Frequently Asked Questions

Why should you choose a tax attorney over any other type of tax specialist?

Some people may feel more at ease filing their own taxes or hiring a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) to do so for them, especially if their tax situation is simple. However, when it comes to our country’s constantly changing and exceedingly complex tax laws, the best defense is often a well-prepared lawyer.

I owe the IRS more money than I have right now. What should I do?

Doing nothing is not an option in this situation. The best solution is to contact the tax experts at Volfman Law Group, PC for a free consultation and expert advice on the next steps in clearing your name and paying any back taxes.

I haven't filed a tax return in a long time. What can I do to solve this problem?

Occasionally, we fall behind. Worse, we occasionally fall behind on filing our taxes. The first step, of course, is to file any outstanding tax returns. It may seem counterintuitive, but the IRS sometimes considers failure to file tax returns to be a more serious offense than simply failing to pay. Of course, the best course of action is to file all tax returns and pay on time. Those who are unable to pay their taxes on time, however, have some options. 

prepare my own tax returns. Can't I just talk to the IRS myself?

It may appear that responding calmly to the IRS when contacted about late taxes or other tributary concerns is all that is required. However, because US tax laws are complex and constantly changing, only the most experienced legal counsel will suffice. Our tax attorneys have successfully negotiated with the IRS on behalf of numerous clients, resulting in positive outcomes, allowing them to avoid dealing directly with the IRS and all of the stress (and potential risk) that entails.

I've heard the IRS can levy my bank account?

Yes, the IRS can use a bank account levy to recover past-due taxes. This means that the IRS can take money directly from your bank account. The IRS can also garnish your wages or savings held by labor credit unions, trust companies, and credit unions. When it comes to the IRS, this is, of course, one of the worst-case scenarios. Those who wait or try to ignore their IRS problems are increasingly likely to find themselves in similar predicaments. Fortunately, our experts can assist you in resolving your IRS issues and avoiding similar situations in the future.

Is it possible to declare bankruptcy?

If you have bad credit and are drowning in debt, bankruptcy may be an option for you. Bankruptcy can also help those who owe the IRS back taxes. An experienced lawyer can explain the law to you. Certain restrictions apply, and this option is only available to those who meet certain criteria. Among the criteria to consider are how long you’ve owed money to the IRS, whether or not you’ve paid previous back taxes, and whether or not you’ve previously filed for bankruptcy. Our experts will gladly explain the intricacies of using bankruptcy to resolve IRS issues.

My spouse owes back taxes. Is it my responsibility to pay them?

Spouses filing jointly may be held liable for the failure of their spouse to report or pay taxes. However, Innocent Spouse Relief may be available in some cases for those who have been wrongfully held responsible for their spouse’s tax problems.
