Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C.
St Louis IRS Tax Attorney
Serving St. Louis from our Beverly Hills office. Most matters are handled entirely by phone and video.
St. Louis workers who live in Missouri but commute across the Mississippi River to Illinois jobs - or vice versa - routinely face the IRS's favorite trigger for an audit: mismatched W-2s, dueling state withholding, and the City's 1% earnings tax layered on top. When the IRS questions your residency, your business deductions, or years of unfiled returns, the Missouri Department of Revenue and the St. Louis Collector of Revenue rarely wait their turn - they pursue their own liens and levies in parallel. Segal, Cohen & Landis has resolved exactly these federal and multi-state controversies for over 33 years, representing St. Louis clients nationwide from its Beverly Hills office, where the entire practice is built around IRS negotiation. If you have received an IRS notice, a Revenue Agent's exam letter, or a Final Notice of Intent to Levy, call before the collection clock runs out.

Frequently Asked Questions — St Louis IRS Tax Help
What IRS issues are most common for St. Louis taxpayers?
St. Louis's healthcare (BJC Healthcare, Barnes-Jewish Hospital), financial services (Edward Jones), and manufacturing sectors create executive compensation, physician partnership income, and payroll tax IRS issues. Missouri's income tax (up to 5.4%) and St. Louis City's 1% earnings tax create multi-layer obligations that coordinate with the IRS. St. Louis's large Bosnian and Somali communities carry FBAR exposure for overseas accounts.
Does St. Louis's city earnings tax create unique tax issues?
Yes. St. Louis City levies a 1% earnings tax on residents and on non-residents working in the city. This city tax is separate from Missouri state income tax and federal IRS obligations. Missouri's DOR participates in federal-state data sharing — IRS audit adjustments trigger Missouri state assessments. St. Louis residents who commute from suburban Missouri or Illinois counties must properly allocate income between jurisdictions. SCL handles federal IRS matters for St. Louis clients.
Can Segal, Cohen & Landis represent St. Louis and Missouri clients?
Yes. SCL serves St. Louis, Kansas City, and all Missouri clients remotely. We handle IRS audits, healthcare professional tax issues, FBAR, 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.
