JD Michael, has a solid history of helping Illinois taxpayers resolve tax problems, manage tax audits, and assure compliance with tax laws. It provides an array of tax-related assistance for businesses, non-profits, and government entities in both Illinois and other states. JD Michael's in-depth knowledge of state and local tax laws and previous experience working with the Illinois Department of Revenue and the Internal Revenue Service, lets us cut through the red tape and respond quickly to our clients' needs.
Don’t panic if you receive an unexpected tax notice. JD Michael knows collection actions can be intimidating and time consuming, but we will stand with you to make sure that you are treated fairly. JD Michael staff will analyze your case and work with you and the Illinois Department of Revenue, or in some cases the Internal Revenue Service, to resolve your tax problem.
JD Michael has successfully represented many clients who have had tax liabilities, penalties, and interest abated or waived. Specifically, we have filed successful actions with the Illinois Department of Revenue’s Board of Appeals and the Problems Resolution Division, as well as with the Internal Revenue Service’s Offer and Compromise Program. In addition, we can help with license revocations, wage or bank levies, or other situations where action is being taken to enforce collection of taxes owed. We will arrange for payment programs when tax liabilities are finalized or cannot be reduced.
Each year thousands of businesses are selected for a tax audit. Because JD Michael understands the audit process and knows what an auditor will be looking for, we can help you manage the audit process effectively. We are committed to providing a fair review and ensuring that the Illinois Department of Revenue auditor is reviewing for overpaid items as well as underpaid transactions.
Since 2003, we have successfully provided input and direction to clients resulting in significant reductions to proposed audit liabilities. Our goal is to get the correct result at the lowest level (with the auditor), but if necessary we will recommend further actions. We have successfully represented numerous clients before the Illinois Department of Revenue’s Informal Conference Board and the Administrative Hearings Section when we believed an auditor’s decision should be challenged.
JD Michael staff stays up-to-date on current and proposed legislation related to business taxation and understands Illinois tax law and the Illinois Department of Revenue’s interpretations and rules. We will examine your business operations and assist you in structuring your operations to take full advantage of any exemptions, deductions, or credits to which you are entitled. Our analysis of your business will ensure your future compliance and will also assist you in recovering any past overpayments.
Since 2003, JD Michael has worked with many clients to secure refunds from vendors regarding sales taxes paid in error. Additionally, we have filed claims on behalf of clients to recover tax erroneously paid on returns filed with the state.
