Lapekas Law counsels clients on all phases of federal tax controversy, including the representation of taxpayers in IRS audits and before the U.S. Tax Court.

       If you are being audited or want to appeal the results of an audit, I can make sure you get the best possible result.  I will communicate with the IRS on your behalf, present facts and legal authority in support of your position to reduce the amount of tax the IRS says you owe, negotiate settlements or payment arrangements, and potentially identify situations where the IRS owes you money.

       If you are facing an IRS lien, levy, frozen refund, or trust fund penalty liability, I can help you obtain alternative solutions to the IRS’ collection efforts, including helping you reach an installment agreement, offer in compromise, or a “currently not collectible status.”  Additionally, I can help you determine whether Bankruptcy is a practical solution to your tax debts.
