IRS Representation for Highland Park Taxpayers
Reconstructing a Complex IRS Account
IRS notices often show only the agency’s current conclusion, not the full account history. A useful review may require account transcripts, return transcripts, payment records, prior correspondence, amended returns, and documents from earlier representatives. Those materials help establish which periods remain open and whether an assessment, credit, or collection action is accurate.
Margolies Law Office organizes the record before selecting a procedure. That work can distinguish a filing problem from a disputed adjustment, reveal a misapplied payment, or identify an appeal or collection deadline that requires prompt attention. The response is then based on the verified account rather than assumptions drawn from a single letter.
Audits Involving Investments and Business Interests
An examination can become document-intensive when it involves securities transactions, real estate activity, pass-through entities, closely held businesses, deductions, basis calculations, or several sources of income. Effective IRS audit representation requires tracing each proposed adjustment to the governing return position and the records that support it.
Andrew reviews information requests, communicates with the examiner, and evaluates whether the IRS has applied the facts and law correctly. When a proposed result remains disputed, the next step may include an administrative IRS appeal or, when a valid notice provides jurisdiction and the deadline remains open, a petition in United States Tax Court.
Foreign Accounts and Asset Reporting
Foreign accounts, investments, entities, and inherited assets can create federal reporting obligations that are separate from the income tax return itself. The correct analysis depends on ownership, signature authority, account values, filing history, residence, and whether any income was omitted. Filing a form without first examining the complete history can create additional risk.
The firm advises clients on FBAR reporting, foreign asset reporting, and available compliance procedures, including the Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures when their requirements are met. The goal is to identify the applicable federal obligations and choose a defensible path based on the client’s actual facts.
Collection Strategy and Financial Disclosure
When the liability is final, the immediate question is often how the IRS will collect it. Revenue officers may request detailed financial information concerning income, expenses, bank accounts, investments, real property, business interests, and available credit. The accuracy and presentation of that information can affect both enforcement risk and the resolution options the IRS will consider.
Representation may include responding to a revenue officer, addressing a levy threat, and evaluating an installment agreement, offer in compromise, or currently not collectible status. No program fits every taxpayer; eligibility and strategy depend on compliance, financial evidence, collection timing, and the verified balance.
