Greg Sistrunk.
Very helpful, very thorough. I had not filed taxes in several years. I came to Damien’s Law Firm for assistance to get them filed and caught up. They were very thorough and able to take the stress of my taxes off of my shoulders. They got me caught up, and I felt a huge weight lifted off of me. The price was very reasonable, especially considering the amount of work and dedication it took on their behalf to catch me up. I plan to continue to use their services moving forward. I highly recommend you use their services for all your tax needs. You won't be disappointed.

Are payroll tax issues threatening your business? Let us help you find a resolution.
Trust Fund Recovery Penalty (TFRP)
The TFRP can hold you personally liable for payroll taxes. We provide expert representation to challenge the penalty and protect your personal assets from IRS action.
Unfiled Payroll Tax Returns
Falling behind on Form 940/941 filings leads to significant penalties. We help you get caught up, prepare accurate returns, and work to minimize financial penalties for your business.
Stopping IRS Bank Levies
An IRS levy on your business bank account can be devastating. We take immediate action to negotiate a release and protect your capital so you can continue to operate.
Federal Tax Liens
A tax lien can damage your credit and attach to your business assets. We work with the IRS (and state) to secure a lien release, subordination, or withdrawal to protect your property.
Failure to Deposit Taxes
The IRS is aggressive with unremitted payroll taxes. We work directly with them to establish manageable payment arrangement to resolve your tax liability and prevent further action.
Payroll Tax Audits
Facing an employment tax audit? We provide comprehensive representation, manage all communication with the IRS, and work to ensure a fair audit process and outcome.
Penalty Abatement
IRS penalties can be substantial. We can determine if you qualify for penalty relief and build a strong case for "reasonable cause" to have penalties reduced or even eliminated.
OIC & Payment Plans
Overwhelmed by taxes owedt? We can determine if you qualify to offer less than you owe with an OIC or establish a manageable IRS Repayment Plan.

The TFRP is a significant penalty the IRS can assess against any person determined to be "responsible" for collecting and paying payroll taxes, but willfully failed to do so. This means the IRS can hold you personally liable for the unpaid "trust fund" portion of the taxes (income tax and FICA withholdings). An experienced attorney can challenge the "willfulness" and "responsibility" assessment to protect your personal assets.
Yes, in most cases, we can take immediate action to stop an impending bank levy. By establishing communication with the IRS on your behalf, we can often negotiate a hold on collection actions while we work toward a formal resolution, such as an Installment Agreement or an Offer in Compromise. Acting quickly is critical to protecting your business's operating capital.
The first step is to get into compliance by preparing and filing all overdue returns, even if you cannot pay the balance due. Ignoring unfiled returns allows the IRS to file a Substitute for Return (SFR) on your behalf, often with a much higher tax assessment. We can help you prepare accurate back returns and then address the resulting tax debt through a formal resolution strategy.
You have several options. Depending on your business's financial situation, we can explore an Offer in Compromise (OIC) to settle the debt for less than the full amount owed, or an Installment Agreement to set up a manageable monthly payment plan. We can analyze your finances to determine the most effective resolution strategy for your specific situation.
