IRS & State Tax Audits
If you recently received a letter from IRS, there are few important steps you need to take to protect yourself. While IRS will occasionally audit businesses randomly, they usually audit an individual or business because your tax return contains an error or a transaction that is inconsistent with other businesses in your industry. Our San Diego IRS attorney explains what steps you should take to ensure you are protected.
Criminal Tax
If you believe that you have exposure for a criminal tax matter, then you must speak with our San Diego tax lawyers immediately. Tax evasion, the most well-known of tax crimes under the Internal Revenue Code, is a felony. Tax evasion is known as the willfully trying to avoid or evade any previous taxes that have been imposed by Title 26.
Sales Tax Audits
At Milikowsky Tax Law, our San Diego tax lawyers defend businesses who are being audited by California Board of Equalization (BOE). Our highly qualified sales tax audit attorneys will review your business records and challenge Board of Equalization's assumptions, which can include BOE’s estimates of your cost of goods sold, mark up for each category of item sold, and BOE’s methods to estimate taxable sales.
Unfiled Tax Returns
Taxes are a burden all citizens share, but it's easy to let the responsibility get away from you. The government estimates that there are nearly $300 billion uncollected taxes in America.
Back Tax
Back taxes are a nightmare for anyone that owes the IRS money without the means of paying it. If you are already in debt, the IRS banging on your door doesn’t help your situation—it just makes it more stressful. If the IRS is telling you to pay your back taxes in a payment plan you can't afford, contact our San Diego back tax lawyer today. Our legal team at Milikowsky Tax Law is well-versed in tax law procedures and options; we are ready to assist you through this difficult time.
Employment Development Department
As the largest tax collection agency in California, the Employment Development Department (or EDD) is responsible for collecting payroll taxes from over 17 million workers every year. They are responsible for collecting over $31 billion for California’s tax system. Because of this, the EDD cracks down on those who fail to file the right forms or make appropriate payroll tax withholdings. When dealing with the EDD, there is virtually no leniency for small business owners or employers to make a mistake. If you are in trouble, contact our San Diego EDD attorney at Milikowsky Tax Law today. With over 10 years of experience to back us, we are more than capable of handling even the most complex of cases.
Offers in Compromise
When cash flow is strained, companies tend to get behind in paying taxes. A delinquent tax balance generally can result in the government taking aggressive action to levy a bank account, file liens, or potentially seize a business or asset.
FAQs
It is your constitutional right to obtain legal representation. The IRS does not likely have your best interests at heart. We strongly advise you to retain the assistance of a skilled tax lawyer in order to gain a complete understanding of your legal options and make informed decisions. Internal Revenue Code § 7421(b)(2) states that an IRS agent must immediately end an interview if you assert that you would like to speak with a certified public accountant, enrolled agent, or tax lawyer. Take advantage of your rights.
California Income Taxes
Under California law, the definition of a “resident” is unclear. The distinction between a resident and non-resident determines whether California can assess you taxes on income earned in California and in other states. Under Revenue & Tax Code Section 17014, a “resident” is defined as “every individual who is in this state for other than a temporary or transitory purpose.” The definition also includes individuals who are “domiciled in this state” who is outside of California only for a temporary or transitory purpose. Whether an individual is a resident of California (and is only outside of California temporarily) essentially relies on many facts and legal presumptions.
