We do more than just resolve civil tax audits. Our background in tax prosecution and defense uniquely situates us to help you avoid potential criminal liability, an aspect often missed by other tax firms. Joseph Wilson founded this firm to provide complete, sophisticated, and diligent tax representation to clients exclusively by attorneys who know the government's procedures from the inside-out. Some tax firms advertise their IRS experience to bring you in but then, when it comes time to do the job, they pass your case on to an inexperienced associate. Clients of the Wilson Tax Law Group are guaranteed to have their case handled by an attorney with real IRS experience.

FBAR & Offshore Tax Matters

A primary focus of Wilson Tax Law Group is offshore voluntary disclosure and tax compliance. The U.S. government and its international partners are aggressively pursuing individuals and entities that have income or assets outside the U.S. who have not disclosed and reported these assets or paid U.S. taxes from these assets. This applies to all US taxpayers and green card holders living domestically and abroad or a foreign national residing in the U.S. with foreign income, foreign bank accounts, or financial assets. These people may be required to disclose these assets.
