A Message For Business Owners And Professionals
Your accountant may provide you with valuable insights into the operation of your business. But your accountant may not be the best person to represent you in a tax audit or tax dispute. The reason is this: There is only limited accountant-client confidentiality. The tax authorities could gain access to your communications with your accountant or financial adviser. By contrast, any communications between you and me are protected by attorney-client privilege.
We can initiate discussions with the IRS or DOR seeking a solution designed to minimize taxes and resolve the problem. If necessary, we can undertake tax litigation in U.S. Tax Court or state court. We can also pursue a tax appeal on your behalf.
