Tax Attorney in Columbia, MD

Our Columbia office is perfectly situated to serve clients throughout Howard County, providing accessible and convenient legal support for our community.

Juda Gabaie’s background as an accountant provides him with a unique ability to analyze the financial intricacies of a tax case, leading to more creative and effective legal arguments.

Our firm has a proven history of achieving positive outcomes for clients, from negotiating significant reductions in tax debt to successfully defending against IRS penalties.

We are experts in Maryland’s specific tax laws and procedures. We can handle state-level issues, including sales tax audits and residency disputes, which are common in the Baltimore-Washington corridor.

We understand that every client’s situation is different. We provide tailored legal advice and develop a strategy that aligns with your specific goals and financial circumstances.

If you cannot pay your tax debt all at once, we can negotiate a formal installment agreement with the IRS. This allows you to make manageable monthly payments over time while protecting you from more aggressive collection actions.

Facing an audit can be intimidating. We provide full representation, managing all communications with the auditor, helping you prepare and organize your documentation, and defending your returns for a fair process and outcome.

Getting caught up on unfiled returns is a critical step toward resolving tax problems. We can help you prepare and file multiple years of back taxes, bringing you into compliance and working to minimize any associated penalties.

We assist Columbia business owners with complex issues like payroll tax disputes and the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty. We work to protect both your business and your personal assets from liability.

This IRS program allows eligible taxpayers to settle their tax liability for a lower amount than they originally owed. The qualification rules are strict, but we can assess your eligibility and prepare a comprehensive OIC application to give you the best chance of success.

A tax lien can damage your credit, and a levy can seize your assets. We can negotiate with the IRS to have liens withdrawn and levies released, often by setting up an alternative payment arrangement.
