St. Louis Tax Attorneys — Our Practice Areas

Dedicated Legal Professionals Who Advocate Tirelessly for Our Clients

Whether you’re an individual taxpayer or you run a business, dealing with tax issues can be complicated. While online filing software providers may promise simplicity, the rate of IRS rejections shows that digital platforms can’t provide the individualized service that taxpayers need for the most complicated matters.
At The Law Office of Lance R. Drury, P.C., our legal team deals with tax issues every day. We’ve helped individuals and businesses in varying situations — whether they need assistance filing taxes or representation during an IRS investigation. If you’re looking for a tax attorney who can handle your needs, our legal team is here to help.

Our Practice Areas

When you’re working with The Law Firm of Lance R. Drury, you have a team of experienced legal professionals on your side. We can handle tax issues and cases in all the following areas:

Audit Defense

If the state or federal government believes there’s an issue with your taxes, they may decide to conduct an audit. This can lead to serious financial difficulties and invasive actions by the government. Our law firm can help you minimize the risk of an audit, and we can represent you if tax authorities come knocking.

Tax Appeals

Decisions by tax authorities can seem unfair and arbitrary. Whether you think a property value assessment is inappropriate or you dispute a claim of unpaid taxes, it’s important to have experienced legal representation on your side. Our law firm can assist with tax appeals before the IRS and state tax authorities.

Corporate Tax Compliance

If you’re running a business, getting your taxes right is critical. Even the simplest mistakes can lead to major disruptions for your company. Our law firm can review your finances and make sure you’re compliant with all current federal and state tax laws. We’re also always up to date on new statutory requirements so that you won’t be hit with any surprises.

Tax Incentives and Credits

Did you know that tens of millions of Americans don’t claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) they deserve every year? There are many other credits and incentives available too, and taxpayers frequently don’t realize they’re eligible. Let our St. Louis tax attorneys help you find any additional money you may be entitled to.

Form 990 Preparation

Do you run a Section 501(a) tax-exempt organization? If so, you’re required to file a Form 990 every year. Failure to do so could put your status at risk. Additionally, improper filing could result in significant penalties and damage to your organizational reputation.

Partnership Tax Compliance

Sole proprietorships are fairly straightforward — although there are still some complicated tax issues involved. Unfortunately, individuals in business partnerships sometimes assume their tax issues are equally as basic. This is far from the reality of the situation, so make sure you work with an attorney who can ensure your partnership is tax-compliant.

Tax Resolution

Are tax authorities making your life difficult? Are you facing penalties, levies, liens, collection notices, or other problems? You don’t have to go through these issues alone. Our tax attorneys can help you seek a favorable outcome from the IRS or state tax agencies.

Payroll Tax Problems

If you are paying payroll taxes, it means you’re doing something right with your business. However, these taxes are rarely as simple as an entrepreneur might hope. Work with a legal professional who can help ensure you’re compliant with payroll tax requirements so your business remains protected.

Sales Tax Problems

Businesses frequently encounter issues related to miscalculating or failing to pay their sales taxes. There are many potential consequences when this happens — including the possibility of losing your business license. Don’t risk something so important. Contact our law firm today for a free consultation.

Tax Planning

Effective tax planning strategies can greatly reduce a person’s obligations to state and federal tax authorities. Our law firm can review your finances and help you understand your options. We may be able to save you a significant amount of money, increase your tax refund, and protect your property and assets from taxes.

Tax Return Preparation

Some of the biggest tax problems people encounter stem from improperly or late filed taxes. Fortunately, this is easily avoidable. Our Tennessee and Missouri tax professionals can make sure your taxes are filed correctly and in a timely manner.

Tax Controversy

Are you accused of tax evasion or facing other allegations of illegal behavior? In such a situation, acting quickly is critical. Without proper legal representation, you may find yourself up against a government intent on putting you in prison or destroying your reputation. Let our law firm help.
