Experience that Counts

The attorneys at Thorn Law Group are a highly skilled team of professionals with more than 80 years of combined tax law experience.  Many of our tax lawyers have worked as trial attorneys with the Internal Revenue Service and served as law clerks with the United States Tax Court before entering private practice.  

The legal professionals at our firm represent clients in the United States and across the globe.

These legal professionals provide our clients with a distinct advantage when dealing with sensitive tax issues: they are able to draw upon their unique insight and understanding of IRS operations and federal court procedures to develop legal strategies that minimize our clients’ exposure while producing optimal outcomes.  

Each Boston tax attorney at our firm has developed the skills and knowledge necessary to handle complex international and domestic tax law matters.  Our lawyers have extensive experience practicing before the various courts and authorities that hear tax controversies, including the IRS, the Department of Justice, the U.S. Tax Court, state taxing authorities and professional responsibility tribunals.  While our firm takes swift action to settle tax disputes and avoid costly litigation, when a resolution cannot be reached we vigorously represent our clients before these courts and authorities and handle all appeals associated with their case.

IRS Announces Significant Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program Changes

Based upon past experience and feedback from the tax community and the National Taxpayer Advocate, the IRS has recently made several modifications to its Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDP).  These changes are designed to provide more opportunities for taxpayers with undisclosed offshore accounts to come forward and voluntarily report their accounts to the IRS. 

The IRS has made important revisions to the program which will impact taxpayers who acted willfully to shield their foreign accounts from the IRS.  Under these modifications, willful violators may be required to submit more information to the IRS, including all account statements, and pay their offshore penalty at the time of their application.  Taxpayers in the Boston area with questions about the OVDP and how it may impact them should consult a Massachusetts IRS voluntary disclosure lawyer at Thorn Law Group.
