When one business purchases another business or two businesses join together, the tax implications can be very complex. Our law office can help you navigate through the complexities and push your business in the right direction.

Tax controversy involves the government proposing assessments of taxes, assessing those taxes and attempting to collect based on facts and circumstances related to a tax reporting and/or tax payment obligation of a taxpayer (e.g., an individual, business or estate or trust).

Whether the controversy involves income tax issues, withholding and reporting obligations, or other taxes under the Internal Revenue Code or other taxing authority, Mr. Brooker has experience in the application of the tax laws concerning assessments, protests, and appeals of tax matters.

This firm limits its tax controversy practice to those matters where there is either (1) a defense to the assessment – that is, the assessment of tax is improper (the IRS or other taxing agency is improperly assessing a tax against a taxpayer) or (2) there is a defense to the payment of the assessed obligation – that is, there is a legal reason that even if the assessment is proper, the specific taxpayer does not owe the tax.
