About Tax Attorneys
A tax attorney holds a Juris Doctor and is admitted to the bar of at least one US state; many also hold an LL.M. in Taxation. Attorneys are typically engaged for matters involving litigation risk, complex transactions, estate planning, IRS appeals, and US Tax Court petitions.
Tax attorneys hold a Juris Doctor (JD) from an ABA-accredited law school and are admitted to the bar of at least one state. Many tax attorneys also hold a Master of Laws in Taxation (LL.M.), which is a postgraduate specialization designed for attorneys who plan to focus on federal tax practice. Attorneys are admitted to practice before the US Tax Court without further examination.
Tax attorneys are typically engaged for matters where the consumer’s exposure goes beyond the four corners of a return: complex estate planning, business formation and reorganization, criminal tax investigation, US Tax Court petitions, federal court litigation, voluntary disclosure programs, and large-dollar offers in compromise. Many work in tandem with a CPA or Enrolled Agent who handles the underlying return preparation.
