Tax Audits & Litigation

The Tufts Law Firm fights for taxpayers who understand our country's voluntary tax system and why taxes are important. In our Abusive Tax Shelters--Detection and Analysis practice area, we are focused on coming to the aid of those who believe that they may have been victimized by what appears to be an abusive tax shelter.

After all, no one should have to bear too much of this burden as a result of others who use abusive tax shelters as part of their refusal to shoulder their fair share of the country's tax burden.

At the same time, in our Tax Litigation & Representation Before IRS practice area, we stand ready to fight for taxpayers who have acted in good faith in trying to comply with our complex federal income tax system, many of whom are in a position to show that they reasonably relied on the advice of a tax advisor, only to later find, to their chagrin and consternation that they have been let down by this advice, or victimized by an abusive tax shelter product.

Over the years, Scott Tufts has had the fortune and honor of representing many taxpayers before the IRS and before our Federal court system who have found themselves faced with assertions by the IRS that they owe more tax, if not penalties, despite having acted in good faith or with the belief that the tax law is on their side.

If you are a taxpayer who believes that you have acted in good faith, but are in need of representation in matters before the IRS or in our federal courts, please contact us to determine if we are right for you.
