Taxation

Who We Are

McCarthy Lebit’s tax attorneys are recognized as among the best in the state. Several of our tax attorneys previously earned CPA licenses or have extensively studied finance and accounting, and many of them have earned either a Master of Business Administration or LLM in Taxation.

We do not practice “cookie cutter” law nor do we “draft by template.” Instead, our team discusses client scenarios in a collaborative environment to ensure all issues are identified and potential solutions are vetted.

Our clients turn to us before they start a business, structure a business plan, or launch a new product because they rely on our depth of business acumen and experience in handling these particular matters.

How We Help

We routinely counsel clients on finance, operations, compliance, and administration matters. The primary focus of our practice is representing businesses in matters involving audits, collections, appeals, and litigation before the IRS, Ohio Department of Taxation, and local tax authorities. We also counsel individuals in tax matters involving audits, collections, appeals, and litigation. We resolve controversies involving business and individual income tax returns and net profits tax returns, estate taxes, payroll taxes, trust fund taxes, sales taxes, real estate taxes, and commercial activity taxes.

Our lawyers prepare clients for audits and propose offers in compromise, extension, and mitigation of penalty. We also handle federal, state, and local appeals, representing our clients in various forums, including U.S. Tax Court, U.S. District Court, U.S. Court of Appeals, local Boards of Revision, and the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals.
