Choosing the right Tax Attorney

by Draven Jack

Most everyone knows the old adage about the certainty of death and taxes but many fail to understand that tax laws are constantly changing. It isn't difficult to find yourself facing the Internal Revenue Service for failure to pay all the taxes they believe you owe. Your ignorance of a change in tax laws isn't going to hold much water when faced with tax evasion. The best way to avoid a showdown with the dreaded Internal Revenue Service is to enlist the expertise of a tax attorney.

Although a tax lawyer is not an accountant and is seldom involved in the process of filing your taxes with the IRS, they can be invaluable in helping you to avoid future tax pitfalls that could draw the attention of the Internal Revenue Service. They are not only committed to keeping up with the ever-changing tax laws, they are also adept in offering advice when setting up your business, trust funds, stock portfolios, etc. Why risk the possibility of future tax problems when they can be avoided by enlisting a tax expert?

If you have inadvertently slipped into the black hole of an Internal Revenue Service audit, you definitely need a tax attorney to guide you back to the light. Attempting to fight this battle alone would be extremely irrational; you are going to require all the help you can get to go up against the most feared branch of the Federal Government.

The IRS should never be considered your friend, especially when they think you owe them money. Their sole purpose is to extract every penny they believe you owe and they are committed to accomplishing their mission by whatever means is necessary. They have the power to seize your business and personal assets, lever fines on the amount you owe and even send you to jail. With friends like that, who needs enemies?

The Internal Revenue Service is not concerned with your excuses, as they have already heard every excuse under the sun. They are not there to protect your rights either; plus, they are experts in the art of intimidation and will have no problem in prosecuting you for tax evasion if you are foolish enough to face them alone.

Unless you are intent on disaster, it would be wise to employ the services of a professional Tax Attorney who has experience in tax laws, litigation and negotiations with the IRS. They will be able to protect your rights and possibly negotiate a workable solution for you.
