Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C.
Birmingham IRS Tax Attorney
Serving Birmingham from our Beverly Hills office. Most matters are handled entirely by phone and video.
When the IRS or the Alabama Department of Revenue targets a Birmingham taxpayer, the exposure rarely stops at a single return - a federal audit of UAB physician income, a Jefferson County occupational tax dispute, or unpaid payroll taxes from a Lakeshore Drive small business can quickly escalate into liens, levies, and personal liability. Segal, Cohen & Landis represents Birmingham residents and business owners in IRS audits, back taxes, offers in compromise, payroll tax controversies, and Alabama DOR disputes from its Beverly Hills headquarters. As "The Nation's Premier IRS Tax Law Firm for Over 33 Years," the firm has resolved federal tax matters in all 50 states, and IRS practice is governed by federal law - meaning Birmingham clients receive the same elite representation without an Alabama-based firm. If you have received an IRS notice, an Alabama DOR assessment, or a Final Notice of Intent to Levy, the window to respond is short - call before the deadline closes.

Frequently Asked Questions — Birmingham IRS Tax Help
What IRS issues are most common for Birmingham taxpayers?
Birmingham's healthcare (UAB Health, Ascension St. Vincent's) and manufacturing sectors create physician partnership income, executive compensation, and payroll tax IRS issues. Alabama's income tax (up to 5%) and Jefferson County's occupational license fee coordinate with federal IRS obligations. Birmingham's steel and materials industry legacy creates pension distribution and retiree benefit taxation issues. Alabama's DOR participates in federal-state data sharing with the IRS.
Does UAB Health or the healthcare industry in Birmingham create IRS audit risk?
Yes. UAB Health physicians in group practice arrangements face complex Schedule K-1 partnership income reporting, self-employment tax calculations, and large deferred compensation plans. UAB's research community also creates fellowship income, grant classification, and FBAR issues for international faculty. Healthcare industry payroll tax compliance is an active IRS examination area nationally — including Birmingham. SCL handles IRS issues for Birmingham healthcare professionals.
Can Segal, Cohen & Landis represent Birmingham and Alabama clients?
Yes. SCL serves Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile, and all Alabama clients remotely. We handle IRS audits, healthcare professional tax 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.
