Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C.
Raleigh IRS Tax Attorney
Serving Raleigh from our Beverly Hills office. Most matters are handled entirely by phone and video.
Raleigh professionals - from Research Triangle Park software engineers holding RSUs and ISOs to Epic Games and Red Hat employees with multi-year equity vesting - frequently face IRS scrutiny when stock compensation, AMT exposure, or partnership K-1 income is misreported. When a federal audit, an unpaid tax balance, or a North Carolina Department of Revenue notice lands, the stakes climb fast: liens, wage garnishment, and frozen accounts can follow within months. Segal, Cohen & Landis, headquartered at 9100 Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills, has spent over 33 years resolving IRS controversies in all 50 states, and our federal practice represents Raleigh clients before the IRS no differently than a firm down the street on Fayetteville Street. If the IRS or the NCDOR is already moving, call before the next deadline closes your options.

Frequently Asked Questions — Raleigh IRS Tax Help
What IRS issues are most common for Raleigh's Research Triangle tech community?
Raleigh's Research Triangle — home to IBM, Red Hat, SAS, and hundreds of biotech and tech firms — generates RSU, stock option, and equity compensation IRS issues. North Carolina's 4.75% flat income tax coordinates with the IRS through federal-state data sharing. NC State and Duke University researchers face fellowship income and FBAR issues. Raleigh's growing Indian-American and international tech community has FBAR and Form 3520 obligations.
Does North Carolina's income tax interact with IRS obligations for Raleigh taxpayers?
Yes. North Carolina's DOR participates in the federal-state data exchange program. IRS audit adjustments automatically trigger NC DOR assessments. North Carolina's income tax base broadly conforms to federal income — meaning IRS audit adjustments have a direct state tax impact at the 4.75% NC rate. Raleigh business owners and tech professionals face both federal and state audit exposure.
Can Segal, Cohen & Landis represent Raleigh and North Carolina clients?
Yes. SCL serves Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and all North Carolina clients remotely. We handle tech equity compensation issues, FBAR, IRS audits, 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.
