Your IRS Problem Is Federal. Your Lawyer's Focus Should Be Too.

Same Code, same manual, same procedures in every state.

The IRS applies the same Internal Revenue Code and the same Internal Revenue Manual in every state. Federal tax matters before the IRS may be handled for taxpayers anywhere in the country.

Admissions

Darrin T. Mish is admitted to The Florida Bar (Bar No. 986641, admitted 1993), is also admitted in Colorado and Texas, and is admitted before the United States Tax Court and the Supreme Court of the United States. The principal office is in Tampa, Florida.

Practice focus

The practice focuses on IRS collection, examination, and controversy matters. This site covers the part of that work involving criminal exposure.

Privilege

Communications with a lawyer for the purpose of legal advice are privileged. The tax practitioner privilege in IRC 7525 does not apply in criminal matters. If there is any chance of criminal exposure, read about Kovel arrangements.

General information only, not legal advice. Reading this page does not create an attorney-client relationship. Laws and IRS procedures change; the sources cited were reviewed on the date shown above.

Before you talk to an agent

Exposure is a legal problem. Treat it like one.

If you think a tax problem could carry criminal exposure, talk to a lawyer before you talk to the IRS. Conversations with your lawyer are privileged. Conversations with an agent are evidence.
