When legal issues affect your finances, especially those involving back taxes or IRS claims, you need someone who understands how to protect your rights. We work with individuals and families who need help resolving tax-related matters tied to lawsuits, settlements, or financial hardships. A tax lawyer may help address IRS concerns, but without legal representation, it’s easy to miss steps that can lead to bigger problems down the line. Our firm offers straightforward support to help protect your financial stability. Contact Richard Banta Law today to schedule a consultation and get clear answers about your options.
Legal Support for IRS Disputes and Payment Plans
If you’ve received a letter from the IRS about a tax debt, audit, or unfiled return, taking action is your best move. Ignoring it may lead to wage garnishment, liens, or legal consequences. We help clients understand what the IRS is requesting and work with their tax lawyer to gather the right documents and file any needed responses.
Many clients come to us after a personal injury settlement, unsure of how to handle the tax side of their compensation. Depending on how the settlement is categorized, some portions may be taxable while others are not. We’ll help clarify what applies to your case and work with your financial team to avoid costly mistakes. In some situations, we can help reduce or eliminate penalties and set up payment arrangements that work with your budget.
What to Do If You Receive a Letter from the IRS
It’s natural to feel alarmed after receiving a notice from the IRS. The first thing we recommend is not to panic and not to ignore it. Many notices are time-sensitive, and missing a deadline can create more stress or additional penalties. Bring the letter to us, and we’ll help break down what it means. We’ve seen everything from small miscalculations to long-standing debt issues triggered by unpaid balances or misfiled documents.
In cases related to personal injury or medical-related claims, the financial aftermath can be complicated. The last thing anyone needs while recovering from an injury is a letter from the IRS. That’s why we step in to lighten the burden. Our team can prepare a legal response, offer documentation, and help you stay ahead of any legal or financial obligations. This keeps you from facing legal consequences you may not even know exist.
How We Work with You and Your Financial Team
If you already have a CPA or tax attorney, we collaborate with them to create a clear plan moving forward. We focus on the legal side, making sure your rights are protected and your financial situation isn’t worsened by legal oversights. Whether the issue involves a past legal settlement or current IRS concerns, our team helps guide the next steps that reduce unnecessary risk.
