Our Pre-Trial Tax Litigation Support Specialists and Tax Court Counsel will work with you to reach the best resolution or outcome for your tax liability or alleged tax violation.
We provide EAs, CPAs, and USTCP Certification in Forensic Analysis and Investigative Accounting to detect tax fraud. We certify anyone who is Circular 230-qualified to provide pre-trial tax litigation support to taxpayers who have filed a petition in Tax Court but wish to settle with the IRS during the docketed appeals process. Presented using plain English legal and accounting concepts.
Contact us to discuss our economical research support programs during tax appeal, settlement or litigation. We coach on applicable U.S. Treasury and IRS Code Regulations and IRS rules of practice and procedures, and brief cases and provide written analysis of opinions and rulings of the Tax Court. Our Pre-Trial Tax Litigation Specialists confer before and during docketed appeals before IRS appeals examiners. We will edit tax court petitions, motions, briefs, and other documents prepared for trial or submission to the IRS.
Our associates in federal taxation and law include an emeritus professor of law, IRS Enrolled Agent, forensic public accountant, pre-trial tax litigation support specialists, and licensed attorney admitted to practice before the United States Tax Court. They trained and/or received research appointments at Wharton, Yale, Harvard, UMass, Golden Gate, old British-American University School of Law, National Tax Practice Institute and TLI, and they have provided tax advisory in the Executive Office of the President in the White House and to not-for-profits in the U.S. and limited liability companies in Japan.
Enrolled Agents, CPAs, attorneys or United States Tax Court Practitioners may contact us to discuss their case. We also assist in Enrolled Agent, CPA, USTCP or attorney selection. Where tax litigants are undecided, we may advise litigants to retain one of our Circular 230-qualified practitioners who is certified in pre-trial tax litigation support to perfect a docketed appeal, which may settle the tax matter before an IRS appeals examiner and prove less costly.
