Segal, Cohen & Landis, P.C.
Topeka IRS Tax Attorney
Serving Topeka from our Beverly Hills office. Most matters are handled entirely by phone and video.
Topeka residents who pull income from state government salaries, BNSF rail operations, or a pass-through small business on the wrong side of Kansas's reinstated income tax now face a two-front problem: an IRS that audits federal returns and a Kansas Department of Revenue that runs its own assessments and collections. When a federal lien, a wage garnishment, or an unfiled-return notice lands at a Shawnee County address, you need a firm that litigates IRS controversies for a living, not a general practitioner. Segal, Cohen & Landis has spent over 33 years resolving audits, levies, and back-tax cases from its Beverly Hills office while representing clients in all 50 states, including Kansas. Call before the IRS converts a Notice of Deficiency into enforced collection - the deadline to petition Tax Court is 90 days and it does not pause.
