Experienced New York Tax Lawyer Representing Individual and Corporate Taxpayers
Whether you find yourself dealing with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or you have concerns about the IRS might find in the event of an audit or investigation, it is important to deal with your situation proactively. While tax law violations can lead to substantial penalties, it is also possible to mitigate (or avoid) these penalties in many cases. A New York tax lawyer at Thorn Law Group can help, and our lawyers are available to provide representation on an emergency basis when necessary.
About Our Tax Practice
We handle all types of state and federal tax matters on behalf of individual and corporate taxpayers in New York. If you need advice or representation in any of the following areas, we encourage you to contact us promptly for a confidential consultation:
Business Tax Law
We represent companies of all sizes in business tax law matters. This includes everything from structuring transactions to minimize federal tax liability to seeking penalty relief and defending against IRS tax audits and investigations.
Criminal Tax Law
Allegations of willful tax evasion, willful tax fraud and other statutory violations can lead to serious criminal charges under the Internal Revenue Code. We defend individual and corporate taxpayers against all types of criminal allegations.
International Tax Law
We assist individual and corporate taxpayers with international tax matters as well. Our experience in this area ranges from Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance to defending against allegations of cross-border tax evasion.
IRS Tax Audits & Litigation
A significant portion of our practice involves representing taxpayers in IRS tax audits and litigation. We handle all types of audits (including correspondence, office and field audits), appeals and litigation in the U.S. Tax Court.
IRS Voluntary Disclosures
Voluntary disclosure provides an opportunity to avoid prosecution for willful tax law violations. However, submitting a voluntary disclosure can also be very risky, so an informed and strategic approach is required.
Offshore Bank Accounts
We assist many high-income and high-net-worth clients with disclosing their offshore bank accounts in accordance with the BSA and Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). Failure to comply with the BSA and FATCA annually can trigger civil or criminal penalties.
IRS PPP Investigations
Combating Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) fraud remains a priority for the IRS. We defend individuals and companies throughout New York in IRS PPP investigations involving loan applications, use of PPP funds and loan forgiveness certifications.
IRS ERC Investigations
Combating Employee Retention Credit (ERC) fraud remains a priority for the IRS as well. We have extensive experience defending individuals and companies during IRS ERC investigations involving a wide range of civil and criminal allegations.
IRS Affordable Care Act Audits
Employers seeking to take advantage of the tax benefits available under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) must strictly comply with the statute’s requirements. The IRS routinely targets ACA compliance during business tax audits, and noncompliance can trigger steep penalties.
IRS Partnership Audits
The IRS prioritizes partnership tax compliance as well. It has identified several “red flags” for potential unlawful partnership tax shelters, and it aggressively pursues audits targeting general partnerships, limited partnerships and individual partners.
