Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C.
Spokane IRS Tax Attorney
Serving Spokane from our Beverly Hills office. Most matters are handled entirely by phone and video.
Spokane sits in a tax blind spot: with no Washington state income tax, the IRS is the primary enforcement authority residents face - and a federal audit, lien, or levy carries no state-level relief program to soften the blow. Add the Idaho state line just 18 miles east, and Spokane Valley workers, contractors, and remote professionals earning Idaho-source income routinely trip IRS multi-state reporting red flags. Segal, Cohen & Landis - the nation's premier IRS tax law firm, representing clients in all 50 states from its Beverly Hills office for over 33 years - resolves IRS audits, back taxes, B&O tax fallout, ERC claw-backs, and Idaho income disputes for Spokane clients without ever requiring a local office. If the IRS has contacted you, call before a notice becomes a lien - federal collection timelines move fast, and early intervention is what preserves your options.

Frequently Asked Questions — Spokane IRS Tax Help
What IRS issues are most common for Spokane taxpayers?
Spokane's economy — healthcare (Providence, MultiCare), agriculture, military (Fairchild Air Force Base), and manufacturing — creates diverse IRS audit exposure. Washington State's 7% capital gains tax affects Spokane tech workers and investors with large equity events. Fairchild AFB military personnel face combat pay and housing allowance reporting issues. Spokane's growing wine and agricultural industry creates Schedule F and farm income IRS issues.
Does Washington State's capital gains tax affect Spokane residents?
Yes. Washington's 7% capital gains tax on long-term gains over $250,000 applies to Spokane residents. This is separate from — and in addition to — federal IRS capital gains tax. Washington capital gains tax was upheld by the state Supreme Court in 2023. Spokane residents who sell businesses, investment properties, or large stock positions must calculate both federal and Washington state capital gains obligations. SCL advises Spokane clients on multi-layer capital gains compliance.
Can Segal, Cohen & Landis represent Spokane and Eastern Washington clients?
Yes. SCL serves Spokane and all Eastern Washington clients remotely. We handle IRS audits, Washington capital gains tax issues, military tax matters, agricultural tax 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.
