We are professional tax firm comprised of tax attorneys, tax lawyers, certified Public accounts, and former IRS agents managers and tax instructors.
We have over 206 years of professional tax experience and over 60 years of working directly for the Internal Revenue Service.
As former IRS agents we worked and taught out of the Atlanta regional training office.
Due to years of experience at Internal Revenue Service we know all the systems in the tax protocol to get you affordable tax relief when it comes to any IRS tax problem that you have.
From a simple IRS notice or letter to going to the Tax Court we handle all IRS and state tax resolution matters.
We are A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau at a better practice since 1982.
Do you need a immediate Release of a Tax Levy
If you need an immediate release of an IRS tax Levy you will need to fill out a 433-F and you can find that IRS financial statement directly on our website.
You will need to completely document the financial statement.
IRS will want the last six months worth the bank statements, and a copy of your last pay stub. You’ll need to make sure all your tax returns are filed, current, and up-to-date.
As a general rule, we can get levies released within 24 hours once we have our clients fully documented financial statement. We can also work out a tax settlement at the same time.
Tax settlements usually come in three forms.
IRS will generally after reviewing the current financial statement will place you into an economic tax hardship, enter into a monthly installment agreement, or recommend a tax settlement called an offer in compromise.
To learn more about the offer in compromise simply review that section of our website.
Do you need IRS audit representation
The Internal Revenue Service audits less than 1% of all taxpayers.
However if you have won the audit lottery contact us today and speak directly to a former IRS agent who can review the request made by IRS and set up your best possible tax defense to minimize any damage in IRS tax audit could possibly do.
Offer in Compromise/Tax Settlements
An offer in compromise allows you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount you owe.
It may be a legitimate option if you can’t pay your full tax liability, or doing so creates a financial hardship. We consider your unique set of facts and circumstances:
1. Ability to pay;
2. Income;
3. Expenses; and
4. Asset equity.
IRS generally approve an offer in compromise when the amount offered represents the most we can expect to collect within a reasonable period of time.
Make sure you are eligible for a tax settlements
Before we can consider your offer, you must be current with all filing and payment requirements.
You are not eligible if you are in an open bankruptcy proceeding.

Tax Mistakes to Avoid
CHECK THESE OUT TO HELP STOP COMMON MISTAKES.
You can avoid most tax return errors by using IRS e-file.
People who do their taxes on paper are about 20 times more likely to make an error than e-filers. IRS e-file is the most accurate way to file your tax return.
Common tax-filing errors to avoid:
1. Wrong or missing Social Security numbers.
Be sure you enter all SSNs on your tax return exactly as they are on the Social Security cards.
2. Wrong names.
Be sure you spell the names of everyone on your tax return exactly as they are on their Social Security cards.
3. Filing status errors. HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD, MOST COMMON.
Some people use the wrong filing status, such as Head of Household instead of Single. The Interactive Tax Assistant on IRS.gov can help you choose the right one. Tax software helps e-filers choose.
4. Math mistakes.
Double-check your math. For example, be careful when you add or subtract or figure items on a form or worksheet. Tax preparation software does all the math for e-filers.
5. Errors in figuring credits or deductions.
Many filers make mistakes figuring their Earned Income Tax Credit, Child and Dependent Care Credit, and the standard deduction.
If you’re not e-filing, follow the instructions carefully when figuring credits and deductions.
6. Wrong bank account numbers.
You should choose to get your refund by direct deposit. But it’s important that you use the right bank and account numbers on your return.
The fastest and safest way to get a tax refund is to combine e-file with direct deposit.
7. Forms not signed or dated.
An unsigned tax return is like an unsigned check – it’s not valid.
Remember that both spouses must sign a joint return.
8. Electronic filing PIN errors.
When you e-file, you sign your return electronically with a Personal Identification Number. If you know last year’s e-file PIN, you can use that.
If not, you’ll need to enter the Adjusted Gross Income from your originally-filed 2012 federal tax return.
DO NOT use the AGI amount from an amended 2012 return or a 2012 return that the IRS corrected.

Tips for Farm Tax Returns
There are many tax benefits for people in the farming business.
Farms include:
1.plantations,
2.ranches,
3. ranges and orchards.
4. Farmers may raise livestock, poultry or fish, or grow fruits or vegetables.
Things about farm income and expenses.
1. Crop insurance proceeds.
Insurance payments from crop damage count as income.
Generally, you should report these payments in the year you get them.
2. Deductible farm expenses.
Farmers can deduct ordinary and necessary expenses they paid for their business. An ordinary expense is a common and accepted cost for that type of business.
A necessary expense means a cost that is appropriate for that business.
3. Employees and hired help.
You can deduct reasonable wages you paid to your farm’s full and part-time workers.
You must withhold Social Security, Medicare and income taxes from their wages.
4. Sale of items purchased for resale.
If you sold livestock or items that you bought for resale, you must report the sale.
Your profit or loss is the difference between your selling price and your basis in the item. Basis is usually the cost of the item.
Your cost may also include other amounts you paid such as sales tax and freight.
5. Repayment of loans.
You can only deduct the interest you paid on a loan if the loan is used for your farming business.
You can’t deduct interest you paid on a loan that you used for personal expenses.
6. Weather-related sales.
Bad weather such as a drought or flood may force you to sell more livestock than you normally would in a year.
You may be able to delay reporting a gain from the sale of the extra animals.
7. Net operating losses.
If your expenses are more than income for the year, you may have a net operating loss.
You can carry that loss over to other years and deduct it.
You may get a refund of part or all of the income tax you paid in prior years.
You may also be able to lower your tax in future years.
8. Farm income averaging.
You may be able to average some or all of the current year’s farm income by spreading it out over the past three years.
This may lower your taxes if your farm income is high in the current year and low in one or more of the past three years.
9. Fuel and road use.
You may be able to claim a tax credit or refund of excise taxes you paid on fuel used on your farm for farming purposes.
10. Farmers Tax Guide.
For more details on this topic see Publication 225, Farmer’s Tax Guide. You can get it on IRS.gov or call the IRS at 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676) to have it mailed to you.
