Frequently Asked Questions
When should I hire a tax relief attorney in Rancho Palos Verdes?
You should consider hiring a tax relief attorney if you receive a notice from the IRS or California Franchise Tax Board, owe back taxes, or face a wage garnishment or bank levy. An attorney can represent you in audits and negotiations. They can also help you understand your rights under California Revenue and Taxation Code section 19001.
What is the difference between a tax relief attorney and a CPA in California?
A tax relief attorney is a licensed lawyer who can provide legal advice and represent you in court. A CPA is an accountant who can prepare tax returns and represent you before the IRS but cannot provide legal counsel in court. For serious tax disputes, an attorney may be necessary to protect your legal rights.
How long does the IRS have to collect back taxes in California?
The IRS generally has 10 years from the date of assessment to collect back taxes. In California, the Franchise Tax Board also has a 10-year collection statute, but it can be extended by agreement or bankruptcy. An attorney can help you navigate these deadlines and explore options like an offer in compromise.
