a What it Means to be a Tax Attorney by Henry Comte Valasquez | Jun 3, 2020 | Henry Comte Velasquez, law
Certi ed public accountants (CPAs) and tax attorneys often work in conjunction to assist their clients with audits and tax accounting issues. CPAs often work with clients dealing with nance and taxation issues, and the tax attorneys are experts who are professionally licensed to practice law, provide their clients with legal advice, and to represent clients during litigation proceedings. Many tax attorneys specialize speci cally in Internal Revenue Service (IRS)-related issues, spending a majority of their time representing clients during an audit, overseeing IRS settlements, and working together with CPAs in order to acquire the proper documentation. Tax attorneys are highly sought after because of their understanding of the complexities of tax law at the federal, state, and municipal levels. They help clients understand what’s required of them in order to remain in compliance with the law. Tax attorneys are also specialists in the minutiae of estate transfers, property acquisitions, and other transactions that require a specialized expert, such as wills. If a client has an IRS-related hearing or an appeal in U.S. tax court, tax attorneys will be on hand to negotiate on behalf of their clients for the reduction or elimination of any tax obligations or related nes, as well as the nulli cation of liens. This is also true for upperlevel cases in the Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court, where tax attorneys are hired on retainer to represent corporate entities, non-pro ts, or individuals.
