Frequently Asked Questions — Phoenix IRS Tax Help
I'm a real estate professional in Phoenix. Can I claim rental losses against my ordinary income?
Real estate professional status allows taxpayers to treat rental losses as active rather than passive — but the IRS audits this election aggressively. You must document over 750 hours annually in real estate activities and that real estate is your primary profession. SCL handles IRS audits of real estate professional elections for Phoenix investors and Realtors.
I moved to Phoenix from a high-tax state. Do I still owe taxes to my former state?
States like California aggressively pursue former residents who moved to Arizona, asserting continued California domicile. If you have California-source income — rental property, business income, stock options from California employment — California FTB may still assert tax authority. SCL handles multistate residency disputes and FTB enforcement for Phoenix-area taxpayers.
Can SCL help with an IRS audit of my Phoenix small business?
Yes. SCL handles IRS field and office audits of Phoenix businesses in all industries. The firm represents business owners through examination, audit appeal, and Tax Court if necessary. Call for a free consultation about your audit notice.
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.
