Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C.
Grand Rapids IRS Tax Attorney
Serving Grand Rapids from our Beverly Hills office. Most matters are handled entirely by phone and video.
When a Grand Rapids resident gets a CP2000 notice from the IRS or a Michigan Department of Treasury intent-to-levy letter, the clock starts immediately - and the city's 1.5% local income tax adds a third layer of exposure most West Michigan taxpayers never see coming until a wage garnishment hits. Segal, Cohen & Landis represents Grand Rapids individuals and Kent County business owners facing IRS audits, payroll tax assessments, back taxes, and Treasury disputes, drawing on more than 33 years as one of the nation's premier IRS tax law firms. Operating from our Beverly Hills office, we practice before the IRS nationwide - federal tax controversy is governed by the same Internal Revenue Code in Grand Rapids as in California, so geography is no barrier to first-rate representation. If you are facing a federal lien, a Treasury garnishment, or an unfiled-returns problem, call before the IRS files a substitute return and assesses tax on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions — Grand Rapids IRS Tax Help
What IRS issues are most common for Grand Rapids taxpayers?
Grand Rapids' manufacturing, healthcare (Spectrum Health), and office furniture (Steelcase, Herman Miller) sectors create payroll tax, executive compensation, and deferred compensation IRS issues. Michigan's income tax (4.25%) coordinates with the IRS through federal-state data sharing. Grand Rapids' large Dutch-American and growing international community carries FBAR exposure. Grand Rapids' real estate and construction sectors create worker classification and passive loss IRS issues.
Does the office furniture and manufacturing industry in Grand Rapids create IRS audit risk?
Yes. West Michigan manufacturing businesses face IRS issues around equipment Section 179 deductions, research and development tax credit claims (common in the furniture design industry), and worker classification in production environments. Steelcase and Herman Miller executive compensation packages involve stock options and deferred compensation that are high IRS audit triggers. SCL advises Grand Rapids manufacturing business owners on IRS compliance.
Can Segal, Cohen & Landis represent Grand Rapids and Michigan clients?
Yes. SCL serves Grand Rapids, Detroit, Ann Arbor, and all Michigan clients remotely. We handle IRS audits, manufacturing industry tax issues, FBAR, 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.
