Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C.
Jefferson City IRS Tax Attorney
Serving Jefferson City from our Beverly Hills office. Most matters are handled entirely by phone and video.
Jefferson City's state employees, MOSERS pensioners, and capital-corridor business owners face a tax trap unique to a government town: a Missouri Department of Revenue assessment and an IRS audit are separate proceedings, and resolving one does nothing to stop the other - leaving public-sector W-2 earners, 1099 healthcare contractors, and payroll-tax-exposed manufacturers fighting on two fronts at once. Segal, Cohen & Landis defends Jefferson City residents and businesses against IRS audits, federal tax liens, wage garnishments, trust-fund recovery penalties, and back taxes, while coordinating the parallel Missouri DOR exposure. Operating from its Beverly Hills office at 9100 Wilshire Blvd, the firm has represented clients before the IRS, Appeals, and U.S. Tax Court in all 50 states for over 33 years - its IRS practice is federal and nationwide, so no Jefferson City client ever needs to leave Cole County. If you have received an IRS notice or a DOR deficiency letter, the deadlines are short - contact Segal, Cohen & Landis before the assessment becomes a lien.
