There is nothing worse than having the Internal Revenue Service or another taxing authority such as the California State Board of Equalization SBE, the California Franchise Tax Board FTB, or the California Employment development Department EDD chasing after you. However, as a taxpayer, you have rights, including the right to consult a tax lawyer.We understand that dealing with a tax problem, whether it is a tax audit by the IRS, a California sales tax audit by the State Board of Equalization or a payroll tax problem with the Employment Development Department, can be a very stressful experience. Therefore, our tax lawyers work not only to minimize the taxes our clients owe, but also to reduce their stress by taking the weight of dealing with the IRS on a daytoday basis off their shoulders.
