When Tucson residents and small business owners deal with tax return mistakes or employment tax debt in Arizona, they turn to Sheldon Lazarow.

For individual taxpayers and owners of small- and medium-sized businesses alike, nothing brings up a feeling of dread quite like the words “tax audit.” This can occur for many reasons — maybe a payroll mistake in a staff member’s withholding status led to employment tax debt in Arizona, or you may be among the unfortunate and increasing number of small business owners to have been selected for a random audit.

In any case, if you’ve received a notice of audit from the IRS, one of the first things you’ll do when you meet with Sheldon Lazarow, a tax attorney based in Tucson, is figure out what led to the audit. Then we’ll delve into something just as important: what do about it.

Tax Attorney Sheldon Lazarow Will Step Between You and the IRS

When you have a business to run or a job to do, we know you don’t have time to deal with IRS officials and their constant questions and scrutiny. Dealing with deductions that initially may be allowed then disqualified during the audit process can be tedious and expensive.

We will act as a buffer between you and the IRS. While some individuals or business owners may be hesitant to seek the help of a tax attorney in Tucson, others understand that the sum you would otherwise pay the IRS will outweigh legal fees substantially.

As small- and medium-sized businesses are audited more and more, Sheldon Lazarow works to level the playing field. Unlike large firms with assets of $250 million or more and armies of accountants and attorneys who can drag out an audit process for years, small business owners are perhaps most vulnerable to this kind of action.

You Received a Notice of Tax Audit from the IRS. Now What?

Understanding what to do about a tax audit begins with understanding why you received the notice in the first place.

Attorney Sheldon Lazarow has been practicing law since 1976 and will use his extensive knowledge of tax collection and audit law to help you figure out what led to the tax audit, whether it was:

• Unusually high business deductions;
• A discrepancy between personal income and spending habits for individuals;
  
• Questionable Schedule C (business) entries;
• Reported investment questions.

We’ll guide you through the entire audit process, which means:

• Questioning an auditor’s rationale when necessary;
• Advising you when to talk with an auditor;
• How to organize and prepare your records, and more.

Testimonial: “A More Favorable Result than Ever Imagined” 

“My husband and I contacted the Lazarow Law Firm to request a consult about back taxes and collection efforts that were already in progress by the IRS. … It was clear within the first five minutes of the meeting that Mr. Lazarow was an extremely efficient, skilled and practical attorney. In addition to having a high level skill set, Mr. Lazarow (and his assistant Lori Gray) were compassionate, kind, non-judgmental and reassuring. We hired Mr. Lazarow on the spot. The law firm took over from that point and all communication with the IRS was done by their office. They kept us informed along the way and constantly reassured us that we could go back to our normal life. Mr. Lazarow resolved our issues within 3 months and got us a more favorable result than we could ever have imagined. … [His] fees are so reasonable and worth every penny — plus some! Highly recommend the Lazarow Law Firm. Simply the best out there.” – Tracie
