Tax Law

Few things are more stressful than receiving a letter from the IRS or the Wisconsin Department of Revenue. Tax disputes can quickly escalate from a simple notice to wage garnishments, bank levies, and liens against your property. Having an experienced tax attorney on your side protects your rights and often results in a far better outcome than facing the tax authorities alone.

At Smith & Associates, we represent individuals and businesses in all types of federal and state tax matters. We negotiate installment agreements and offers in compromise, defend clients in IRS and Wisconsin Department of Revenue audits, challenge tax assessments through the Tax Appeals Commission, respond to collection actions, and provide proactive tax planning to prevent disputes before they arise.

We also handle payroll tax controversies, trust fund recovery penalties, innocent spouse relief, and tax issues arising in divorce, estate planning, and business transactions. Our goal is to resolve tax problems efficiently while minimizing the long-term impact on your finances.
