Grapevine Tax Attorney IRS Notice Response

IRS Concerns Affecting Grapevine, Texas — Experienced Guidance From Former IRS Attorneys

Federal tax issues can be both disruptive and unexpected—whether they stem from unfiled tax returns, IRS notices about balances due, or questions surrounding how income or deductions were reported. At Gregory Law Group, PLLC, we assist Grapevine residents and businesses with a wide range of IRS and federal tax matters. With more than 25 years of combined experience as former IRS Attorneys, we understand how IRS personnel analyze cases and how to navigate each stage of the process effectively.

Our Dallas office (by appointment only) serves taxpayers throughout Grapevine, Tarrant County, and the entire Dallas–Fort Worth region.

Helping Grapevine Taxpayers Interpret IRS Letters and Respond Appropriately

IRS notices often arrive in a series, and many people do not realize how far an issue has advanced until deadlines are near. Whether you received a CP2000 notice, balance-due letters, or a request for additional documentation, we help Grapevine taxpayers understand what the IRS is asking for and what steps need to be taken. When appropriate, we take over communication with the IRS, ensuring responses are submitted accurately and on time.

Representation During IRS Audits

IRS examinations may be triggered by mismatched information, deductions that require verification, small-business activity, or rental property reporting. Audits can range from straightforward correspondence to in-person field examinations. We help Grapevine taxpayers gather and organize relevant documents, prepare responses that address each IRS inquiry, and handle follow-up questions from examiners. If the IRS proposes adjustments that seem improper, we explain available options for challenging those findings.

Managing Tax Balances and Preventing Escalation to Enforcement

When the IRS believes a balance is owed—whether from audit changes, amended returns, or estimated tax issues—it may begin collection efforts, including the filing of liens or issuing levies. Our role is to help Grapevine taxpayers determine whether the balance is correct, understand available resolution programs, and prepare the financial information required to qualify for relief. We assist with installment agreements, hardship-based options, and other solutions permitted under IRS procedures.

Getting Back on Track With Delinquent or Unfiled Tax Returns

Missing tax returns can create long-term complications, including lost refunds, increased penalties, or IRS-prepared substitute returns. We help Grapevine residents determine which years need to be filed, gather the necessary information, and prepare accurate filings. Taking steps voluntarily often leads to better outcomes than waiting for the IRS to act first.

Resolving Disputes Through Appeals or Tax Court When Necessary

If you disagree with an IRS decision—whether from an audit or a collection determination—the IRS Office of Appeals may offer a path to administrative resolution. Appeals Officers consider documentation, legal arguments, and procedural issues independently from the examining and collection divisions. We prepare detailed submissions and represent Grapevine taxpayers throughout the appeals process. When a case cannot be resolved administratively, we also represent clients before the United States Tax Court.

Confidential Advice for Sensitive or High-Risk IRS Issues

Some matters involve sensitive personal or business details, while others require careful analysis because they may carry potential criminal exposure. Communications with a tax attorney are confidential and protected by attorney-client privilege. We help Grapevine taxpayers discuss their concerns openly, evaluate risks, and create an informed plan for addressing the issue with the IRS.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I receive an IRS notice in Grapevine?

Review the notice to identify the issue, tax year, and response deadline. Different notices carry different implications, and responding incorrectly may affect your rights. This is general information and does not constitute legal advice. Many Grapevine taxpayers choose to have a tax attorney review the notice and communicate with the IRS on their behalf.

Should I work with a CPA or a tax attorney for IRS issues?

CPAs and enrolled agents assist with tax preparation and recordkeeping. IRS audits, appeals, and collection actions often involve legal and procedural considerations. 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.

Can the IRS levy wages or bank accounts in Texas?

Yes. Federal law authorizes the IRS to levy wages and bank accounts even when state law restricts similar actions by private creditors. Before issuing a levy, the IRS typically sends several notices and offers appeal opportunities.

What if I cannot afford to pay the full amount the IRS claims I owe?

Depending on your financial circumstances, available options may include installment agreements, temporary hardship status, or other resolution methods. Each option requires financial documentation and IRS review.

How should I handle multiple years of unfiled tax returns?

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