Local, State or Federal Tax Audits and Investigations
At Greenspan & Greenspan, our attorneys represent business and individual taxpayers who face significant potential liability for tax problems of all kinds: income tax, sales tax, capital gains, payroll tax and other local, state or federal obligations. With decades of experience in criminal tax defense, we can protect your interests when a tax matter is referred for indictment and prosecution. Our experience also tells us that it is much better to avoid a criminal case through productive participation in tax audits and investigations long before the case goes to a district attorney.
If you are facing tax problems, your first call should be to a lawyer, not your accountant. Your conversations with legal counsel are protected by privilege and can't be used against you. Contact Greenspan & Greenspan in White Plains or New City to learn how our attorneys can protect your interests. We can intervene on your behalf with the goals of containing your liability, compromising and resolving past obligations, and avoiding criminal exposure.
Businesses and individuals generally find our counsel to be highly cost effective in tax matters involving $25,000 or more. Our services include:
- Preparing your first response to a notice of tax audit or investigation
- Dealing with case agents and investigators
- Working with forensic accountants to establish a more realistic range of liability
- Assisting accountants with the filing of past-due or corrected returns where appropriate
- Negotiating penalties and interest
- Working to avoid responsible person liability on unpaid payroll tax obligations
- Protecting you from criminal investigations by the IRS or the Special Investigation Unit of the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance
The combination of civil and criminal tax experience that our firm offers can protect you in audits or investigations initiated by the IRS, the state Department of Taxation and Finance, or any local taxing authority in Westchester or Rockland County.
