Law Firm Overview

At the Tax Law Offices of David W. Klasing in Irvine, we offer the services of an attorney and a CPA for the price of one. Licensed as a lawyer in California and certified in public accounting, Attorney David Klasing provides businesses and individuals a wide spectrum of services in tax law, business law, estate planning and wills and trusts.

I founded my law firm to prevent tax problems for clients and to help them protect their interests in tax disputes. In tax preparation, I help clients avoid missed deductions and tax penalties. In audit representation and tax litigation, I provide aggressive representation focused on reducing or eliminating penalties.

I also assist clients who have been audited with IRS appeals or help them negotiate an offer in compromise. Among my successes, I helped a client who owed $1.5 million in back taxes reduce his tax debt to $240,000, and another client reduce her payroll tax debt as an alleged responsible party from $380,000 to nothing.

A business owner myself, I understand commercial enterprises and the tax implications of various business decisions. I know how critical accounting is to business operations and how choices about organizational structure can affect taxation and liability. As businesses grow, I help them determine the tax consequences of acquiring another company. To protect their assets and the future of their enterprises, I also help business owners prepare for succession.
