Frequently Asked Questions — Albany IRS Tax Help
I'm a New York State employee in Albany with a pension. What are the federal tax implications?
New York State pension distributions are taxable at the federal level. New York State exempts its own pension income from state tax, but federal taxation applies fully. SCL advises Albany public employees on federal tax compliance for pension distributions and handles IRS examination of public employee compensation.
New York claims I'm a state resident even though I live in Albany only part of the year. What can I do?
New York's statutory residency rules deem someone a resident if they maintain a permanent place of abode in NY and spend more than 183 days in the state. New York audits these cases aggressively. SCL handles New York nonresident audit defense and coordinates with New York tax counsel to challenge improper residency determinations.
Can SCL help with IRS audit issues for Albany government contractors?
Yes. Government contractors in the Albany area with federal contracts, indirect cost rates, and complex expense allocation structures are IRS examination targets. SCL handles IRS audits of contractor business returns and expense deductions for Albany-area federal contractors.
How quickly can you stop a wage garnishment or bank levy?
In most cases, we can issue an IRS levy release or garnishment suspension within 24–72 hours of being retained, pending IRS processing. The first step is a free consultation to assess your situation.
What is the cost of a tax attorney consultation?
We offer a free initial consultation to evaluate your situation. Fee schedules vary by case type and complexity — we are transparent about fees before any engagement.
