Alvin Brown became a tax attorney after a 27-year career in the Offices of the IRS Chief Counsel. He opened his specialized tax practice, Alvin Brown & Associates, in 1998. Today, the firm keeps clients from overpaying their tax liabilities by representing them before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Alvin Brown & Associates advocates on behalf of taxpayers with IRS issues and problems, supporting its oral arguments with the Internal Revenue Code, tax regulations, published IRS positions, administrative manuals, and tax legislative history. The firm primarily specializes in offer in compromise and tax help.
Offer In Compromise
An offer in compromise is an agreement between the taxpayer and the IRS that is designed to resolve the taxpayer’s tax liabilities. The IRS typically agrees to an offer in compromise for one of two reasons: doubt as to liability (there is doubt as to whether the correct tax was assessed) and doubt as to collectability (there is doubt regarding whether the taxpayer is capable of ever paying the full amount of tax owed.) Doubt as to collectability will take into account the taxpayer’s income, current assets, and future assets to determine the taxpayer’s reasonable collection potential. The IRS also considers National Collection Financial Standards and Local Collection Financial Standards to determine how much money the taxpayer will need to bring in each month to cover living and wellness expenses. Alvin Brown & Associates additionally helps taxpayers prove their monthly financial needs exceed National and Local Standards.
Tax Help
Alvin Brown & Associates boasts tax knowledge and expertise that many tax professionals do not. The firm has worked with CPAs, accountants, enrolled agents, and even other attorneys to provide tax advice and assistance. Taxpayers can also turn to the firm for help disclosing incomplete data, lost records, or other issues that will affect their ability to file taxes.
