Our Practice

Tax

Tsao-Wu, Chow & Yee LLP is one of the few tax legal offices that is owned by lawyers. Most tax services are owned by individuals who employ CPAs and enrolled agents. At Tsao-Wu, Chow & Yee LLP, we have attorneys who actually worked in government tax agencies such as the Franchise Tax Board. Because of our extensive knowledge of the public tax agencies, we are able to make that knowledge work for you.

Tsao-Wu, Chow & Yee LLP concentrates on complete tax services for business and individuals in trouble with the IRS and the Franchise Tax Board. Our Staff has experience in all areas of taxation, from Offers in Compromise and long-term payment plans to audit representation, late return filing, penalty abatement, wage garnishments, bankruptcy, and levy release.

We will work hard to negotiate installment payment agreements with the tax agencies, negotiate release of liens that are attached your bank accounts, property and wages, and we will attempt to reduce or eliminate tax bills that are in error. Finally, if you are unable to sell your home due to the tax liens, we will help you discharge or subordinate tax liens to allow you to sell or refinance your property.

Our staff has extensive experience in representing you and/or your business in order to avoid imminent collection actions and to remove levies or liens from your property. In addition, we will advise you on how to reduce or minimize the risk of future audits, penalties, and liens. We will also advise you on how to amend or submit unfilled tax returns to reduce the tax that the IRS or FTB has assessed against you.

We encourage you to call us and set up an appointment for a free initial consultation so that our attorneys can discuss with you the various ways we can help you with your tax problems.
