Also targeted are high-valued property, bank accounts and investments.
I can assist you with all tax controversy matters, including:
- IRS audits and appeals
- Potential tax fraud audits
- Offshore bank accounts
- IRS asset seizure
- Tax audit representation
- Tax evasion/fraud

High Income Taxpayer? Why You Need Tax Representation Now
In 2010 the audit rate for the general population was 1.1 percent. For taxpayers earning more than $1 million it was 8.4 percent. For those earning $10 million or more, the audit rate went up almost 8 points at 18.4 percent. As you can see from these numbers, the IRS is targeting the wealthy more than ever. In fact, the IRS has a unit of specialized auditors just for the wealthy. Certain activities are actually looked for by these highly-trained agents including:
- Property transfers
- Investment losses
- Home interest deductions
- Offshore accounts and foreign income
- Large spending
