Inaccurate or ill advised tax reporting may result in substantial federal and state taxes, penalties and interest, as well as the seizure of assets. This can result from simple errors or omissions, employee theft or sometimes something as simple as spouses filing joint returns. When a business entity or an individual is delinquent in federal or state tax payments, attorneys at Wilson Ratledge can assist in resolving the debt. The Firm’s attorneys regularly represent clients before state and federal tax collection authorities to eliminate or reduce tax liability and develop a tax payment plan that enables the client to fulfill any obligation. Depending on the type of taxes owed and the age of the liability, the options include installment agreements, offers in compromise, uncollectable status and bankruptcy.
