You absolutely need to consult with a NH attorney about your specific case. In the meantime, here are examples of tax cases.

• Norman runs a motel in the middle of nowhere and a taxidermy business on the side. When the economy tanked, so did his business. He can’t keep up with his tax payments from a 3 year old tax settlement with the IRS and needs a tax attorney to renegotiate his settlement, if possible.

• The IRS has accused Marion of not claiming cash payments from work. She is facing jail time for tax evasion and needs a strong defense.

• The New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration has cited Lila for failing to file her state tax return for capital gains. Penalties and interest have been assessed. Lila admits she was distracted because she was looking for her sister. What are her options?

• Sam has seen the television commercials with tax lawyers claiming to be able to get favorable settlements with the IRS. He wants to know how negotiating would work in his case. He also needs help filing back tax returns.

• Milton is a public servant and abides by the law. His wife’s business is being audited. He fears that she is being targeted because this is the third audit in 5 years.

• Norman’s mother wants to know what will happen to her if she calls the IRS fraud hotline to report her husband who left her years ago. She just knows he’s a cheater.
