Benefits
Why Choose Margolies

IRS Representation for Garland Taxpayers
Confirming What the IRS Account Shows
A notice is only one part of an IRS account. Before choosing a response, it is important to determine which tax years are involved, whether required returns were processed, how payments were applied, when the balances were assessed, and whether collection deadlines or appeal rights are approaching.
For Garland clients, Margolies Law Office begins by organizing the notices and account history so the legal and factual issues can be separated. That review can reveal an incorrect balance, a missing filing, an expired response opportunity, or a collection problem that requires immediate attention.
Federal Tax Problems We Handle
IRS enforcement can interrupt a household or business with little warning. The firm represents Garland taxpayers facing federal tax liens, wage garnishments, and bank levies. Each remedy requires attention to the notice history, collection stage, compliance status, and financial documentation.
When full payment is not realistic, the analysis may include whether the taxpayer qualifies for currently not collectible status or another resolution procedure. The objective is to address the immediate enforcement risk while developing a response that fits the verified account facts.
Disputing an IRS Determination
A proposed adjustment or asserted liability should be evaluated through the procedure that produced it. In an examination, that can mean reviewing information requests, tracing the adjustment to the underlying records, and determining whether the examiner has applied the law correctly.
Andrew provides IRS audit representation and evaluates administrative appeal options when the evidence supports a challenge. If a valid notice creates the right to petition, the firm can also assess whether the dispute should proceed through United States Tax Court. Missing a statutory deadline can eliminate an important forum, so the date and type of notice matter.
Payroll Tax Responsibility and Business Records
Federal employment tax cases require more than calculating an unpaid balance. The IRS may review deposit history, payroll filings, control over business finances, authority to direct payments, and knowledge of the unpaid trust fund taxes. Those facts can affect both the company and individuals the IRS considers responsible.
Margolies Law Office handles federal payroll tax problems for Garland businesses and potentially responsible individuals. Representation may include restoring filing and deposit compliance, responding to collection contacts, preparing for an interview, and evaluating the basis for a proposed personal assessment. The firm does not handle Texas state or local tax disputes.
Working With the Office From Garland
Garland clients do not need a separate local office to receive direct representation. Documents can be exchanged securely, conferences can be held by phone or video, and in-person meetings are available at the Dallas office when appropriate. The firm represents taxpayers before the federal IRS rather than claiming an office in every city it serves.
To prepare for an initial discussion, gather the complete IRS notice package, recent returns, unfiled returns, payment records, prior correspondence, and documents connected to the disputed or unpaid periods. To discuss the matter, contact Margolies Law Office, call (469) 626-7760, or review the firm’s federal IRS services.

When the IRS Says You Owe and You Say You Don’t: How Tax Court Actually Works

The federal tax system collects roughly $4.7 trillion annually, and the IRS initiates that process with a determination – not a conversation. When that determination is wrong, or when the amount is in dispute, most people don’t realize they have
“The Margolies were very up front about my tax issues. They walked me through the whole process. And were very punctual about resolving my tax issue and getting me back on track. Andrew and Jennifer are a true dream team. I would highly recommend their services”

“Andrew handled my complex tax matter with extreme professionalism and attention to detail. Communication was easy and I always knew he had my interests at heart, legally representing me.”
T B.
“ Andrew Margolies did a great job for my mom who had paid her taxes, but the IRS failed to associate the payment with her account. She kept getting letters demanding payment with accrued interest and fees even though they had cashed her check.
After Andrew started working on it, the letters stopped. We were notified there had been a credit to my mom’s account, and finally the payment was properly applied with a zero balance. She is even receiving a refund.
We’re very happy with Andrew and would highly recommend him.”
N B.
“I came to Andrew Margolies with a significant IRS issue that I had been losing sleep over for months. I spoke with Jennifer on the phone, got in the same day for a consultation, and had a full resolution within 2 business days for a reasonable price. Andrew did exactly what he said he was going to do and provided me with a thorough resolution.
Being 9 months pregnant, Andrew was extremely sensitive to my timeline urgency and was on the phone with me at 5pm on a Friday helping me with my case.
Before meeting with Andrew, I called around to 10 different offices. All of those interactions felt like a sales funnel and a money grab. I can’t explain the relief I have having chosen to work with Andrew and having a resolution within days. We’re absolutely thrilled with the value and the experience.”
C S.
“100% recommended. I had a problem regarding my tax return since the beginning of 2023 and had been trying to follow up myself until 2025 with no progress. I decided to work with Attorney Andrew and Jennifer and in less than a month my problem was solved.
Attorney Andrew is very knowledgeable with reasonable fees and Jennifer is very responsive to all requests and questions. Most importantly they have business ethics. I will not look further if I have any more tax problems.”
