Audits
Being audited can be extremely expensive. And when you own a business, have unreported income, or multiple real estate investments, the stakes are even higher. If you’re being audited by the IRS or State, or if you already were audited and things didn’t go your way, call Selig at (212) 974-3435.
New Business Formation
We can help you form a new Corporation, establish a fictitious business name (D/B/A), receive a New York State Sales Tax Certificate of Authority (C of A) or obtain Tax-Exempt Status for your Theater Company, Church, religious or non-profit organization.
Tax Representation Crisis Management
Warning
For businesses that rely on external funding, maintaining a good relationship with investors and adhering to loan covenants is vital. Unpaid taxes can trigger default clauses in loan agreements, leading to increased scrutiny, loss of funding, and lawsuits. An effective tax representation and crisis management strategy ensures your business communicates transparently with its stakeholders while executing a plan to rectify the underlying tax problem. For an immediate consultation, call (212) 974-3435.
Litigation and the IRS
At first blush, the idea of dragging the IRS into Court sounds thrilling, like a modern-day David v. Goliath fairytale. Unfortunately, in the real world, publicly squaring off with the Federal Government usually ends with you being crushed like a grape (and it doesn't matter who's in office).
The Winner's Curse
The IRS can be extremely vindictive, and winning tax litigants are frequently rewarded with audits, penalties, surveillance and harassment. FYI, losing tax litigants receive the same treatment plus court costs.
Trouble on the Horizon
The IRS aggressively investigates tax litigants. This means Forensic Accountants and Special Investigators will examine your tax returns, bank records, investments, credit card statements, business transactions, mortgage and tuition payments, vehicle and boat registrations, and anything else they can find. If they discover underreported income, or evidence of intentional wrongdoing, you could be criminally prosecuted. Consequences frequently include prison, penalties and restitution.
Everyone will Know
Court cases are public record. This means anyone can look up the details of your tax case and immediately know your business.
The Right Decision
A successful alternative to litigation is a negotiated settlement. Why? Because the Government is more reasonable when you demonstrate a willingness to cooperate – which almost always leads to a fairer and more affordable resolution. For immediate assistance call (212) 974-3435.
