Frequently Asked Questions — Washington Dc IRS Tax Help
I'm a government contractor in DC. What are my IRS audit risks?
Government contractors with cost-reimbursement contracts, indirect cost rate agreements, and mixed personal/project use of assets are common IRS audit subjects. SCL handles IRS examination of contractor compensation, business expense deductions, and home office claims for DC-area government contractors.
I'm a foreign national working for an embassy or international organization in DC. What are my U.S. tax obligations?
Foreign nationals employed by diplomatic missions have varying U.S. tax obligations depending on the specific exemption claimed and their income type. Some embassy staff are fully exempt; others have partial U.S. tax obligations. SCL advises DC-area foreign nationals on U.S. filing requirements and handles IRS examination of diplomatic income reporting.
I have deferred compensation from a DC law firm or lobbying organization. What are the IRS risks?
Deferred compensation arrangements must comply with Section 409A to avoid immediate income inclusion and the 20% additional tax. SCL advises DC professionals on 409A compliance and handles IRS examination of law firm and lobbying organization deferred compensation plans.
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.
