Experienced Counsel and Action for People With IRS or California Tax Problems
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME?
The three questions I am asked most often are: Am I going to jail? With rare exceptions, no. Am I going to lose my house? Only if you continue to ignore those scary letters the IRS has been sending to you for months. Will they [continue to] empty out my bank account? Not if you obtain competent representation.
If the IRS or a California tax authority has contacted you, this is no time to panic but definitely time to be genuinely concerned. Based on decades of experience, the most important guidance I can offer is: Do not face your audit or other tax problem on your own.
Instead, contact me, attorney Scott Kauffman, as soon as possible for a consultation. I am a tax attorney based in Irvine, California, with advanced degrees in tax law and nearly 30 years of overall legal experience and well over 20 years devoted exclusively to tax work. At my firm, you can benefit from the skill, resources and capabilities to help you or your business overcome adversity — or the wide-ranging knowledge to advise you on a full range of tax issues before you run into problems.
Experienced Legal Counsel on Tax Debt, Investigations and Defense
There are few more feared powers and imposing legal opponents than the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This is truer than ever with an active, ongoing movement to increase audits, add collectors and crack down on anyone suspected of tax crimes, improprieties, avoidance or negligence — especially in California.
My experience in decades of practice extends to a full range of specific areas within tax law. I offer guidance and representation for small businesses and individuals:
- Notified of an IRS audit or otherwise contacted by the IRS
- Needing representation in tax controversy negotiations or litigation involving unfiled returns, alleged unpaid taxes, collections and levies or a range of other specific tax problems
- Aggressive defense in an alleged tax evasion, fraud, or other tax case that goes to federal court
- Interested in new tax law opportunities such as the new Voluntary Classification Settlement Program (VCSP)

You need veteran legal counsel to present your case in the best light, and to work to minimize any penalties and fight any criminal charges.
