Frequently Asked Questions — Riverside IRS Tax Help
I own rental properties in Riverside and claim real estate professional status. Am I at risk of an IRS audit?
Yes. Real estate professional status is one of the most frequently audited elections in the tax code. You must materially participate in real estate activities for more than 750 hours annually and more than in any other profession. SCL defends IRS audits of real estate professional elections for Inland Empire investors.
I moved from California to Nevada but still own rental property in Riverside. Does the FTB still tax me?
California taxes income derived from California sources regardless of where you live. Rental income from Riverside property, gain on the sale of California real estate, and California business income remain subject to FTB tax even after you move. SCL handles FTB residency disputes and California source-income issues for Nevada-based former California residents.
Can SCL help with IRS payroll tax issues for my Riverside business?
Yes. Payroll tax debt is among the most aggressively collected IRS liabilities. SCL handles Trust Fund Recovery Penalty defense, payroll tax installment agreements, and resolution of business payroll tax debt for Riverside County employers.
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.
