TAX REPRESENTATION
Before the
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE
and the
FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE

When you are confronted with the Internal Revenue Service and the Florida Department of Revenue (“FDOR”) and their arsenal of collection powers, we can advise, assist and represent you through the maze of Federal and State laws and regulations and proceedings, including the following:

• Offers in Compromise
• Tax Penalties and Interest abatement
• Release Garnishments and Seizures
• Negotiated Payment Plans
• IRS and FDOR Seizures, Levies, Liens & Warrants
• Tax Audits
• 100% Penalty Assessment Proceedings

We can provide advice and representation at every stage of any proceeding with and before the taxing agency from pre-audit, during the audit, and post-audit through administrative review as well having the know how and capability to obtain a second bite of the apple for you if you come to see us after you have received a adverse decision in the audit and even after the taxing agency has assessed the taxes, penalty and interest by the filing of a reorganization bankruptcy case wherein it is possible in most cases:

• to retain your home, business and assets while being able to re-litigate the issues before an objective U.S. Bankruptcy Judge who can make the taxing agency prove your liability for the taxes and for the amounts of taxes, penalties and interest allegedly owed and this is possible even after the taxing agency has concluded the audit and assessed the taxes, penalties and interest, and

• to remove recorded undersecured tax liens and warrants as encumbrances on real property and personal property and to also remove them from the public records, and

• to stop the closure of businesses and the seizure of assets and the levy on bank accounts, and

• to force the taxing agency to take payments of the taxes owed over a five year period while the agency is not able to harass you or disrupt your business by levies, etc., and in most cases you only have to pay a small percentage of the tax penalties and the amount that you do not pay is discharged and does not have to be paid and in some cases, you do not have to pay interest on the tax during the 5 year payment plan, and

• to be able to discharge the liability of owing and having to pay most taxes if they are old
