Rockland County Tax Dispute Lawyer
In trouble with the IRS for delinquent taxes? Failure to pay state or federal taxes can result in significant penalties. While the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and New York Department of Taxation and Finance have tremendous power in tax collection, and assessment of late payment fees, all is not lost. With effective legal counsel, tax penalties can be abated.
Contact The Law Offices of High Janow, in Pearl River, New York, to discuss your situation and how to preserve your interests. Our law firm represents businesses and individuals with tax problems in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
Under state and federal tax laws, penalties can be assessed for various types of conduct associated with filing for taxes, reporting income, allocating deductions, and paying taxes:
- Filing taxes late
- Overvaluation
- Fraud
- Understatement
- Late payment
- Negligence
In many cases, late filing penalties and other penalties can amount to 25 percent or more of the total amount of funds involved. With the significant amount of assets that are typically involved, tax penalties can be outrageous.
However, if there is reasonable cause, the penalties assessed may be eliminated. Attorney Hugh Janow works with clients to demonstrate reasonable cause, eliminate penalties, and recover penalty payments which were previously made. In addition to interest and abatement requests, he works with clients to get the underlying tax problems, such as delinquent taxes, resolved. His experience and professional handling of tax disputes has proven effective for countless clients.
If you are facing assessment of tax penalties for failure to pay taxes or other conduct, do not simply pay the penalties. Contact our office in Pearl River, New York, to discuss your case and how we can help.
