Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C.
Las Vegas IRS Tax Attorney
Serving Las Vegas from our Beverly Hills office. Most matters are handled entirely by phone and video.
Las Vegas residents who relocated from California to escape the nation's highest income tax - up to 13.3% - often discover that the California Franchise Tax Board does not let go quietly, pursuing residency audits, "source income" claims, and back-tax demands years after the move. Segal, Cohen & Landis defends Clark County clients against exactly this: FTB residency reassessments, IRS audits of cash- and tip-heavy gaming and hospitality income, payroll tax liabilities, and unfiled-return exposure. Operating from 9100 Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills for over 33 years as the nation's premier IRS tax law firm, SCL practices federal tax law nationwide and knows the FTB's playbook from the inside - a decisive advantage for ex-Californians now living in Nevada. If you've received an FTB residency questionnaire, an IRS examination notice, or a CP504 levy warning, call before the deadline runs and your leverage disappears.

Frequently Asked Questions — Las Vegas IRS Tax Help
I'm a professional gambler in Las Vegas. How does the IRS treat gambling income and losses?
Professional gamblers can deduct gambling losses against gambling winnings on Schedule C, treating gambling as a business. Hobby gamblers may only deduct losses to the extent of winnings and only as itemized deductions. The IRS audits professional gambler returns at high rates — SCL defends these audits with documentation of professional gambling activity.
I receive significant tip income as a Las Vegas hospitality worker. What are my IRS obligations?
All tip income is taxable and must be reported. The IRS can assess back taxes and penalties for unreported tips, and can use statistical methods to estimate tip income. SCL handles IRS examinations of tip income for Las Vegas hospitality workers and advises on compliance with employer tip reporting agreements.
I completed a 1031 exchange on Las Vegas real estate. Can the IRS audit the exchange?
Yes. Section 1031 exchanges are audited for compliance with the like-kind property requirement, 45-day identification rule, 180-day exchange deadline, and qualified intermediary requirements. SCL handles IRS examination of 1031 exchanges for Las Vegas real estate investors.
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.
