About Jason M. Obermeyer, Attorney at Law — Tax Law Georgetown

Jason M. Obermeyer offers tax law Georgetown services to individuals, small business owners, and retirees across Scott County, Kentucky. The practice handles IRS controversies, Kentucky Department of Revenue disputes, tax preparation, and related elder-law and estate concerns. Because the Kentucky Auditor recently flagged $33 million in overcharged state taxes affecting 4,000 taxpayers, residents are more aware than ever of the need for a careful review before paying a contested bill. Clients searching for a steady Georgetown attorney get direct attention, not a call-center experience.

In addition to audits, the firm assists with installment agreements, offers in compromise, innocent-spouse relief, and payroll-tax defense for small businesses. The attorney works with federal and state tax authorities and can appear before the Kentucky Board of Tax Appeals when disputes escalate. Because many Scott County residents also need estate planning and bankruptcy coordination, the practice takes a holistic view — tax exposure often touches wills, trusts, and business succession. Consultations focus on practical options, not jargon.

What Clients Say

Clients note that the attorney returns calls quickly and sets realistic expectations about penalty abatement and settlement prospects. Small-business owners mention the firm’s help in cleaning up payroll-tax issues before they became criminal exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do if I receive an IRS CP2000 notice in Kentucky?

Do not ignore the notice — you typically have 30 days to respond. An attorney can review the proposed changes, gather substantiation, and reply in writing so penalties do not stack. Many CP2000 issues are resolved entirely on paper without an in-person audit.

How long does the Kentucky Department of Revenue have to audit me?

Kentucky generally follows a four-year statute of limitations for tax assessments, though fraud claims can extend it indefinitely. Keeping records for at least six years protects you on both state and federal audits. A local tax attorney can evaluate whether to raise the limitations defense.

Can I settle tax debt for less than I owe?

Sometimes — the IRS offers-in-compromise program considers income, expenses, and asset equity to reduce liability. Kentucky’s Department of Revenue has a similar settlement pathway through the Division of Collections. Only about one in three IRS applications is accepted, so careful preparation is critical.
