We Work With You to Explore All Tax Collection Remedies at Your Disposal

Throughout every stage of your contact with Lazarow Law Firm, P.L.C., you’ll be assisted by a friendly, helpful and approachable staff. During your initial consultation, we’ll evaluate what remedies you may have at your disposal.

• Offer in compromise: This is one of the least common and most complicated tax remedies, which requires the help of a tax lawyer. It allows you to pay only a fraction of the taxes owed.
• IRS installment agreement: You may enter into a payment plan, in which you pay the IRS monthly.
• Penalty abatement: You can file for this when you believe you have reasonable circumstances that would be acceptable to the IRS. This can be applicable in cases of a major illness, divorce, natural disaster, extended unemployment and more.
• Innocent spouse defense: When one spouse omits income on a joint tax return and the other is not aware of the omission or even has reason to know about it, one might use this defense
• Dispute of errors: Was a Notice of Federal Tax Tax Lien (NFTL) filed incorrectly or not released after the limitation period?

You can expect that as we discuss what tax collection remedies may be available to you, we’ll have to assess your tax history and any past agreements you have made with the IRS. In addition, we’ll evaluate whether any technical errors on the part of the IRS may be at play, such as if the Collections Statute Expiration Date — typically 10 years — has passed, or whether you were given ample notice and opportunity to respond to the IRS. This means we’ll have lots of questions to ask and information to review.Because Sheldon Lazarow is a tax lawyer who has practiced law in Tucson since 1976, he’ll be able to apply his extensive knowledge of not only tax collection and audit law, but also corporate, real estate and even marital dissolution law when settling your tax matter with the IRS. It’s all in efforts to help put your mind at ease so you can move on with your life.
