Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C.
Sioux Falls IRS Tax Attorney
Serving Sioux Falls from our Beverly Hills office. Most matters are handled entirely by phone and video.
Sioux Falls sits at the center of one of the nation's largest credit card and trust banking hubs, and that financial concentration draws disproportionate IRS scrutiny - from passthrough income reporting at Citibank and Wells Fargo back offices to the dynasty trusts that flock to South Dakota for its perpetual, tax-advantaged structures. When the IRS questions trust distributions, audits a Schedule F farm operation in the Big Sioux River valley, or moves to collect six-figure back taxes from a Sioux Falls business owner, the stakes are federal and the deadlines are unforgiving. Segal, Cohen & Landis - the IRS tax law firm operating nationwide from its Beverly Hills office - has spent over 33 years resolving exactly these controversies in all 50 states, led by Samuel Landis, Esq., LL.M. in Taxation. If you have received a CP2000 notice, a Revenue Officer assignment, or an audit letter, call before the IRS clock runs out.

Frequently Asked Questions — Sioux Falls IRS Tax Help
What IRS issues are most common for Sioux Falls and South Dakota taxpayers?
Sioux Falls' economy — Citibank, Wells Fargo, Sanford Health, and agriculture — creates financial services executive compensation, healthcare professional income, and agricultural IRS issues. South Dakota has no state income tax, which eliminates state audit risk — but Sioux Falls taxpayers are fully subject to federal IRS enforcement. The financial services industry creates complex deferred compensation and bonus taxation issues. South Dakota's trust industry creates dynasty trust and offshore trust IRS scrutiny.
Does South Dakota's trust industry attract IRS scrutiny?
Yes. South Dakota's favorable trust laws — no Rule Against Perpetuities, strong asset protection, and low taxes — attract high-net-worth families establishing dynasty trusts and directed trusts. The IRS closely scrutinizes South Dakota trust structures, particularly when they appear to be used primarily for tax avoidance. Undisclosed offshore accounts held through South Dakota structures create IRS voluntary disclosure issues. SCL advises Sioux Falls clients on trust-related IRS compliance.
Can Segal, Cohen & Landis represent Sioux Falls and South Dakota clients?
Yes. SCL serves Sioux Falls, Rapid City, and all South Dakota clients remotely. We handle IRS audits, trust and estate tax issues, financial services executive compensation, back taxes, FBAR, and all federal tax controversies.
