An audit notice from the IRS or Florida Department of Revenue requires thorough preparation.

• Installment Agreements: Structuring manageable monthly payment plans based on realistic financial ability.

• Penalty Abatement: Submitting persuasive reasonable cause petitions to remove accumulated penalties and interest.
• Innocent Spouse Relief: Protecting clients from joint tax debts incurred due to a spouse's errors or fraud.
• Currently Not Collectible: Securing temporary pauses on collections during severe financial distress.

Receiving an IRS Notice of Deficiency gives a taxpayer 90 days to petition the United States Tax Court without prepaying disputed taxes. Patricia Carbone serves as lead counsel before the Tax Court, drafting detailed petitions and negotiating resolutions with IRS attorneys to protect client interests.
