Frequently Asked Questions — Denver IRS Tax Help
I own a cannabis dispensary in Denver. How does Section 280E affect my federal taxes?
Section 280E prevents cannabis businesses from deducting ordinary business expenses (rent, payroll, utilities, advertising) beyond cost of goods sold — regardless of state legality. This results in effective federal tax rates of 50-70% for many Colorado cannabis businesses. SCL handles IRS audits of cannabis business returns and advises on COGS maximization and entity structure strategies to reduce 280E impact.
I have oil and gas investments in Colorado. Are there specific IRS audit risks?
Yes. Working interest income, intangible drilling cost deductions, percentage depletion, and passive activity rules for energy investments are all IRS audit targets. SCL handles IRS examination of energy investment returns for Denver investors.
Can SCL help with Colorado Department of Revenue disputes?
SCL focuses on federal IRS representation. For Colorado state tax matters, we coordinate with Colorado tax counsel. Call to discuss your situation and we'll ensure the right resources are engaged for both federal and state issues.
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.
