Things to consider for the following types of help:
- Local Tax Attorneys
Most local tax attorneys say they will represent you in front of the IRS. But if you look at their website, you may notice that they work personal injuries, divorces, DUIs and speeding tickets. Dealing with the IRS is a very serious and complex matter. It is not something you want your local family attorney to handle. You should also double-check any contract, even if the retainer seems low.
- CPAs
Although CPAs can file your tax returns for you and do the accounting, understand that their normal duties usually do not include negotiating with the IRS on a daily basis. This is vital.
