When You NEED a Tax Attorney, Not a CPA
8:13 · Dec 14, 2025
If you've got an IRS problem, you're not the first person to face it. After more than three decades of resolving tax debt, audits, levies, liens, and just about every IRS nightmare you can name, I've seen the same questions surface over and over. So I started recording answers.
The videos above cover the situations that wake people up at 3 AM: unfiled returns, garnishments, surprise bank levies, certified letters from the IRS, and the question I get most often: what happens next?
Each video is short, plainspoken, and based on actual cases. No fluff. No legal jargon disguised as expertise. Just the kind of straight answers I'd give you if you were sitting across the desk from me.
Why These Videos Exist
Most tax content online falls into one of two camps. Either it's so vague it's useless ("contact a professional for help") or it's so technical you need a CPA to translate it.
I made these videos for the people in between. The business owner who got a CP504. The widow who just opened a notice addressed to her late husband. The contractor whose payroll taxes got away from him. They don't need a lecture on the Internal Revenue Code. They need to know what's coming, what their options are, and whether they should be panicking or making coffee.
The reality is usually much more manageable than the nightmare in your head. These videos exist to prove it.
Common Questions These Videos Answer
Can the IRS really take my house?
Technically yes. Practically? Almost never. The IRS has easier ways to collect (liens, levies, garnishments), and seizing a primary residence requires extra approvals most cases never trigger. The videos walk you through what the IRS actually does versus what people fear they'll do.
I haven't filed in years. Am I going to jail?
The honest answer: extremely unlikely. The IRS is a collection agency far more often than a prosecutor. Criminal charges require willful conduct and a referral to the Department of Justice. Getting current is almost always treated as a civil matter, not a criminal one. Several videos cover the path back to compliance.
Should I hire a tax attorney or a CPA?
Different tools for different jobs. CPAs are great at preparing returns and routine tax work. Tax attorneys handle disputes, controversies, levies, OICs, and anything where the IRS is taking action against you. The line gets blurry, but if you're being collected against, you want someone with legal training and confidentiality protection.
How long does the IRS have to collect?
Generally 10 years from assessment: the Collection Statute Expiration Date, or CSED. But that clock can pause. The videos cover when the CSED runs, what tolls it, and why "waiting it out" is a strategy that works in fewer cases than people think.
A Word About How I Built These
I don't read scripts. I sit down, talk through the question the way I'd explain it to a client, and we cut from there. If a topic deserves 90 seconds, it gets 90 seconds. If it needs 10 minutes, it gets 10. The goal is clarity, not production value.
Subscribe to the YouTube channel if you want new videos as they drop. Or just bookmark this page and check back. I add new content regularly, especially when the tax code changes or the IRS announces a new procedure that affects everyday taxpayers.
When Videos Aren't Enough
These videos are a starting point. They're meant to give you a framework, to help you understand your situation well enough to ask the right questions. But every IRS case has details that matter, and details are where strategy lives.
If you've watched a few videos and you're ready to talk to someone who's done this for more than three decades, let's talk. The first conversation is free, it's confidential, and you'll walk away knowing whether you actually need legal representation or whether you can handle this yourself.
