Texas Tax Attorneys That Help With Back Tax Problems

When you hire a local attorney, you get the benefit of working with someone who is well-versed in Texas tax laws. Texas-based attorneys understand how to deal with the Texas Comptroller. They also provide their clients with personalized, hands-on solutions which stands in stark contrast to the aggressive sales tactics and one-size-fits-all solutions of the big tax relief firms.

Tax attorneys can help with a wide range of tax problems, but you can also hire a certified public accountant (CPA) or an enrolled agent to help you. The most important point to consider is whether or not the tax pro has experience with your issue in the state of Texas. If you have a criminal tax concern, then, you definitely need a tax attorney.

The Texas Comptroller offers penalty abatement for qualifying taxpayers who have incurred penalties. You can also request a payment plan to pay your back taxes over time. If you're dealing with delinquent federal income taxes, you need to look into the IRS's programs which include installment agreements, offers in compromise, and currently non-collectible status.

If you want to pay the IRS an in-person visit, there are over 20 IRS offices in Texas, and depending on where you live, there may be an IRS office just over the border in Oklahoma or New Mexico that's closer to you. You can check on your IRS account, make payments (only some offices accept cash), pick up forms, and ask basic tax questions. Some offices offer additional services.

Attorneys generally charge a flat fee based on the work they are providing, or they charge hourly. You should always understand the fee structure before agreeing to work with an attorney, and this post can help guide you in the right direction.

Most, but not all, attorneys start with a free consultation. That allows you and the attorney to assess if you are a good fit for each other. It also gives you a chance to provide the attorney with a brief overview of your problem so they can tell you which tax relief options you should pursue.

What are tax resolution services? Who needs them? What should you expect when you have tax problems and hire someone to help you? This post outlines the answers to these questions and other essentials.

Tax resolution services aren't something that you need every day, and as a result, people often get duped into hiring companies that don't provide great services and that aren't transparent about their practices. In this post, we explain how to spot the worst tax relief companies, how to avoid them, and why you should consider a local tax attorney or another type of tax pro over these firms.

If you owe back taxes in Texas, it's almost always related to your business as the state doesn't have personal income tax. If you're still in operation, you need to work with the State Comptroller to protect your business, and even if your business has closed, you need to pay your taxes to protect your personal assets. This article explains the consequences of nonpayment and looks at how to get back into compliance.

If you sell taxable goods or services, you need to collect sales tax and remit it to the state. Learn about the essential rules in this post, read about sales tax audits, and look at options for taxpayers who get behind.

The Texas Comptroller will allow qualifying taxpayers to set up payment plans on their back taxes. To qualify, you must submit an application and meet other compliance requirements.
