IRS Tax Attorney Washington
  • The united states is home to some of the
    strangest tax laws anywhere in the world. In this
    country, individual states implement and govern
    their own tax codes, which are completely
    separate from those imposed by the federal
    government. Occasionally, the codes enforced by
    the states are created to provide some much
    needed financial relief to tax-payers. But more
    often than not, these codes are designed to
    generate additional revenue for the states.

  • Here are a few interesting examples vending
    machines stocked with candy are making somebody a
    lot of money. These things are everywhere, and
    are an impulse-snackers best friend. And if
    youre at the airport and your blood-sugar drops,
    it is not at all far-fetched to spend four bucks
    on a snickers bar. More often than not, we are
    encouraged to eat healthy. But if youre in
    California and you choose some fruit over the
    candy bar from the vending machine, youll also
    be eating an extra 33 percent in vending-tax.

  • Yes, there are some wacky taxes here in the land
    on the free. This is something that those living
    in California, Oregon and Washington state are
    particularly familiar with. Oregon made national
    news not that long ago when they took the
    gigantic step of legalizing marijuana for casual
    use within the state. Issuing marijuana licenses
    to retailers was a revolutionary move which
    helped the state enjoy unprecedented economic
    growth and prosperity. And just a few short years
    later, the state shared that prosperity with
    their residents by reducing the states marijuana
    sales tax from 24 percent, down to 17 percent.

  • During the great depression, 70 percent of
    Washington residents voted in favor of a state
    income tax. They did this not just once, but
    twice! In fact, the creation of an income tax was
    even more popular than the petition to repeal
    prohibition! That appeared on the same ballot,
    and was favored by 62 percent of residents. What
    a difference it makes when you cross the border
    into Oregon. But business owners challenged the
    law, and it was eventually deemed
    unconstitutional by the states supreme court.
    Since then, Washingtonians have repeatedly voted
    against the implementation of a state income tax.

  • Tax codes and laws in the pacific northwest can
    often be very confusing. And finding yourself on
    the wrong side of the state I.R.S. Can be a most
    unpleasant experience. If you end up in a
    position where you need some legal help with your
    state tax situation, youre in luck. Help is
    close at hand.

What Does A Tax Attorney Do?
  • Well, a tax attorney does several different
    things. For starters, they are a lawyer who has
    been specifically trained to handle all tax
    matters, be they personal or business related.
    Secondly, they can also function as both legal
    adviser, and financial consultant. And perhaps
    most importantly of all, a tax attorney is able
    to represent you in criminal matters.

When Would You Need A Tax Attorney?
  • Tax lien this occurs when a creditor places a
    hold against your personal or business assets.
    Typically a lien requires a court order to take
    effect. A tax attorney can advise you of the
    appropriate steps to have these types of liens
    removed, or even prevent them from happening in
    the first place.

10
  • Audits an IRS audit can be a very intimidating
    thing to experience. If you should happen to find
    yourself in this situation, you have every right
    to legal representation. A tax attorney can
    advocate for you, and speak on your behalf.

11
  • Estate planning planning for your death is never
    a fun thing to do. But its still pretty
    important, especially if youre leaving behind
    loved ones. A tax attorney can assist with the
    creation of a will, or any types of trusts that
    are necessary, and they can ensure proper
    execution of your wishes.

12
  • The California state bar association offers a
    wealth of knowledge, and provides a plethora of
    services that can help you navigate the waters
    patrolled by the tax man. From counseling
    services, to free legal assistance from licensed
    attorneys, everything you need is right at your
    fingertips. And if youre like most people, you
    are probably not in the financial position to
    take on the I.R.S. In a long and drawn out legal
    battle. But if money is a concern, it shouldnt
    be. The state bar of California specializes those
    with very low, or even zero income get the help
    and service they require.

13
  • If you happen to live in Oregon or Washington
    state, youre still covered. The Oregon state bar
    association, and the Washington state bar
    association both offer the same help and services
    to in need residents of their great states. Dont
    let the tax man get you down. If you live in
    California, Oregon or Washington state, help is
    available.
