Frequently Asked Questions
What types of tax problems can a tax relief attorney in Palo Alto help with?
A tax relief attorney can help with IRS audits, unpaid tax debts, wage garnishments, bank levies, and property liens. They can also negotiate with the California Franchise Tax Board for state tax issues. Common solutions include offers in compromise, currently not collectible status, and penalty abatement requests.
How does California tax law differ from federal tax law for tax relief?
California has its own tax code and collection procedures through the FTB. The state offers a separate offer in compromise program with different eligibility rules than the federal program. California also has a longer statute of limitations for collecting state taxes, which is 20 years compared to the federal 10 year limit.
What should I look for when choosing a tax relief attorney in Palo Alto?
Look for an attorney with experience handling cases with both the IRS and the California FTB. Verify that the attorney is licensed to practice law in California and has a good standing with the State Bar of California. Ask about their experience with specific tax issues like payroll tax problems or unfiled returns.
