and Legal Standards: As attorneys, we are bound by strict ethical guidelines and legal responsibilities, ensuring you receive professional, confidential, and trustworthy advice. Many tax relief firms may employ non-attorney sales staff who lack the same legal and ethical obligations.

• Comprehensive Expertise: Tax attorneys possess a deep understanding of tax law and the legal processes involved in resolving tax disputes with the IRS and state authorities. This legal expertise is invaluable when navigating complex audits, appeals, and collection actions.

• Direct Attorney-Client Privilege: Communications with a tax attorney are protected by attorney-client privilege, offering a higher level of confidentiality and legal protection compared to communications with non-attorney representatives.

Consider hiring a tax attorney at the Law Offices of Stephen Kass if:

• You owe a substantial amount in back taxes to the IRS or state tax authorities in New York, Miami, or other areas we serve.

• You are currently facing an IRS or state tax audit.

• You have complex tax issues, such as unreported foreign bank accounts or assets.

• Your business has encountered issues with payroll taxes.

• The IRS or state has initiated collection actions against you, such as liens, levies, or wage garnishments.

• You are facing potential criminal tax charges.

• You have a NYS Sales tax issue.

• Your passport is revoked.

• Your NYS drivers license is suspended.

Working with an experienced tax attorney ensures you have skilled legal representation to navigate these intricate matters, significantly reducing the risk of mishandling your case and protecting your rights.

It is often possible to achieve a reduction in your tax balance owed to the IRS or state authorities. At the Law Offices of Stephen Kass, we will thoroughly review your financial situation and explore all available options, which may include:

Submitting an OIC: This allows certain taxpayers to resolve their tax liability with the IRS for a lower amount than what they originally owe.

Appealing the Amount Owed: If you believe there was an error in the assessment of your taxes, we can guide you through the appeals process.

Seeking Innocent Spouse Relief: If your spouse or former spouse improperly reported items or omitted income on a joint return, you may be eligible for relief from the tax liability.

Requesting Abatement of Penalties: We can explore opportunities to have penalties waived or reduced, especially if there was a reasonable cause for the failure to file or pay on time.

Establishing a Monthly Repayment Plan: If a full reduction isn't feasible, we can negotiate a manageable monthly repayment plan with the IRS or state.

Examining the Statute of Limitations: In some cases, tax liabilities may no longer be legally enforceable due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.

If a reduction in your tax balance is not possible, we will work closely with you to develop the most practical and sustainable strategy for managing your tax obligations. This may involve setting up long-term payment arrangements or exploring other available solutions tailored to your specific circumstances.

If you find yourself unable to pay your tax obligations to the IRS or state authorities by the designated deadline, it's vital to take prompt action. At the Law Offices of Stephen Kass, we strongly advise you to consult with an experienced tax attorney who can provide you with clear and personalized guidance on the options available to you. We can help you explore strategies such as requesting an extension, setting up a repayment plan, or exploring other resolutions to mitigate potential penalties and interest. Contacting us as soon as you realize you may have difficulty paying can help you avoid more severe consequences down the line.
