Frequently Asked Questions — San Antonio IRS Tax Help
What IRS issues are unique to San Antonio's active duty military and veteran community?
Active duty military at Joint Base San Antonio's Lackland, Fort Sam Houston, and Randolph installations face IRS-specific issues: combat zone pay exclusions (which apply only to designated combat zones and must be properly reported), BAH/BAS non-taxable allowance exclusions, multi-state return filing when PCS moves occur mid-year to income-tax states, TSP contributions and early distribution penalty exceptions for military, and National Guard/Reserve activation pay reporting. Separating servicemembers who roll TSP funds incorrectly trigger 10% early withdrawal penalties. SCL advises military families on federal tax compliance specific to military service.
Does Segal, Cohen & Landis handle cross-border US-Mexico tax issues for San Antonio clients?
Yes. San Antonio's proximity to Mexico and its large Mexican-American community creates significant IRS cross-border compliance needs. FBAR is required for residents with Mexican bank accounts (Banamex, BBVA, Santander Mexico, Banorte) exceeding $10,000. Gifts from Mexican relatives exceeding $100,000 aggregate require Form 3520 filing. Cross-border business income between the US and Mexico requires treaty analysis under the US-Mexico income tax treaty. Dual-status filers and commuter workers face complex part-year return obligations. SCL handles all of these issues in Spanish for San Antonio clients.
Can SCL help San Antonio construction business owners with payroll tax and trust fund penalty problems?
Yes. San Antonio's construction and contractor sector — including residential, commercial, and military construction near JBSA — frequently encounters IRS payroll tax delinquency and 941 trust fund recovery penalty assessments. The trust fund recovery penalty is 100% of unpaid employment taxes assessed personally against owners and responsible parties, and it survives business closure. SCL represents San Antonio construction business owners in trust fund penalty defense, installment agreements, and offer in compromise proceedings.
Can Segal, Cohen & Landis represent San Antonio clients entirely in Spanish?
Yes. Segal, Cohen & Landis serves Spanish-speaking clients in San Antonio and throughout South Texas. All consultations, case management, IRS correspondence review, and strategy discussions can be conducted in Spanish. We understand that navigating the IRS in a second language adds significant stress — our goal is to remove that barrier and provide the same level of expert representation regardless of the client's preferred language.
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.
