Dallas IRS Tax Representation in Texas — Guidance From Former IRS Attorneys

When you receive a notice from the IRS, discover that past returns were not filed, or learn that the IRS believes a tax debt is owed, it can be difficult to know how to proceed. These matters involve detailed rules, specific deadlines, and procedures that may not be intuitive. At Gregory Law Group, PLLC, we assist individuals and businesses in Dallas with a wide range of federal tax issues. As former IRS Attorneys with more than 25 years of combined experience, we understand the procedures the IRS follows when reviewing matters and guide taxpayers through the process in an informed and practical manner based on their specific circumstances.

Our boutique tax law firm is located in Dallas, Texas (by appointment only). We represent clients across the Dallas–Fort Worth area and, when appropriate, throughout Texas.

Experienced IRS Representation for Dallas Taxpayers

IRS matters often develop over time, and many taxpayers do not realize how far an issue has progressed until multiple letters via certified mail are received. Once the IRS initiates enforcement, the consequences may vary depending on the circumstances. We help clients understand their situation, review available options, and determine an appropriate course of action based on federal tax law and IRS procedures. We can handle communications with the IRS on your behalf, helping to promote timely responses that accurately reflect your position.

IRS Audits and Examinations

IRS audits may involve questions about income reporting, business deductions, or discrepancies between filed returns and information received by the agency. Examinations may occur through correspondence, in-person appointments, or field visits. As former IRS Attorneys, we understand the procedural criteria examiners typically apply when reviewing documentation. We assist clients throughout the audit process, including preparing responses, reviewing supporting materials, and addressing proposed adjustments. When appropriate, we help clients pursue available appeal rights.

IRS Collections, Tax Balances, and Enforcement Actions

Tax balances can arise from assessments, amended filings, audits, estimated tax issues, or other circumstances. When a balance remains outstanding, the IRS may initiate collection activity, which can include liens or levies. Before enforcement reaches that point, taxpayers may have opportunities to address the matter, depending on the circumstances. We help evaluate potential payment options, review required financial information, and determine whether an installment agreement, temporary hardship status, or another resolution method may be available. Our involvement helps promote submissions and communications that follow IRS procedures.

Unfiled Tax Returns and Compliance Concerns

Taxpayers may fall behind on filing returns for many reasons, including missing records, significant life events, or business transitions. The IRS has established procedures for handling non-filers, and addressing these issues proactively is important. We assist clients in determining which years should be filed, coordinating the preparation of returns when needed, and communicating with the IRS as part of the compliance process. Taking these steps voluntarily may help reduce the risk of additional penalties in many circumstances.

IRS Appeals and Tax Court Representation

If you disagree with the findings of an audit or a collection determination, you may have the option to request review by the IRS Office of Appeals. Appeals is independent from the examination and collection divisions and may offer an opportunity to resolve disputes administratively. We prepare protest letters, communicate with Appeals Officers, and present the factual and legal basis supporting our clients’ positions. When appropriate, we represent taxpayers before the United States Tax Court.

Criminal Tax Matters and Sensitive Legal Issues

Some tax issues may raise concerns about potential criminal exposure, while others simply involve sensitive facts that taxpayers wish to discuss confidentially. Communications with a tax attorney are protected by attorney-client privilege, allowing clients to speak openly about their concerns. We evaluate the relevant circumstances, advise on available options, and, when appropriate, communicate with the government in a careful and informed manner.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I receive a notice from the IRS?

Review the notice carefully and note the tax year, issue, and stated deadline. Different notices serve different purposes, and responding incorrectly may affect your rights. Many taxpayers choose to have a tax attorney review the notice and communicate with the IRS on their behalf.

Do I need a tax attorney, or can my CPA assist with this?

CPAs and enrolled agents play an important role in preparing tax returns and maintaining records. IRS audits, appeals, and collection matters involve legal issues and procedural rules. Tax attorneys provide legal advice protected by attorney-client privilege and can represent clients before the IRS and Tax Court.

What happens if I ignore IRS letters?

Ignoring IRS notices generally results in additional penalties and may lead to liens or levies. Addressing the matter early often provides more options in many circumstances. The IRS has thousands of employees whose primary job is to collect back taxes. And they have 10 years to collect what is owed.

Can the IRS garnish wages or levy bank accounts in Texas?

Yes. Federal law permits the IRS to levy wages and bank accounts even if state law restricts private creditors. Before doing so, the IRS typically issues a series of notices and provides appeal opportunities.

What are my options if I cannot pay the full amount the IRS claims I owe?

Depending on your financial circumstances, potential options may include installment agreements, temporary hardship relief, or other resolution methods. Each option requires specific documentation and review by the IRS.

What if I have multiple years of unfiled tax returns?

The IRS has established procedures for resolving unfiled returns. Filing voluntarily is generally advisable in many circumstances. We help determine which years should be addressed, coordinate the preparation of returns, and communicate with the IRS throughout the process.
