If you are having trouble with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services (DRS) your next phone call should be to an experienced tax attorney. The state of Connecticut has many qualified and experienced tax attorneys ready to help you solve your tax problems.

A Connecticut tax attorney can not only help you when you have a problem with a taxing authority, but can be pro-active and keep you from getting in trouble! If you are a small business owner, setting up an estate or preparing for a financial payout a tax attorney can help you minimize your tax burden. While Benjamin Franklin may have been right that “nothing is as certain as death and taxes”, no one wants to pay more than their share.

Your initial feeling regarding a tax attorney is that it is too expensive. However, did you know that often a tax attorney can save you money in the long run? If you are overpaying taxes because of the structure of your business or estate, a tax attorney can help you. If you are facing a debt to the IRS for unpaid taxes, due to an error or even evasion, a tax attorney can help negotiate a payment plan with the IRS, often waiving or reducing fines or penalties.

The IRS is the federal tax collection and tax code enforcement agency. Tax codes change each year and are difficult to understand. Knowing how a change in the law affects you as a taxpayer can be a challenge. Experienced tax attorneys not only keep up on all the changes, but understand the practicalities of these changes.

Many people rely heavily on their accountant or tax preparer, but often a good tax attorney can be just as important to your financial health. The Connecticut Bar Association provides an on-line lawyer referral service to help you find a tax attorney in your area. You may also want to ask your accountant or tax professional for a recommendation for an experienced tax attorney.

Small tax problems often turn into large problems, with the accumulation of fines, interest and penalties. The IRS can garnish your wages, seize or lien your property, or even have you sent to jail for tax evasion. Once you have a problem with the IRS, it can cause a ripple effect with other taxing authorities, like the DRS. Do not delay in contacting a Connecticut tax attorney.
