Installment Agreements
Need help with back taxes? There are many reasons that people fall into tax debt, from self-employment income to cancellation of debt income. Regardless of the reason, if you are unable to immediately pay the entire balance due, you need an affordable payment arrangement.
Nonprofit 501(c)(3)
Performing charitable work has many challenges. Having the IRS recognize you as a charity and designating you as a 501(c)(3) organization should not be among those challenges. Neither should the organization worry about maintaining that status as a nonprofit organization once you have secured it.
Business Formation
Choosing the appropriate legal entity is a crucial step when starting your business. How you decide to plan its legal structure is one of the most important decisions. The way in which your business is formed will determine the personal liability of the founders, how taxes are paid, and other important details.
Offers in Compromise
Are you receiving mail from companies promising to fix your tax problems? Did the letter you received to notify you that the IRS has filed a Notice of Federal Tax Lien? Beware because you may be the target of predatory debt relief firms (OIC Mills). In July 2020, the IRS included these OIC Mill operators in its annual Dirty Dozen list of tax scams.

Estate Planning
Powers of Attorney & Living Wills
A standard power of attorney gives extensive powers to an individual or company (referred to as an agent or attorney in fact) to act on your own behalf and for your benefit. These powers granted under a durable power of attorney include handling financial and small business concerns, buying life insurance, settling claims, managing firm interests, making contributions, and employing expert assistance.
Probate Administration & Litigation
Administering a probate estate can be a very overwhelming undertaking for appointed executors or personal representatives. Quite often, the appointed executor or personal representative is a relative or good friend of the decedent.
