Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

The Insight Law is a law firm that focuses on tax legal issues between taxpayers and the IRS, or State of Washington. At Insight Law, located in Seattle, Washington, we help our individual and business clients efficiently resolve tax disputes and minimize tax liability. Our firm uses a value added approach to minimize your tax liability for the lowest possible cost by eliminating useless steps that only increase your legal costs, but do not decrease your overall tax liability.

If you are having a tax problem, you need an experienced local tax attorney, and not a national chain of enrolled agents and CPAs that charge a lot and provide little in return. At Insight Law, we believe in client-centric service and place a heavy premium on prompt client communication, while still providing top-notch representation from an experienced Tax Attorney in the Seattle Area.

Our Tax Attorneys are experienced in every facet of tax controversy. If you are facing an audit, Notice of Deficiency, litigation, lien, levy, or garnishment, and you need a dedicated tax attorney to represent you before the IRS, or you need representation in a tax matter against the State of Washington, let Insight Law be that representative. With offices in Bellevue, Burien, Everett and our main office in downtown Seattle, you will find us to be conveniently located. We handle all tax matters including Income, Employment, Property, B&O, and Estate and Gift Taxes.

Even if you already have an outstanding Washington State or IRS Tax Debt, and are already subject to a lien, levy, or wage garnishment, we can help immediately. Our attorneys will use a comprehensive, strategic approach to minimize your liability and achieve the best possible outcome.

Practice Areas Description

Our practice includes:

- Business and Corporate Tax Issues

If you are a business owner or representative for a corporation, you know that a tax dispute or issue can seriously impact your investments and interests. In addition to liability, an audit could have a long-term impact on your productivity and future opportunities. At Insight Law in Seattle, Washington, we help business and corporate clients reduce tax liability and resolve disputes with the IRS with minimal penalties and costs. We also handle business tax planning, entity formation, compliance issues relating to tax-exempt organizations, complex business tax return preparation and other tax and business legal services.

- Tax Audits

Our Seattle tax audit attorneys are intimately familiar with tax law and business and corporate tax issues and understand every step of the audit process. We will explain all of your rights to ensure that you do not make any moves that could cause the scope of the audit to grow. If you are unable to resolve the issue during the audit stage, we have the experience to represent you in tax litigation. If you are dissatisfied with the auditor's decision, we can represent you in the IRS appeals process. A taxpayer should never prepare for the appeal process alone. We will guide you through the audit process and help you obtain the most favorable outcome.

- Relief of Liens, Levies and Garnishments

Liens and levies could have a disastrous impact on your credit and your ability to run your business. However, you do have options. The IRS usually sends a letter notifying you of a levy, lien or garnishment. You have 30 days to take action or you will lose the right to protect your assets. We will take immediate action to prevent or stop levies, garnishments and liens. If a levy or wage garnishment is causing you significant hardship, we can negotiate with the IRS to stop it or reduce the amount being collected. We will explore other options such as starting a payment plan, negotiating an offer in compromise or pursuing innocent spouse relief.

- Employment Tax and Trust Fund Penalties

As an employer, you are responsible for withholding state and federal taxes from your employees and paying them to the government. Failure to do so could result in serious penalties and interest. If you are having employment tax issues or are at risk of being assessed a trust fund penalty, having a creative Seattle employment tax attorney is a must. At Insight Law in Seattle, Washington, we are focused exclusively on helping business owners resolve tax disputes with as few penalties and interruptions to their business as possible.

- State and Local Taxes

As a business owner, you know how difficult it can be to navigate the state, county and municipal taxes, especially if you have businesses in more than one location. Without an experienced tax attorney by your side, you could be paying more than what is owed. At Insight Law in Seattle, Washington, we help business owners address issues relating to state and local taxes. As your dedicated advocates, we will protect your rights and ensure that you only pay the taxes you owe.

- Tax Litigation

If you are involved in a tax dispute with the IRS or state of Washington, you are up against a formidable opponent with unlimited resources to achieve a favorable outcome against you. Our Seattle tax litigation attorneys represent individuals and business owners in United States Tax Court, Federal District Court and the Court of Federal Claims. We also handle administrative proceedings with the Department of Revenue regarding sales and use tax. We will ensure that your rights are protected throughout every stage of the litigation process and that you don't become a victim to the IRS or state of Washington.

- Penalty Relief

Taxpayers are governed by strict deadlines for filing returns and paying taxes. Failure to comply with these deadlines may result in a dizzying array of penalties and monetary sanctions, making a difficult financial situation that much worse. At Insight Law in Seattle, Washington, we represent individuals and business clients who owe penalties to the IRS. We help you get the relief that you need from these costly penalties. We also help individuals and business owners avoid penalties through our tax planning services.

- Collections and Settlements

If you have received a collection letter from the IRS, consulting with an experienced Seattle tax collection attorney as soon as possible can help you protect your rights and avoid penalties and other consequences such as liens, levies and garnishments. At Insight Law in Seattle, Washington, we are powerful advocates for business owners and individuals who are facing IRS collection actions. We take a comprehensive approach to help you resolve your tax issues and minimize liability.

- Tax Planning

By the time you are ready to file your taxes, there is little that can be done to reduce your tax liability. Through proactive tax planning, you will be able to maximize all of the benefits that are available to you under the tax code and avoid penalties. Our Seattle tax planning attorneys will take the time to learn about your unique financial situation and objectives and create a strategy that is tailor-made for you. Our lawyers also provide tax preparation services for individuals and businesses with complex returns. We will ensure that you receive every credit and deduction allowed by the tax code.

- Nonprofit/Tax-exempt Organizations

A nonprofit, tax-exempt business faces unique and complex legal challenges not encountered by for-profit businesses. Whether you are just starting a nonprofit business or need assistance complying with federal tax regulations, our attorneys offer experienced and creative legal guidance. We will help you navigate these laws and regulations so you can focus on accomplishing the goals of your organization. Once your nonprofit organization is formed, there are strict rules and regulations that you must follow in order to maintain tax-exempt status. We will explain all of your rights and responsibilities as a tax-exempt business and help you maintain compliance with this ever-evolving area of law.
