Defense in IRS & Georgia Tax Audits
At Bomar & Phipps, LLC, we represent clients with income tax disputes at every level, starting at the audit stage, through the U.S. Tax court, U.S. District Court or the Court of Federal Claims. We represent individual and business clients throughout metro Atlanta and North Georgia who are seeking federal and state tax debt relief.
If you have received a notice of an income tax examination by the IRS, contact an experienced Atlanta tax audit lawyer or call 404.841.6561 to schedule an immediate appointment.
An IRS audit can take two forms. The first is a paper audit in which the IRS reviews your tax forms and decides that an error was made, for which they have billed you. When this is the case, sending proof that the IRS made an error is usually sufficient. We can help you make your case.
The other type of IRS audit is an in-person audit at your office or the IRS office. The auditor will look through your books for expenses and deductions that can be "disallowed" because they haven't been thoroughly documented. A lack of convenient documentation does not mean the deduction can't be proven. We will help you to reconstruct your business or personal tax records or use other methods to substantiate a deduction.
Experienced Tax Defense in IRS Audits
A former tax attorney for the IRS Office of Chief Counsel, Atlanta, Georgia (GA), tax lawyer Cal Bomar has handled tax problems from both sides of the table. This background gives Mr. Bomar insights into what the IRS position will be on a wide range of tax matters and allows him to effectively negotiate on your behalf to resolve IRS audit disputes.
If an IRS audit does uncover problems that cannot be explained, Mr. Bomar may be able to negotiate a favorable resolution for your case, such as:
- Installment agreement
- An offer in compromise
- Penalty abatement
- Reclassification to "currently not collectible" status
Do Not Risk Representing Yourself in an Audit
Most taxpayers are at a significant disadvantage when they come up against IRS auditors. Auditors are trained to interrogate taxpayers in order to uncover financial wrongdoing and honest errors. Any information you provide to an IRS auditor can and will be used against you.
You do not need to suffer abusive treatment by an auditor. Mr. Bomar can appear at the audit on your behalf. He can work with the auditor to arrive at a settlement. If we cannot agree, our firm can represent you throughout the appeals process.
Attorney-Client Privilege
Remember, your conversations with your tax attorney are protected by attorney-client privilege.
