Tax Attorney vs Licensed Tax Representative

Who should you use for IRS back taxes?

Are you currently facing back tax debt? Uncertain of where to turn and worried about the expense of a tax attorney? The good news is most tax issues, at either the state or federal level, do not require the services of a tax attorney.

At JK Harris, our team includes attorneys, CPAs and Enrolled Agents available to help you with your tax issues at a fraction of the cost a tax attorney would charge you. Our attorneys serve as Licensed Tax Representatives (LTR's) who are authorized to represent you before the IRS rather than practice as tax attorneys.

You may ask, what is the difference between an attorney representing taxpayers before the IRS and tax attorneys? The difference between our attorneys and tax attorneys is this: tax attorneys specialize in assisting their clients with complex, technical or legal tax issues that do not typically involve IRS back taxes. Our attorneys do not deal with any clients facing legal issues, but have chosen to specialize in representing clients before the IRS and negotiating the best resolution to their tax problems.  They have years of experience dealing specifically with back tax issues.  Since 1997, JK Harris has assisted more than 250,000 tax payers facing IRS tax debt.

Situations you may need a tax attorney for:

  • You have a taxable estate, you need to make complicated estate planning decisions, or you need to file an estate tax return.
  • You want to start a business and you need legal guidance about the tax issues facing your business or company.
  • If you engage in international business and need help handling the complexities of the contracts, tax treatments and issues.
  • You are seeking to bring a lawsuit against the IRS.
  • You want an independent review of your tax case before the U.S. Tax Court.
  • You are currently facing a criminal investigation by the IRS.
  • You need legal counsel and the protection of privilege for committing tax fraud.

If you are facing any of the above situations, JK Harris and Company cannot assist you. These are legal issues, which will require the assistance of a tax attorney. If you cannot afford a tax attorney, there are tax clinics throughout the United States providing free or low-cost legal assistance if you qualify. (See IRS Pub 4134)

However, if you are looking to resolve your IRS back tax problems and thought you needed a tax attorney, think again. JK Harris’ tax team stands ready to assist you in resolving your state or federal tax problems. Our tax team has decades of experience and is just a phone call away. Call today to begin resolving your back tax problems.

Did you know...?

Did you know there are three grounds to qualify for an Offer in Compromise? Taxpayers can qualify for doubt as to collectibility, doubt as to liability, or effective tax administration (there is potential to be able to pay, but the taxpayer has an exceptional circumstance that would cause hardship).
