Federal and State Tax Resolution Throughout Manhattan
IRS Audit Defense and Back Tax Settlement
Manhattan residents choose tax law representation when IRS notices arrive demanding immediate response or when years of unfiled returns create mounting liability that threatens financial stability. The Michelson Law Offices handles both federal and state tax matters, from audit defense that challenges IRS findings to back tax settlement negotiations that reduce what clients ultimately owe through offer-in-compromise agreements or installment arrangements.
When dealing with tax enforcement in Manhattan, timing determines available options. The IRS moves quickly from initial notices to collection actions including wage garnishment and bank levies, leaving taxpayers with shrinking windows to negotiate favorable outcomes. Legal representation means responding to IRS communications with documentation that supports your position, challenging assessments that contain errors, and presenting financial information in ways that maximize settlement opportunities.
Stopping Wage Garnishment and Resolving Tax Liens
If you need wage garnishment removal in Manhattan, immediate legal intervention offers the best path to restoring your full income. The IRS can seize significant portions of each paycheck without court approval, leaving taxpayers struggling to cover basic living expenses. Representation focuses on negotiating release agreements, establishing payment plans that satisfy IRS requirements, or demonstrating financial hardship that qualifies for currently-not-collectible status.
Tax lien resolution requires different strategies depending on whether you're trying to release an existing lien, subordinate it to allow refinancing, or withdraw it entirely after satisfying tax obligations. Liens damage credit, complicate property sales, and signal serious tax problems to lenders and business partners. Professional guidance navigates the paperwork and negotiations needed to clear these encumbrances from public records.
If you're facing IRS collection actions or struggling with unresolved tax debt in Manhattan, experienced counsel can evaluate your situation and present options that protect your income and assets while addressing outstanding liabilities.
