Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a civil and criminal IRS investigation?
A civil audit focuses on tax owed and penalties. A criminal investigation can lead to indictment and prison time. Hiring counsel early — ideally before the IRS interviews you — can shift a case from criminal to civil.

U.S. Tax Court trial sessions are held in Philadelphia for Bucks County taxpayers. The court travels on a calendar set in Washington, D.C. Cases can also resolve via IRS Appeals before reaching trial.
Can a tax attorney help discharge IRS debt in bankruptcy?
Some older income taxes can be discharged in Chapter 7 if specific timing rules are met. Trust fund taxes and recent assessments generally cannot be discharged. A tax attorney can map out which years qualify.
