Merger & Acquisition Complex Business Transactions
Tax litigation matters usually begin with an audit, such as an IRS business audit. These can be time-consuming, detail-oriented, and stressful. They can also be invasive and threatening. Audits can interrupt daily business. As a business owner, you may be required to gather enormous amounts of tax-related information for IRS agents. You, your Chief Financial Officer, or other management personnel may be questioned or interviewed intensively. Having the guidance of a skilled business tax professional in such a situation can limit the stress, ease the process, and minimize the consequences. When such audits are not handled with competence, you could face additional tax liability, including penalties and interest.
Tax matters at the federal level involve complex procedure and harsh deadlines. You will need:
- Representation from the outset in front of your initial audit or collection agent, in the office of appeals, and ultimately in U.S. Tax Court.
- Further appeals to the federal District Courts or U.S. Court of Federal claims may be needed.
- A similar process of litigation and appeal generally also applies at the local and state levels.
