Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C.
Frankfort IRS Tax Attorney
Serving Frankfort from our Beverly Hills office. Most matters are handled entirely by phone and video.
As Kentucky's capital, Frankfort is built on government payrolls, state pensions, and small businesses serving the Commonwealth's bureaucracy - and that mix produces a particular kind of IRS exposure: misreported retirement distributions, underreported 1099 income from contract work with state agencies, and federal liens that follow unpaid back taxes long after a Kentucky DOR matter is settled. Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C. has spent over 33 years resolving exactly these federal tax controversies - IRS audits, levies, wage garnishments, Offers in Compromise, and unfiled returns - for clients in Frankfort and across all 50 states from its Beverly Hills, California headquarters. Because IRS practice is federal, a Frankfort taxpayer gets the same senior representation a Los Angeles client does, led by Samuel Landis, Esq. (LL.M. in Taxation). If you have received an IRS notice, a CP2000, or a Final Notice of Intent to Levy, the window to respond is measured in days, not months - call before the IRS acts.

Frequently Asked Questions — Frankfort IRS Tax Help
What IRS issues are most common for Frankfort's state government employees?
Frankfort, Kentucky's state capital, is dominated by Kentucky state government. State employees face IRS issues with Kentucky Retirement Systems (KRS) pension distributions, deferred compensation, and DROP plan withdrawals. Kentucky's flat 4.5% income tax coordinates with the IRS through data sharing. Frankfort's small business community faces Schedule C audit risk from the IRS's standard small business examination programs.
How is Kentucky state pension income taxed by the IRS?
Kentucky Retirement Systems (KRS) and Kentucky Teachers' Retirement System (KTRS) pension distributions are fully taxable as ordinary federal income. Kentucky allows a modest state income tax exemption for pension income — but this state benefit does not affect federal IRS obligations. KRS retirees who receive DROP distributions or large lump sums must carefully navigate 1099-R reporting and rollover rules. SCL advises Frankfort retirees on federal pension tax treatment.
Can Segal, Cohen & Landis represent Frankfort and Kentucky clients?
Yes. SCL serves Frankfort, Louisville, Lexington, and all Kentucky clients remotely. We handle state employee pension IRS issues, back taxes, 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.
