What Tax Work Does the Firm Handle for Businesses?
Law Offices of Aaron Resnick provides corporate tax planning, business tax compliance, representation in tax audits and litigation, and international tax planning and compliance. The work starts with the company, the transaction or the notice involved. Have the relevant agreements, filings and correspondence ready so the firm can assess the business issue.
| Business Issue | Records to Have Ready |
|---|---|
| Corporate tax planning | Company structure, ownership records, financial statements and proposed transactions. |
| Tax compliance | Filed returns, reporting schedules, payment records and notices about missing or disputed filings. |
| Tax audit or litigation | The complete notice, the periods under review, document requests and any court papers. |
| International tax planning or compliance | The countries involved, ownership structure, business activities and existing tax filings. |
Aaron Resnick reviews the business issue and the work the company needs before the scope of representation is agreed.
What Should I Bring to a Corporate Tax Planning Review?
A corporate tax planning review starts with how the business is organized, what it does and which transaction or change the owners are considering. Law Offices of Aaron Resnick provides that planning service. Bring the company documents and financial information, along with proposed agreements and any tax advice the business has already received.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) explains that the form of business affects the taxes and returns involved. Identifying the company and its current filings comes before comparing a proposed change.
Mark the proposed transaction separately from completed transactions. Include any signing date, funding date or agreement that limits what can still be changed. For broader company and contract matters, see the firm's Florida business lawyer page.

What Does Business Tax Compliance Cover?
Business tax compliance involves identifying the reporting, filing and payment requirements that apply to the company's activities. Income, employment, sales and excise taxes raise different questions. Law Offices of Aaron Resnick handles business tax compliance; the review needs the company's actual operations and records, not an assumption that every business has the same obligations.
The IRS business tax guidance distinguishes income, employment and excise taxes. The Florida Department of Revenue separately explains sales and use tax registration, reporting and payment requirements.
Have the filing history and supporting records ready. Identify who prepared each return, what was submitted, and any missing filing or notice.

What Happens When a Business Receives a Tax Audit Notice?
For a tax audit, identify the agency, tax period, requested records and response dates in the notice and related correspondence. Law Offices of Aaron Resnick represents businesses in tax audits and disputes. Keep the complete correspondence together, including any responses the business or its accountant has already sent.
An IRS audit examines books, accounts and financial records against the return. The IRS explains that selection does not always mean there is a problem and that the agency requests the records it needs.
A request for documents is not the same as a notice giving a right to challenge a proposed assessment. Keep each letter with its envelope or delivery information, and identify any requested meeting, response or signature.
Aaron Resnick reviews the notice, the documents requested and the next deadline before addressing the dispute.
How Does the Firm Handle International Business Tax Questions?
Law Offices of Aaron Resnick handles international tax planning and compliance for businesses operating across borders. The review begins with the countries involved, the business structure, the transactions and the filings already made. Identify the question the business needs answered and any advice or notices received from a tax authority or adviser.
The IRS international business resources cover different obligations for different business arrangements. The IRS treaty resources also make clear that treaty provisions vary by country and type of income; the existence of a treaty alone does not settle a company's position.
Have the ownership structure, relevant contracts and existing filings available. Identify which obligations concern the United States and which concern another country.

Which Deadlines Need Attention in a Business Tax Dispute?
The deadline in a business tax dispute depends on the agency, the notice and the review being requested. A response to an auditor, an administrative protest and a court petition are different steps. Law Offices of Aaron Resnick reviews tax disputes; give the firm every notice and the date it was issued or mailed.
For a federal notice of deficiency, the United States Tax Court describes a general petition period of 90 days after mailing, or 150 days when the notice is addressed to a person outside the United States. Other notices have different periods, and the actual notice and filing rules need review.
For a notice of deficiency under Florida's corporate income tax law, chapter 220, Florida Statutes, provides a written protest period of 60 days after issuance, or 150 days if the taxpayer is outside the United States. This is a different procedure from petitioning the federal Tax Court.
The Florida Department of Revenue's informal dispute process runs outside court and requires a timely protest that follows the notice.
Aaron Resnick reviews the notice and the procedural stage before the business relies on a deadline.
What Should I Send, and What Happens Next?
Start with the business name, the tax issue, the authority involved and the next deadline. Have the returns, notices and supporting records ready. Law Offices of Aaron Resnick reviews every inquiry and tells you whether it can help; an inquiry is not a tax opinion and does not create representation.
Identify the immediate task. State whether the business needs planning, compliance work, help with an audit or representation in an existing dispute.
Prepare the documents. Keep complete notices, filed returns, financial records and relevant agreements together. Do not put tax identification numbers, bank details or full tax returns in the public inquiry form; have those records ready for the firm's requested submission process.
Discuss the scope and schedule. Ask which deadline comes first, which documents are needed and who will handle the work. The IRS explains that audit length varies with the issues, available information and scheduling.
