Why should I choose your law firm?
- Q. Old company under my name I need to clean my name
- A: This is a difficult situation. You will need to actively prove to the IRS that you should not be responsible for the taxes due. Hopefully, there is time to file an appeal. If not, there are other ways to remove the liability.
- Q. I was served papers yesterday for contempt of court by my ex-husband stating I did not pay tax debt how to proceed?
- A: It is a good idea to immediately file your tax returns. If needed, you can obtain your income transcripts directly from the IRS so that you have a record of your income that was reported to the IRS from which you may start return preparation.
- Q. Can I deduct liposuction on taxes without pre-op diagnosis? Can diagnosis after surgery still qualify for write-off?
- A: The medical procedure was a necessary procedure, then it may qualify for a deduction.
