Frequently Asked Questions — Indianapolis IRS Tax Help
How does Indiana's layered tax system — state plus county — interact with IRS enforcement?
Indiana's flat 3.05% state income tax is administered by the Indiana Department of Revenue (IDOR), which operates independently of the IRS. Marion County (Indianapolis) adds a 2.02% county income tax on top. An IRS audit adjustment does not automatically close an IDOR matter — the state issues its own deficiency notice based on federal data sharing. Indianapolis business owners can face simultaneous IRS, IDOR, and county-level tax enforcement. SCL navigates all three layers for Indianapolis clients.
What IRS issues are most common for Indianapolis pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals?
Indianapolis's major pharmaceutical employers (Eli Lilly) and large healthcare systems create specific IRS issues: pharmaceutical sales representative income classification (W-2 vs. 1099), clinical research grant income reporting, physician practice S-corporation reasonable compensation determinations, and medical device executive equity compensation. Doctors who form professional service corporations face IRS scrutiny on salary vs. distribution allocations. SCL has experience representing healthcare professionals in IRS examination.
Does Segal, Cohen & Landis handle FBAR for Indianapolis's Indian-American healthcare community?
Yes. Indianapolis has a significant Indian-American healthcare professional community, many of whom hold NRE (Non-Resident External) and NRO accounts in Indian banks, as well as investments through Indian mutual funds and brokerage accounts. These create US FBAR reporting obligations and potential PFIC (passive foreign investment company) issues with Indian mutual funds. SCL handles FBAR voluntary disclosure, streamlined filing, and Form 3520 for Indianapolis-area clients with Indian financial accounts.
Can SCL help Indianapolis manufacturing and logistics business owners with payroll tax problems?
Yes. Indianapolis's manufacturing and warehousing sector — including distribution operations tied to Amazon, automotive components suppliers, and pharmaceutical distribution — frequently encounters payroll tax delinquencies and 941 trust fund penalty assessments. The IRS assesses the 100% trust fund recovery penalty personally against owners and responsible officers, which can survive business closure. SCL represents Indianapolis business owners in trust fund penalty defense, payroll tax installment agreements, and offer in compromise proceedings.
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.
