Advantages of Hiring A Lawyer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tax law can be confusing. Even professional tax preparers like certified public accountants (CPA) won\u2019t fully know the intricacies of tax law. Most tax specialists focus on one particular area of tax law and specialize in it. If you\u2019re undergoing an audit, the person most qualified to give advice is a lawyer who specializes in audit defense. The IRS recognizes the taxpayer\u2019s right to have representation. In fact, it\u2019s one principle under the taxpayer\u2019s bill of rights.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appearance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One advantage of having a representative is that you don\u2019t have to personally appear before the IRS unless you\u2019re specifically summoned. This means that you\u2019ll have more time to attend to your business and monitor it. Time, after all, is one of the most precious things in the world. If you hire a representative like a tax lawyer, you won\u2019t have to close shop for the day just so you can make it to a meeting with the IRS agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Communication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another advantage of hiring a tax attorney is that all communication<\/a> with the IRS will go through your lawyer. There\u2019s no risk that you\u2019ll miss the notice from the IRS<\/a>. You wouldn\u2019t have to worry about checking your mail and anxiously waiting for a response from the IRS regarding your request. Furthermore, having a tax lawyer fighting on your side means that you\u2019ll have advice and guidance regarding the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location For Meetings with the IRS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a business owner who\u2019s been selected for a field audit, your lawyer can request for the meeting to take place in their firm\u2019s office instead of your regular place of business. This ensures that your business won\u2019t be interrupted by the auditor and it also lessens the risks involved for you as the owner. Agents will be prone to snoop around your business premises if the audit takes place there, and they might even interview your workers or customers about your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigate Tax Liability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the most important advantage of hiring a lawyer is that they can make sure that you don\u2019t overpay. Lawyers can help clients secure tax abatement programs and tax resolution options such as offers in compromise, delayed payment, and not collectible status<\/a>. Each of these relief programs will be discussed briefly below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having a tax liability is an enormous burden, but there are ways to address it. A good tax lawyer who fights for you and protects your interest will make the process easier and enhance your chances of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offers In Compromise and Installment Payment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An offer in compromise<\/a> is one form of tax relief that taxpayers can utilize under certain conditions. Offers in compromise are a viable tax resolution strategy when the taxpayer can only afford to pay a certain portion of the debt, but not all of it. It\u2019s a form of settlement where the IRS agrees to reduce the total tax liability in exchange for prompt and full payment. In order to qualify for an offer in compromise, the amount offered must not be lesser than the taxpayer\u2019s reasonable collection potential<\/em> (RCP) and the taxpayer must meet the other personal qualifications under the law. A taxpayer is said to be qualified to apply for an RCP if the following are true:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
