TAX DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Tax considerations touch most aspects of doing business in the United States, and thus providing advice and assistance in tax related matters is an important part of our practice. Our help includes both tax planning and the representation of clients in tax disputes with state and federal governments.
Representation in Tax Disputes & Controversies: If the handling of a tax matter on a taxpayer's income tax return is challenged by either the state or federal taxing authority we represent them from the audit to the appeals process. Our representation occurs both at the administrative level before the agency representatives, as well as in both the Massachusetts Appellate Tax Board and the United States Tax Court. We also represent taxpayer's seeking refunds in the United States District Courts and on appeals to the Federal Circuit Court for the First Circuit.
Liability Consultation: We consult with taxpayers concerning their outstanding tax liabilities and the methods available to address them. In certain cases taxpayers qualify under the Internal Revenue Service's Offer in Compromise program for settlement of their liabilities at a discounted amount. In other situations taxpayers may qualify for abatement of penalties and interest.
