The worst thing you can do with a notice of tax collection or enforcement is to ignore it. Timely and constructive engagement with the IRS or Missouri Department of Revenue can keep your options open toward a favorable resolution of your tax difficulty, but failing to respond to collection letters will only convince the agency that you are uncooperative. It might then conclude that its best chance to collect a past-due tax is to seize assets without warning.

All dealings with the IRS are time-driven. If they expect you to do something by a certain date and you don't make that happen, then the IRS will increase the pressure by taking its own next step. Working with an experienced attorney can help you avoid the consequences of running out of time.

Our goal in dealing with the state or federal tax authorities is to keep as many options for a favorable outcome available for you as we can. As long as the lines of communication remain open and productive, you probably will not need to worry about an asset seizure or enforcement of a tax lien. You might also have the chance to compromise interest and penalty assessments, dispute estimates of imputed income, or avoid personal liability for unpaid business payroll withholding taxes.

We help clients deal with tax problems related to IRS audits and enforcement actions, unpaid payroll tax obligations, state or federal estate taxes, local real estate tax appeals, self-employment tax disputes, and other matters in controversy with federal or state taxing agencies. Our experience working with the IRS and state authorities on tax issues can help you avoid harsh collection tactics no matter what your specific problem involves.

Comprehensive Client Service in State or Federal Tax Disputes

As well as helping clients resolve tax problems through payment plans and offers in compromise, we also develop and present defenses specific to a particular situation, such as innocent spouse or injured spouse defenses in cases involving joint filers, or disputing responsible person liability against principals of businesses with unpaid payroll taxes.
