PTCG Practice Areas
Tax Debt & Collections
We can help you deal with the legal and financial stress of confronting tax debt. The Internal Revenue Service has the power to levy fines and penalties on taxes owed. At PTCG we have the knowledge and experience to successfully manage the risks associated with federal tax liability.
IRS Liens & Levies
An IRS tax levy allows the government to legally seize your property to settle an unpaid tax debt. When issued, the IRS can claim assets such as bank accounts, vehicles, real estate, and personal belongings, as well as income from wages and retirement funds. If you have been the subject of a tax levy, PTCG can help you secure a favorable levy release.
Tax Audit
Mr. Pacini’s tax controversy experience includes the resolution of multimillion dollar issues in federal and state audit. If you've undergone an audit and need professional support, PTCG offers expert advice and effective representation to help resolve your IRS-related issues in a favorable manner.
Business & Payroll Tax
If you’ve been contacted by an IRS revenue officer for an interview regarding delinquency in your company’s failure to pay payroll taxes (IRS Form 4180), it is crucial to consult an experienced tax attorney immediately. Pacini Tax Controversy Group will help protect you and your business from potential financial and personal repercussions by providing specialized legal counsel in this area.
Income Tax
The IRS is a powerful agency with extensive rules and severe penalties for non-compliance. If you have failed to comply with your tax obligations, it is crucial to seek help rather than wait to be discovered. Hire PTCG to advocate for you. Whether you haven't filed tax returns, filed them incorrectly, or have unpaid taxes, PTCG can assist you.
Appeals

If you are a taxpayer contesting an IRS compliance action, PTCG can help. Mr. Pacini has extensive tax controversy experience representing businesses and individuals in front of the IRS and a number of state tax agencies for the purpose of handling appeals.
Tax Court Litigation
The decision to pursue litigation in a tax case is a significant consideration for any client. Each tax trial is unique and demands a tailored strategy and evidentiary approach. Navigating tax controversies necessitates precision, an understanding of procedural nuances, and often a personalized approach to address the specific circumstances of each case. Mr. Pacini has successfully led settlement negotiations with the IRS in mediation settings and in Tax Court.
