Tax Resolution Support
If the IRS or a state tax agency challenges your return, deduction, credit, assessment, or business tax position, Vital Tax & Advisory Group steps in to defend the matter at the tax and financial level. We identify the real issue, build the record, pressure test the agency's position, prepare the response, challenge unsupported adjustments, and work to move the matter toward the strongest available resolution.
How we help
If an agency challenges your numbers, the response has to be built, not improvised. We take the matter on and work it methodically, from the first notice toward the strongest available resolution.
We identify the real issue. We pin down exactly what is being challenged, so the response targets what actually matters.
We build the record. We assemble the documents, calculations, and evidence that back your position, organized and ready.
We pressure test the agency's position. We examine what the IRS or state is actually asserting, and where it is weak or unsupported.
We prepare the response. Clear schedules, explanations, and workpapers that answer the agency directly and completely.
We challenge unsupported adjustments. Where the agency's numbers are not backed by the facts or the record, we push back.
We work toward the strongest resolution. We move the matter toward the best outcome the facts and the record will support.
When the fight goes beyond tax administration.
If the matter escalates or requires legal advice, formal attorney representation, appeals, Tax Court litigation, or broader legal strategy, you may separately engage our affiliated law firm, Ukpabi Legal, PLLC. The law firm serves as a legal escalation path when the fight moves beyond tax administration and requires counsel prepared to advocate at the next level.
Vital Tax & Advisory Group is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Engaging VTAG for tax planning, tax compliance, bookkeeping, CFO advisory, or related services does not create an attorney-client relationship, and the protections of that relationship do not apply to VTAG's work. Ukpabi Legal, PLLC is a separate, affiliated law firm that provides legal services, including tax controversy and IRS representation, under its own engagement terms.
