Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C.
Kansas City IRS Tax Attorney
Serving Kansas City from our Beverly Hills office. Most matters are handled entirely by phone and video.
Kansas City taxpayers carry a tax burden few other American cities share: a 1% local earnings tax stacked on top of either Missouri or Kansas state income tax, plus federal obligations - and when one authority flags a discrepancy, the others often follow. If you live on the Missouri side and work in Kansas (or vice versa), a single misallocated W-2 can trigger parallel audits from the Missouri Department of Revenue, the Kansas Department of Revenue, and the IRS at once. Segal, Cohen & Landis - the Beverly Hills IRS tax law firm with over 33 years resolving federal tax controversies in all 50 states - represents Kansas City individuals and businesses facing audits, back taxes, liens, levies, and multi-state filing disputes. Before the IRS files a lien or the Missouri DOR refers your earnings-tax balance for collection, call SCL for a confidential case review.

Frequently Asked Questions — Kansas City IRS Tax Help
What IRS issues are most common for Kansas City taxpayers?
Kansas City's financial services (Cerner, Hallmark, Burns & McDonnell), healthcare, and transportation sectors generate executive compensation, deferred compensation, and payroll tax IRS issues. Kansas City straddles Kansas and Missouri — residents may owe income tax to both states, and the Kansas City, Missouri city income tax (1%) adds a third layer. Missouri and Kansas both participate in federal-state data sharing with the IRS.
Does living in the Kansas City metro near the state border create tax complexity?
Yes. The Kansas-Missouri border runs through the metro — many Kansas City workers live in Kansas (income tax up to 5.7%) but work in Missouri (income tax up to 5.4%), or vice versa, requiring dual-state returns. Missouri's Kansas City also levies a 1% earnings tax. Multi-state withholding errors are a frequent trigger for both IRS and state notices. SCL handles federal IRS matters for Kansas City clients on both sides of the state line.
Can Segal, Cohen & Landis represent Kansas City clients?
Yes. SCL serves Kansas City, Overland Park, and the entire metro area on both the Missouri and Kansas sides remotely. We handle IRS audits, multi-state income 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.
