Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C.
Santa Fe IRS Tax Attorney
Serving Santa Fe from our Beverly Hills office. Most matters are handled entirely by phone and video.
Santa Fe's economy runs on independent artists, gallery owners, tourism operators, and a heavy concentration of state and federal government workers - and that mix produces exactly the kind of unreported cash, 1099 misclassification, and Schedule C self-employment income the IRS targets first. When a Canyon Road gallerist, a Plaza vendor, or a self-employed consultant on Cerrillos Road falls behind on back taxes or draws an audit notice, the stakes climb fast once the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department piggybacks on the federal adjustment. Segal, Cohen & Landis - the IRS tax law firm based in Beverly Hills with over 33 years resolving federal tax controversies in all 50 states - represents Santa Fe clients in audits, liens, levies, and Offer in Compromise negotiations. If you've received an IRS notice or have unfiled returns, call before the deadline on that letter passes and your options narrow.

Frequently Asked Questions — Santa Fe IRS Tax Help
What IRS issues are most common for Santa Fe taxpayers?
Santa Fe's art community, tourism industry, and state government workforce create diverse IRS audit exposure. Artists and gallery owners face high Schedule C audit risk for business-use deductions and income classification. New Mexico has a gross receipts tax (GRT) — a unique form of taxation that differs from sales tax — and the NM Taxation and Revenue Department coordinates with the IRS. Santa Fe's growing real estate market creates capital gain and rental income reporting obligations.
Does being a New Mexico state government employee in Santa Fe create IRS issues?
State government employees in Santa Fe — including legislators and agency workers — face IRS issues around pension distributions, deferred compensation (457 plans), and legislative per diem reporting. New Mexico's Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) distributions have specific federal tax treatment. New Mexico's DOR participates in federal-state data sharing — IRS audit adjustments trigger NM state assessments. SCL handles federal IRS matters for Santa Fe clients.
Can Segal, Cohen & Landis represent Santa Fe and New Mexico clients?
Yes. SCL serves Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and all New Mexico clients remotely. We handle IRS audits, artist community tax issues, 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.
