Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C.
Milwaukee IRS Tax Attorney
Serving Milwaukee from our Beverly Hills office. Most matters are handled entirely by phone and video.
Milwaukee taxpayers caught between a federal IRS audit and a parallel Wisconsin Department of Revenue inquiry face a uniquely punishing problem: two agencies, two notices, and no coordination between them. Whether you are a Third Ward business owner staring down a payroll tax assessment, a Brookfield professional hit with an unreported-income exam, or a manufacturer facing a multi-state apportionment dispute, the stakes climb fast once liens and levies enter the picture. Segal, Cohen & Landis - "The Nation's Premier IRS Tax Law Firm for Over 33 Years," based at 9100 Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills - represents Milwaukee clients in IRS controversies nationwide, led by tax attorney Samuel Landis, Esq. (LL.M. in Taxation). If the IRS or the Wisconsin DOR has sent you a notice, call before the deadline on it passes - the window to protect your assets is shorter than most people think.

Frequently Asked Questions — Milwaukee IRS Tax Help
What IRS issues are most common for Milwaukee taxpayers?
Milwaukee's manufacturing, healthcare (Froedtert, Aurora), and financial services sectors create worker classification, executive compensation, and payroll tax IRS issues. Wisconsin's income tax (up to 7.65%) and Milwaukee's lack of a city income tax create a simpler local structure than some cities, but Wisconsin's DOR actively coordinates with the IRS. Milwaukee's large Polish, German, and Hispanic communities carry FBAR exposure for overseas accounts.
Does Wisconsin's income tax interact with IRS obligations for Milwaukee taxpayers?
Yes. Wisconsin's DOR participates in the federal-state data exchange. IRS audit adjustments automatically trigger Wisconsin state assessments. Wisconsin's income tax base broadly conforms to federal — meaning federal audit results have a direct Wisconsin state tax impact at rates up to 7.65%. Milwaukee small business owners and manufacturing executives face both federal and state audit exposure.
Can Segal, Cohen & Landis represent Milwaukee and Wisconsin clients?
Yes. SCL serves Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, and all Wisconsin clients remotely. We handle IRS audits, manufacturing industry tax 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.
