Denver IRS and State Tax Relief Attorneys
As one of the largest governmental organizations, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) can be an imposing and intimidating figure. Often just as intimidating, state tax agencies, such as the Colorado Department of Revenue, can share information with the IRS and promote its positions on a more local level. If you are an individual or business owner who has been contacted by the IRS or a state tax agency about money you owe, it is important to enlist an experienced attorney who can help to protect your rights and work to see that your best interests are served.
Whether there was a mistake on your tax forms or you have not paid your taxes, or an error was made on the part of the IRS or a state tax agency, we can help. Our attorneys at The Law Firm of Bruce A. Danford, L.L.C., can work with you to assist you in understanding your options following a collections contact from the IRS or a state tax agency. We can begin addressing your tax issues as soon as we become involved in your case, as it is better to get started instead of waiting. Delay only makes the problems worse. The IRS is aggressive in its collection efforts and will see that federal tax liens, bank levies or wage garnishments are applied in order to obtain repayment of your debts. State tax agencies employ similar methods, often based solely on an adverse determination by the IRS
An offer in compromise may help you settle your tax debt for less than you owe. Our attorneys can negotiate on your behalf to explore this and other options for repayment. Though it may not be possible, we can also attempt to see that penalties and interest on the debt are abated. Our firm also represents clients, individual or business, in IRS and state tax agency audits to ensure that their rights are protected throughout the audit.
