Why Taxpayers Should Hire a Tax Attorney
The short answer is that hiring a tax attorney to review and structure a taxpayers financial affairs can give the taxpayer some certainty that things are done right, in many cases it can save the taxpayer significant amounts of tax and later IRS problems, and it can reduce the chances that the taxpayers neighbors and creditors will find out about the taxpayers financial and tax affairs.
Our tax administration system (such as the Internal Revenue Service and Tax Court System) and tax laws can be complex. Unless taxpayers are willing to take the time to become familiar with our tax administration system and tax laws and they are willing to devote a significant amount of time dealing with their tax issues, this complexity will favor the government.
There are numerous examples of where the government was able to collect more from unrepresented taxpayers than it would have been able to collect if the taxpayer had opted to hire a competent tax attorney. In most of these cases it would have cost the taxpayer significantly less to hire a tax lawyer than the amount of IRS penalties, interest and additional tax that the taxpayer ended up having to pay. And this does not even factor in the time and brain damage that the taxpayer had to expend and endure in the process.
Even then, the courts have the power to order the IRS to pay for the taxpayers attorneys fees.
