Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C.
Reno IRS Tax Attorney
Serving Reno from our Beverly Hills office. Most matters are handled entirely by phone and video.
If you relocated from California to Reno to escape the nation's highest 13.3% income tax rate, the California Franchise Tax Board may still consider you a resident - and a single FTB residency audit can claw back years of back tax, interest, and penalties on income you thought Nevada had made tax-free. Reno residents also face mounting IRS exposure: Gigafactory-driven stock-compensation reporting, casino cash-tip allocation audits, payroll trust-fund penalties, and digital-asset enforcement. Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C. - The Nation's Premier IRS Tax Law Firm for over 33 years, based at 9100 Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills - combines a nationwide federal IRS practice with deep California FTB expertise built precisely to defend the residency disputes that chase Californians into Reno. Before the FTB or IRS finalizes an assessment against you, call to protect your move and your money.

Frequently Asked Questions — Reno IRS Tax Help
What IRS issues are most common for Reno taxpayers?
Reno's tech growth — Tesla Gigafactory, Apple, Google, and Amazon data centers — has created a large workforce with equity compensation, RSU vesting, and relocation income IRS issues. Nevada has no state income tax, but Reno taxpayers are fully subject to federal IRS enforcement. Many Reno tech workers relocated from California, making them subject to California's source-income rules on equity grants earned while working in California.
Do California-to-Reno tech worker relocations create IRS and FTB issues?
Yes. Tech workers who relocated from California to Reno while holding unvested equity grants remain subject to California's source-income rules on the portion of those grants attributable to California work periods. The California FTB aggressively pursues former California residents who receive equity income after relocating. This is one of the most common and financially significant issues for California-to-Nevada migrants. SCL advises Reno tech workers on California source-income disputes and FTB audits.
Can Segal, Cohen & Landis represent Reno and Northern Nevada clients?
Yes. SCL serves Reno, Carson City, Sparks, and all Northern Nevada clients remotely. We handle equity compensation source-income issues, IRS audits, California FTB disputes, back taxes, FBAR, 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.
