Frequently Asked Questions
How can I minimize my tax liability legally?
Legal tax minimization involves strategic timing of income recognition and deductions, utilizing available tax credits, maximizing retirement contributions, structuring business operations efficiently, and implementing estate planning strategies. Our tax attorneys can develop a comprehensive plan tailored to your specific financial situation while ensuring full compliance with tax laws.
What should I do if I receive an IRS audit notice?
If you receive an audit notice, first review the scope and deadlines carefully. Don't ignore it, as this can lead to default assessments. Contact a tax attorney immediately before responding to the IRS. Gather all relevant documentation supporting your tax positions. Having professional representation significantly improves your chances of a favorable outcome and helps protect your rights throughout the audit process.
How does international tax compliance affect my business?
International tax compliance affects businesses through reporting requirements (FBAR, FATCA), transfer pricing regulations, foreign tax credits, withholding obligations, and permanent establishment considerations. Non-compliance can result in significant penalties, double taxation, and reputational damage. Our international tax team helps navigate these complex requirements to maintain compliance while optimizing your global tax structure.
