Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C.
Jacksonville IRS Tax Attorney
Serving Jacksonville from our Beverly Hills office. Most matters are handled entirely by phone and video.
Jacksonville business owners and high earners often assume that Florida's lack of a state income tax shields them from tax trouble - until an IRS notice arrives over unpaid payroll taxes, an unreported government contract, or a residency that the state they left behind refuses to release. From Naval Station Mayport and JAXPORT logistics operators to the city's sprawling healthcare and fintech employers, Jacksonville generates exactly the kind of federal audit exposure the IRS prioritizes most aggressively. Segal, Cohen & Landis - the Beverly Hills tax law firm that has resolved IRS controversies in all 50 states for over 33 years - represents Jacksonville clients in audits, back taxes, payroll tax assessments, and multi-state residency disputes without requiring a single in-person visit. If you have received an IRS notice, the worst move is waiting; penalties, liens, and levies compound by the day, and early intervention is what protects your assets.

Frequently Asked Questions — Jacksonville IRS Tax Help
What IRS issues are most common for Jacksonville taxpayers?
Jacksonville's military presence (Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Mayport), healthcare sector, and logistics industry create diverse IRS audit exposure. Military families face combat pay, BAH, and pension reporting issues. Florida has no state income tax, but Jacksonville taxpayers are fully subject to federal IRS enforcement. Jacksonville's large Black and Latin American communities face Schedule C and payroll tax audit risk. Real estate and construction activity creates passive loss and worker classification IRS issues.
Does military service in Jacksonville create unique IRS reporting obligations?
Yes. Service members at NAS Jacksonville and Mayport face IRS issues around housing allowance (BAH) exclusions, combat pay elections for EITC, and pension and disability distributions. Veterans separating from the military receive lump-sum payments and retirement income that require careful federal tax reporting. SCL handles military-specific IRS issues for Jacksonville service members and veterans.

Yes. SCL serves Jacksonville and all Northeast Florida clients remotely. We handle military tax issues, real estate IRS matters, back taxes, FBAR, and all federal tax controversies.
