As you work towards building a strong business and comfortable family life, you naturally want to minimize the tax implications on your personal and business transactions. Yet at the same time, it’s important that you be aware of the rules and regulations for tax reporting, especially now that the IRS and NC Department of Revenue (NCDOR) are heightening their collection efforts. From time to time, taxpayers may get behind on their tax payments or be subject to adjustments resulting from audits or assessments by the taxing authorities.

Navigating disputes with state and federal tax authorities requires deep expertise and unwavering advocacy. In the event of an IRS or NCDOR audit or tax dispute, McCuiston Law Offices can help. Tom McCuiston is an experienced attorney who remains current on all IRS rules and regulations and is licensed to appear before the IRS, the NCDOR, and the U.S. Tax Court. We work diligently to protect your rights and achieve the best possible resolution for your case.
