Frequently Asked Questions
What does a tax relief attorney in San Mateo do?
A tax relief attorney helps you negotiate with the IRS or California Franchise Tax Board to reduce your tax debt or stop collection actions. They can file an offer in compromise, request a payment plan, or represent you in a tax court hearing. Their goal is to protect your rights and find a legal solution to your tax problem.
How long do I have to respond to an IRS notice in California?
You generally have 30 days from the date of an IRS notice to respond before the agency takes further collection action. For California state tax issues, the Franchise Tax Board allows 60 days to file a protest after receiving a Notice of Proposed Assessment. Missing these deadlines can limit your options.
Can a tax relief attorney stop wage garnishment in San Mateo?
Yes, a tax relief attorney can request a levy release or negotiate a payment plan to stop wage garnishment. The IRS and California Franchise Tax Board can garnish wages without a court order, but an attorney can file an appeal or prove financial hardship to stop the garnishment quickly.
