Frequently Asked Questions

“Does your company offer regular income tax filing services?”

Yes, we do.

“Are tax attorney services expensive?  What kind of fees do you charge?”

It’s usually a one-time fee in the $300-$800 range; contact us for more information.

“Can I represent myself in an audit, or do I need to hire a tax attorney?”

You have both options available; the IRS issues something called a “Form 4549” at the conclusion of the examination, which can be appealed.  Thus, taxpayers can proceed with the examination on their own, or they can hire a representative.

“I’m thinking about starting a business in New Jersey; what are the tax implications of that?”

Congratulations on your new venture!  Starting your business in New Jersey entails various tax considerations, including income tax, sales tax, and payroll tax. A tax attorney can help you understand your tax obligations and structure your business in a tax-efficient manner, so feel free to contact us with any questions.

"How can I minimize my New Jersey tax liability?  Are there any special deductions?"

Indeed there are, and you are welcome to seek out tax attorney services like ours for more information, but New Jersey has many special tax rules.  (such as the deduction on income tax returns for property taxes, or for 18% of rent paid)

"I’m being audited by the IRS and, or, New Jersey  - what should I do?"

If you receive a tax audit notice, it's crucial to respond promptly and accurately. It's advisable to consult with a tax attorney who can represent you during the audit process, help gather necessary documentation, and ensure compliance with tax laws.

“Suppose I work in New York or another state but live in New Jersey.  Do I have to file in both states?”

Typically you will file a resident tax return in the state where you actually live, as well as a nonresident tax return in the other state.  You then receive a “credit” for the taxes paid to the other state. 

"Now that I’ve started my business, are there any tax incentives available for businesses in New Jersey?"

Yes, the state New Jersey offers various tax incentives and credits to businesses, such as the Grow NJ Assistance Program and the Economic Redevelopment and Growth Program. A tax attorney can provide advice and consultation in guiding you through the application process and help maximize your eligibility for these incentives.

"Can I appeal a tax assessment or decision made by the New Jersey Division of Taxation?"

Yes, taxpayers have the right to appeal tax assessments or decisions issued by the New Jersey Division of Taxation. A tax attorney can assist you in filing an appeal, presenting your case before the appropriate authorities, and advocating for a favorable outcome.
