Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C.
Fargo IRS Tax Attorney
Serving Fargo from our Beverly Hills office. Most matters are handled entirely by phone and video.
Fargo's economy runs on farm operations, healthcare systems, and a fast-growing tech corridor - and each generates the kind of income the IRS flags hardest: cash-basis Schedule F farm receipts, equipment depreciation recapture, K-1 pass-through distributions, and mineral royalty payments from the Bakken just west of the city. When an IRS Revenue Agent opens an audit on a Cass County farm's deferred grain sales or questions a Red River Valley business owner's deductions, the exposure climbs into six figures fast. Segal, Cohen & Landis - the IRS tax law firm operating from Beverly Hills for over 33 years and representing clients in all 50 states - defends Fargo taxpayers against IRS audits, liens, levies, and back-tax collection. If you have received an IRS notice, an examination letter, or a North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner assessment, the time to engage counsel is before you respond.

Frequently Asked Questions — Fargo IRS Tax Help
What IRS issues are most common for Fargo and North Dakota taxpayers?
Fargo's economy — North Dakota State University, healthcare (Sanford Health, Essentia), banking, and agriculture — creates IRS audit exposure. North Dakota's agricultural heartland creates farm income, equipment depreciation, and crop insurance payment reporting issues. North Dakota's low flat income tax (up to 2.5%) coordinates with the IRS through data sharing. Fargo's growing technology sector (Microsoft, Amazon warehouse operations) creates equity compensation and payroll tax issues.
Does North Dakota's oil boom affect IRS issues for Fargo-area residents?
Yes. Western North Dakota's Bakken oil formation created significant royalty income and working interest income for landowners and mineral rights holders across the state — including many Fargo-area residents with family mineral interests. Oil royalty income is reported on Schedule E, and depletion deductions are frequently miscalculated. Mineral rights sales create capital gain or ordinary income depending on the nature of the rights. SCL advises North Dakota clients on oil royalty and mineral rights IRS reporting.
Can Segal, Cohen & Landis represent Fargo and North Dakota clients?
Yes. SCL serves Fargo, Bismarck, and all North Dakota clients remotely. We handle IRS audits, agricultural and oil royalty 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.
