Tax Litigation concerns any and all activities in which a taxpayer disputes or is disputing a tax with either a state of federal authority. The dispute may arise from doubt as to the collectibility of an undisputed tax, from doubt as to the liability of a tax, from both, or from other reasons. However, the key point to remember is that many taxing authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), frequently negotiate down the disputed tax liability when sufficient justification is provided for such adjustment. Engaging a law firm for its legal expertise to represent the taxpayer in front of such a bureaucratic, authoritative body is a wise decision because of the complexity and voluminous nature of the tax laws.
An additional reason to engage a law firm for tax disputes is that communications between the client and the law firm are confidential in nature, more specifically referred to as the "attorney-client privilege". This privilege is a privilege that only law firms can offer to clients. Consequently, generally speaking, when the contents of any communication may be sensitive in nature, communication of such contents should generally be directed to a law firm rather than other types of consultants, such as a certified public accountant (CPA). This is because, generally speaking, the contents of any communication with a non-attorney consultant may be inquired upon by the courts and must be disclosed by the non-attorney consultant. However, attorneys are prohibited - in practically all cases - by law from disclosing the contents of any communication with a client. Because the tax disputes generally involve sensitive information, representation is generally best served when a law firm is engaged for representation on behalf of the client.
Lastly, and most importantly, this law firm will fight aggressively and diligently on your behalf. This includes reasonable but aggressive attempts to reduce your disputed tax liability to the lowest possible amount to which the taxing authority would be willing to negotiate down. In some cases, the representation and reduction may even lead to zero tax liability from an originally disputed tax liability. Each case is different and has its own peculiar aspects.
