Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C.
Augusta IRS Tax Attorney
Serving Augusta from our Beverly Hills office. Most matters are handled entirely by phone and video.
Augusta's economy runs on three engines that draw outsized IRS attention: the Fort Eisenhower (formerly Fort Gordon) cyber and military payroll base, a sprawling medical complex anchored by Augusta University Health and the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center, and the once-a-year financial tornado that is The Masters - when Augusta National turns thousands of homeowners into short-term landlords and local businesses into entertainment-sponsorship machines. Each of these creates the kind of layered W-2, 1099, military-pay, rental-income, and business-expense exposure that triggers IRS audits and Georgia Department of Revenue notices. Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C. - the nation's premier IRS tax law firm for over 33 years, headquartered in Beverly Hills and representing clients in all 50 states - defends Augusta residents and businesses against IRS audits, liens, levies, wage garnishments, back taxes, and Georgia DOR disputes. If you have received an IRS examination letter, a CP504 notice, or a Georgia DOR assessment, call before the collection clock and your appeal deadlines run out.

Frequently Asked Questions — Augusta IRS Tax Help
What IRS issues are most common for Augusta, Maine taxpayers?
Augusta, Maine's state capital, is dominated by state government employment. Maine State Retirement System (MSRS) pension distributions, deferred compensation, and legislative per diem income create specific IRS reporting obligations. Maine's income tax (up to 7.15%) coordinates with the IRS through the federal-state data exchange. Augusta's proximity to the Canadian border creates some FBAR exposure for residents with Canadian bank accounts.
Does Maine's income tax create significant audit exposure for Augusta state employees?
Maine's 7.15% top income tax rate means IRS audit adjustments create substantial automatic state tax follow-up through the federal-state data exchange. Maine Revenue Services participates in IRS data sharing — federal audit results automatically trigger Maine state deficiency notices. Augusta state employees who receive large pension distributions or deferred compensation payouts face both federal and state audit exposure. SCL handles federal IRS matters for Augusta clients.
Can Segal, Cohen & Landis represent Augusta and Maine clients?
Yes. SCL serves Augusta, Portland, Bangor, and all Maine clients remotely. We handle IRS audits, state employee pension issues, back taxes, FBAR, and all federal tax controversies.
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.
