At the Law Offices of Horwitz & Citro, P.A., our experienced team of lawyers handle both criminal and civil tax litigation against the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Our skilled legal professionals engage the IRS in negotiations to settle tax claims against people and businesses throughout the greater Orlando area.

Some tax matters require civil litigation if you want to achieve a fair resolution of your tax dispute, which is why our legal team is here to provide you with the legal advice and assistance that you need to secure the results you deserve.

Civil tax litigation can take place in the following courts:

• U.S. District Court
• The U.S. Court of Federal Claims
• The U.S. Tax Court

Why Do I Need a Lawyer for My Tax Matter?

There are advantages and disadvantages when you decide to pursue your claim in each of the courts listed above. DOJ represents the IRS in the District Court and the Court of Federal Claims, while IRS attorneys prosecute matters in Tax Court.

The tax payer is entitled to a jury trial in District Court, however, no jury is provided in the Court of Federal Claims or Tax Court. The tax payer must pay the tax before seeking a refund when pursuing the matter in District Court and the Court of Federal Claims. In Tax Court, the tax payer does not need to pay the tax prior to suing the Commissioner of IRS. IRS legal counsel represents the Commissioner in these cases.

Here’s Why People Choose Our Law Frim

If you cannot resolve your tax dispute with the IRS, or you are unhappy with a decision you received from the IRS, you should get in touch with our knowledgeable attorneys at the Law Offices of Horwitz & Citro, P.A. to discuss the details of your tax case.

Recently, we successfully represented a husband and wife being audited by California taxing authorities. The California Franchise Tax Board conducted an extensive examination and investigation which lasted almost 2 years. Our legal team worked closely with a forensic accountant and provided significant amounts of documentation to establish that our clients’ actions were correct.

Another case we represented was an owner of a tax return preparation business. The U.S. sued the owner for $11,000,000.00 which represented all the money earned by the several tax return preparation business locations. The case could not be settled, and we went to trial in the U.S. District Court. The Government recovered $0.00.
