• Tax Credits: Directly decrease the amount of tax owed, covering areas like education expenses, energy-efficient home improvements, and dependent care costs.
• Tax Exclusions: Certain income types, like gifts, inheritances, and interest from municipal bonds, are exempt from taxes.
• Tax Debt Relief: For those facing severe financial distress, the IRS offers programs to reduce or forgive tax debt, including:
  • Installment Agreements: Allow you to repay your tax debt gradually.
  • Offer in Compromise: Settle your tax debt for less than the owed amount.
  • Currently Not Collectible Status: Temporarily pause tax collection due to financial hardship.
  • Innocent Spouse Relief: Protect a spouse from being liable for the other's tax debt in specific situations.

How Partners Tax Defense Can Assist You

Our Louisiana tax attorneys are adept at managing both federal and state tax laws. Here's what we can do for you:

Relieving Civil Penalties

Late tax return filings or payments usually result in civil penalties. If unforeseen circumstances or financial hardships led to non-compliance, we can request civil penalty relief. The IRS offers several relief options:

• Reasonable Cause
• Administrative Waiver and First-Time Penalty Abatement
• Statutory Exceptions

We support your application with the necessary documentation and negotiate with the IRS on your behalf.

Preparing for and Representing in Audits
Even when you file taxes accurately and punctually, audits can still happen unexpectedly. Our legal team thoroughly reviews your financial records and addresses discrepancies proactively, ensuring you navigate audits with confidence. We address:

• Clerical errors
• Undeclared income
• Tax deduction issues
• Incorrectly declared dependents
• Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) problems
• Self-employment losses

Should significant errors be found, we negotiate reduced penalties and help prevent future audits with proper tax management.
