The Sooner You Deal with a Tax Controversy, the More Options You Have at a Favorable Resolution
If you are facing a tax dispute, there is always something an experienced tax lawyer can do to put you in a stronger position. However, if you wait until the Internal Revenue Service assesses tax, your options will be more limited. The time to deal with a tax controversy is before the IRS is in collection mode.
At The Shump Law Firm in Baltimore, Maryland, our lawyers have extensive experience dealing with state and Federal tax authorities in audits, examinations, criminal investigations and disputes involving all types of tax liabilities and exposures, including:
- State and Federal income taxes
- Excise taxes
- Payroll taxes
- Trust Fund Recovery Penalties
- Sales taxes
- Business taxes
- Fiduciary, gift and estate taxes
- Tax civil and criminal penalties
Discuss Your Tax Controversy With a Former IRS Attorney
Our principal attorney, W. Randolph Shump, Esq. is a former IRS trial lawyer and advisor with the U.S. Treasury's Office of Chief Counsel. Mr. Shump also served nearly a decade as a Revenue Agent for the IRS. As a result, we understand how to help our clients navigate the system. Our goal in any tax dispute is to help you obtain the optimum resolution through:
- Audit, examination and investigative representation
- Appeals
- Tax Litigation
- Offers-In-Compromise
- Installment payment plans
- Collection Due Process (CDP) hearings
- A reduction in the amount of tax under dispute
- A reduction of criminal and civil penalties
Tax audits can result in penalties, collection actions and criminal charges. If you wait until you get a statutory notice of deficiency (SNOD), you only have 90 days to file a petition with the U.S. Tax Court for a redetermination of the deficiency before it becomes a final assessment.
