Segal, Cohen & Landis

Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C.

Carson City IRS Tax Attorney

Serving Carson City from our Beverly Hills office. Most matters are handled entirely by phone and video.

As Nevada's capital and a magnet for Californians fleeing the nation's highest income tax, Carson City has become ground zero for FTB residency audits - the California Franchise Tax Board does not concede a departed taxpayer simply because they now vote in Eagle Valley, and it will trace every K-1, stock vesting, and consulting check back across the Sierra. Carson City residents facing IRS audits, back taxes, payroll-tax exposure, or aggressive California residency assessments can turn to Segal, Cohen & Landis, the Beverly Hills tax law firm that has defended taxpayers for over 33 years and litigates FTB domicile disputes from the California side of the line where they originate. Because the firm's IRS practice is federal, its representation reaches Carson City directly - Samuel Landis, Esq. (LL.M. Taxation) handles Collection Due Process, Offers in Compromise, and audit defense for Northern Nevada clients nationwide. If a Notice of Proposed Assessment or an IRS revenue officer has surfaced, the time to build your domicile record is before the hearing, not after the lien.

Sam resolved a six-figure IRS levy in under a week. He communicated every step clearly and got the result we needed. I can't recommend SCL highly enough.

Michael T. · 2024

I had an extremely complex FBAR and Form 3520 situation. Sam understood every nuance and handled the voluntary disclosure flawlessly. Genuinely the best in the field.

Priya R. · 2024

After receiving an IRS audit notice I was terrified. The team at SCL walked me through everything, represented me completely, and the audit closed with no changes. Worth every penny.

Frequently Asked Questions — Carson City IRS Tax Help

What IRS issues are most common for Carson City and Northern Nevada taxpayers?

Carson City's economy includes Nevada state government, casino industry, and proximity to the tech and gaming hub of Reno. Nevada has no state income tax — but federal IRS enforcement is fully active. State government employees have pension distribution and deferred compensation IRS issues. Nearby Reno's tech growth (Tesla Gigafactory, Apple, Google data centers) creates equity compensation and relocation income IRS issues for residents across Northern Nevada.

Does Nevada's no-income-tax status reduce federal IRS exposure?

Nevada has no state income tax, which eliminates state audit risk — but federal IRS enforcement is the same as in any other state. The IRS has significant collection and examination activity in Nevada, particularly for the casino and hospitality industry, gaming income, and self-employed individuals. Nevada's favorable business climate attracts business owners whose returns are still subject to full federal IRS scrutiny.

Can Segal, Cohen & Landis represent Carson City and Nevada clients?

Yes. SCL serves Carson City, Reno, Las Vegas, and all Nevada clients remotely. We handle IRS audits, gaming industry 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.

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.
