Tax Opinions

The Supreme Court has repeatedly stated that taxpayers are allowed to structure their affairs so as to minimize their tax liabilities. Congress and many state legislatures have enacted penalty provisions and criminal sanctions for those who abuse this right. Because taxpayers may not always be in a position to judge for themselves where the line is between aggressive tax planning and abuse, it is good business to secure the opinion of experienced, objective legal counsel.

Henson Efron tax attorneys have the talent to advise clients on whether or not that deal is just too good to be true. We counsel clients as to whether there is authority for the position taken on tax returns, and we have the experience to know which structures pass judicial scrutiny.
