Oklahoma Tax Attorney
US tax laws are one of the strictest and most complex in the world as each state has its distinct tax laws. Its enforcement is monitored by the Oklahoma Department of Revenue and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Should they see any violations, they will use all of their legal power to collect unpaid taxes and liabilities from errant taxpayers. While there are cases wherein the violations are done deliberately, most are violations done because of the taxpayer’s inability to understand state and federal law and honest human error.

How a Tax Attorney can Help You
Defense Tax Partners’s experienced Oklahoma tax attorneys can help you with a wide variety of tax problems you may encounter. From sorting out your taxes to resolving any discrepancies in your tax records, you can count on us to help you out and get them done in no time at all.
Here are some of the situations we can help you with:
Prepare for and Contest Tax Audits
Tax audits are regularly done by both state and federal tax agencies to determine if one is following their tax responsibilities and has not violated tax law. While these agencies pick those undergoing the audit randomly, it is best to be prepared so that you are not caught off-guard by the auditing process when you are selected.
Defense Tax Partners will sit down with you to review your financial records and see if there are points in them that the IRS may use as a basis to place you on one of its audit schedules. We can get you ready for this eventuality and create the defense you need to clear any issues that may occur during the audit.
We can also defend your interests before the IRS, especially during investigations regarding these situations:
1. Clerical errors, typically data entry errors
2. Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
3. Self-employment cases with excessive reported losses
4. Non-existent dependents
5. Disproportionate or unusually high deductions. They commonly come in the form of charitable donations, large business expenditures, and home office deductions.
6. Unreported income
If the audit does not rule in your favor, we can help you file an appeal and fight for a lower penalty. After the audit process and sorting out your penalties, if there are any, we can give you pointers on how to avoid getting included in the IRS audit in the future.
Civil Penalty Relief
If you paid your dues late, fail to file your returns, or fail to pay key taxes, you will face civil penalties that must be paid regardless of the reason you failed to do your tax responsibility. Sometimes, these penalties are more expensive than the traditional fines for minor offenses.
Fortunately, you can request to be approved for one of the three IRS penalty relief programs to help you pay the penalties.
- Reasonable Cause
- Administrative Waiver and First Time Penalty Abatement
- Statutory Exception
Out of the three listed above, negotiating for reasonable cause is the most popular way to get rid of one’s civil penalties. Defense Tax Partners can look into your financial records to see which one of these programs can be applicable to you and effectively create a defense that we can argue with the IRS to get your application approved.
Settlement of Federal & State Tax Disputes
Defense Tax Partners‘s legal experts are trained to tackle both state and federal tax law, as well as work with the IRS and the state revenue department.
We are not just familiar with the tax regulations at both state and federal levels.

If you are unsure how to sort out your tax disputes, don’t hesitate to contact Defense Tax Partners for help. Our Oklahoma tax attorneys will be with you to explain each legal action we can take to resolve your tax situation.
Negotiations on Non-Filing of Taxes Violation
Defense Tax Partners can also help you negotiate for a lower penalty if you have failed to file your taxes.
For those who are unable to file their tax returns, the starting penalty is a 5% increase to your tax liability each month which goes to 25% the longer it is not resolved. If you fail or refuse to file your tax returns, you will be charged with a misdemeanor and may be punished up to 1 year in prison and fined up to $5,000. If you refuse to file a tax return with the intent to defraud or file false tax returns, you will be charged with a felony and can face 2 to 5 years in prison and up to $50,000 in fines.
We can help you speak to the IRS and negotiate for a lower penalty or get a flexible payment plan so you can pay the penalties without straining your finances. We will also make sure that you find the opening you are looking for to be able to file your returns on time and pay in full. If your situation is difficult and prevents you from keeping up with a set payment amount or schedule, we can negotiate with the IRS to provide you with an extension so you can sort out your payments.
