Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C.
Atlanta IRS Tax Attorney
Serving Atlanta from our Beverly Hills office. Most matters are handled entirely by phone and video.
Atlanta business owners and high earners often discover their IRS exposure runs in parallel with a Georgia Department of Revenue problem - a federal audit triggers a state assessment, or a film tax credit gets clawed back by both agencies at once. Whether you are facing an IRS field audit, payroll tax liability under the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty, unfiled returns, or a six-figure back-tax balance, Segal, Cohen & Landis brings 33 years of focused IRS controversy practice to metro Atlanta from its Beverly Hills headquarters. As the nation's premier IRS tax law firm, SCL represents clients in all 50 states - federal tax law is identical in Fulton County and Beverly Hills, and our attorneys litigate before the IRS, Appeals, and U.S. Tax Court nationwide. If the IRS or Georgia DOR has sent you a notice, call before the assessment becomes a lien or levy.

Frequently Asked Questions — Atlanta IRS Tax Help
I work in Atlanta's film and television industry. What are my IRS audit risks?
Entertainment industry workers receiving residuals, royalties, and production income on multiple 1099s combined with business deductions are high-IRS-audit-risk. Georgia's entertainment tax credit program creates additional state-level compliance complexity. SCL handles IRS examination of entertainment industry income and advises on proper reporting of Georgia tax credit benefits.
I own a small business in Atlanta and am behind on taxes. What should I do?
Business tax delinquency — whether income tax, payroll tax, or both — requires immediate attention to prevent IRS enforcement. SCL handles installment agreements, payroll tax resolution, Trust Fund Recovery Penalty defense, and Offers in Compromise for Atlanta small business owners who need to get right with the IRS.
Can SCL help with IRS audits for Atlanta logistics and supply chain businesses?
Yes. Atlanta is a major logistics hub, and trucking, warehousing, and distribution businesses with high gross revenues and complex contractor arrangements are IRS audit targets. SCL handles IRS field audits of logistics and transportation businesses operating through the Atlanta metro.
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.
