Rather than employing a combative, confrontational approach that can waste significant amounts of time and money, our attorneys apply a firm, but cooperative, approach based on legal expertise and extensive knowledge of internal IRS operations, procedures and organizational culture. The rapidly expanding ability of the IRS to secure previously secret account information from foreign banks and governments has caught by surprise numerous well-meaning people, many of whom were unaware of new strict reporting and compliance measures under the Bank Secrecy Act which the IRS is now only beginning to enforce and the Foreign Account Compliance Act which will spear-head the next round of IRS enforcement in 2012 and in future years. Our attorneys possess the necessary experience to obtain equitable, often favorable, outcomes for these individuals. Our approach to dealing with the IRS is based on solid experience and common sense. In the great majority of cases, an IRS agent wants to determine the accuracy of the tax reported on a return and move on to the next case as soon as possible. Our experience teaches we can be far more effective in representing clients before the IRS by being cooperative and business-like. With years of valuable experience, Mopsick Carrere, LLP is the logical, effective and sophisticated approach to resolving federal and California state tax issues.
