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 — Houston IRS Tax Help

I have oil and gas working interests in Texas. Are these audit-prone?

Yes. Energy partnership K-1 income, intangible drilling cost deductions, percentage depletion, and at-risk limitation issues are all high-audit-risk items. The IRS has dedicated examination agents for energy sector returns. SCL handles IRS audits of oil and gas partnership income for Houston investors and working interest owners.

Does Texas having no income tax mean I have no state tax issues?

Texas has no personal income tax but does impose a franchise tax (margin tax) on businesses operating in the state. Houston business owners must comply with Texas franchise tax requirements in addition to federal IRS obligations. SCL focuses on federal IRS representation but coordinates with Texas tax counsel when state issues arise.

Can SCL help Houston clients with FBAR and international tax compliance?

Yes. Houston's large Mexican, Central American, Indian, and Middle Eastern communities generate significant FBAR and international reporting cases. SCL handles Streamlined Procedures, Voluntary Disclosure, Form 3520, and PFIC reporting for Houston clients with foreign financial interests.

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.
