Tax Attorney V. James Ferraro

Tax Problems? New Haven Tax Atty. Jim Ferraro can help!

Atty. Ferraro has been practicing law since 1974 and concentrates in Taxation Law. He knows IRS collection procedures and practices, and wants you to know that dealing with the IRS directly, by yourself, is both intimidating and risky.

The IRS has just two functions; to assess taxes, and then collect them. That's it! No matter how friendly or helpful an IRS representative seems to be, he is there to do his job, namely, assess and collect taxes from you! Trying to negotiate with the IRS on your own can be costly (and dangerous). You need a trained negotiator to represent your interests and to shield you from the pain of making mistakes that could cost you money or even your freedom.

Use A Tax Attorney, or Your Accountant?

Who should represent you in an adversarial relationship with the IRS or other taxing authority?

Your accountant will certainly tell you that your professional relationship with him/her is not protected by "privilege", that is to say, whatever you and your accountant have ever discussed, and whatever he knows of your financial dealings, he can be compelled to reveal! He may not want to do so, but he has no choice in the matter, as there is no such thing as accountant-client privilege!

Also, it's good to remember that your accountant prepared your tax return as accurately as possible, relying solely on information provided by you. If you did not provide complete and accurate information necessary for the proper preparation of your return, that's not your accountant's fault, it's yours...but your accountant may be put in the unenviable position of having to defend himself, too, through no fault of his own.

Your accountant will thank you for retaining a tax attorney to represent you in litigation with the IRS or other taxing authority, and your relationship with Tax Attorney Jim Ferraro is always fully protected by attorney-client privilege!

Negotiating Tax Settlements

The IRS follows strict guidelines when enforcing assessments and collections of taxes, and only a knowledgeable and experienced negotiator can effectively work on your behalf.

Your accountant, and even the lawyer who did the real estate closing when you purchased your home, does not have the years of experience in tax law that a tax attorney has. Nor do they have the litigation abilities of a tax lawyer. Tax attorneys argue cases every day in an adversarial setting. Accountants prepare returns and advise on financial strategies for minimizing tax liabilities. Each is a professional with his own specialized training and expertise. So when you're in a fight with the taxman, get yourself a tax attorney. Call Jim Ferraro right now.

Jim Ferraro not only knows taxation law, but he formerly represented the United States Government in tax litigation matters throughout the country. (That's right...he was on the other side of the aisle.) Who would you rather have representing you in tax court? Just ask your accountant. He'll advise you to hire a tax attorney.
