Michigan Tax Lawyers for Counsel with Federal and State Tax Issues

It only takes a glance at a $100 bill, with Benjamin Franklin on the front, to be reminded of one of his most famous quotes “In this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes” Centuries later, this quote still rings true, as Michigan residents are required to pay all sorts of taxes, including state and federal income taxes, property taxes, sales tax, gasoline tax, business tax, capital gains taxes, among others. Although Franklin was correct that taxes cannot be entirely avoided, the qualified Michigan tax lawyers with Neumann Law Group may be able to help you reduce your tax burden, or settle tax disputes and avoid criminal liability.

The IRS may consider an "offer in compromise" (OIC), representing a reduced amount compared to the actual tax obligation owed to the federal government, in specific limited scenarios. The less common situation arises when a genuine dispute exists regarding the precise amount owed to the IRS. In cases where both parties hold reasonable positions, the IRS is open to settling for an amount that avoids the necessity of prolonged legal proceedings. More frequently encountered, however, are instances where the taxpayer faces challenges in paying the full amount due. This can stem from limitations in income and assets or specific economic hardships. Economic hardships typically refer to situations where full payment would be deemed unfair or inequitable, particularly when the taxpayer is undergoing significant health problems. With the help of Neumann Law Group, you can make a strong case to pay a reduced amount to settle your IRS tax debt.
