Tax Attorney & Founder, Clarity Tax Counsel

About
My practice covers federal and SALT controversy (IRS and state DOR audits, appeals, and Tax Court litigation) and planning (structuring and positioning work to get the treatment right before it becomes a dispute). I work across a range of industries, including some that draw heavier scrutiny (gambling, cannabis, content creators, nonprofits) but the core is the same: technical tax work done well, with a flat-fee model.

Services
- Offer in Compromise / Collections ResolutionOwe more than you can pay? I'll evaluate every collection alternative — offer in compromise, installment agreement, or currently-not-collectible status — run the financial analysis the IRS will scrutinize, and pursue the resolution you actually qualify for. Straight answer on what's realistic before we commit. Flat fee. No judgment, no high-pressure promises of pennies on the dollar.Contact
- Voluntary Disclosure (VDA)Unfiled returns, unreported income, or offshore exposure you want to get ahead of before the IRS finds it? Voluntary disclosure can resolve the liability and take criminal referral off the table — but only if it's done right and before an examination begins. I'll assess your eligibility, weigh the IRS program against state and streamlined options, and manage the disclosure end to end. Confidential, flat-staged fee. The sooner you move, the more options you have.Contact
