IRS Tax Audits and Appeals
If the IRS is auditing your business or individual income tax return, Mr. Burkhalter examines your books to determine your potential exposure to additional taxes or penalties. As a licensed CPA, he can readily organize, review and even reconstruct records in advance of the audit. He also mounts an effective appeal of any unfavorable finding, justifying deductions and other IRS objections to soften the tax hit.
IRS Tax Resolutions and Tax Litigation
If you have not filed taxes, or the company failed to collect and pay employment taxes, Tab Burkhalter can prepare historical returns to bring you into compliance. He intervenes with the IRS to arrange a structured payment plan for back taxes, or negotiates an offer in compromise to satisfy your tax debt according to your ability to pay. We often get penalties and interest waived or reduced in the process.
When the IRS won't move off its stance, we are prepared to argue your position in U.S. Tax Court or U.S. District Court. This includes criminal charges of tax evasion or tax fraud. Mr. Burkhalter will work to defend clients on Trust Fund penalties, offshore investments, failure to file and other alleged misconduct.
Our attorney's extensive knowledge of tax law and strong background in business law enables us to confidently respond and protect your interests in any IRS tax controversy. Call 865-238-4103 to schedule an appointment, including situations requiring an urgent response.
