PRIMARY CONTACTS: Stephen R. Worth CPA, JD

Nearly every state has some form or a combination of an income, franchise or privilege tax. Accordingly, companies that operate in multiple states face an increasingly difficult burden to comply with states’ complex and ever-changing laws and regulations.

Nexus Studies – Review of your company’s state and local tax filing obligations.

Due Diligence Reviews – Analysis of the potential state and local tax impact of proposed corporate changes, including buy-sell agreements.

Voluntary Disclosure Agreements – Negotiations and advance filing agreements with state tax departments to satisfy income/franchise tax liabilities, along with reduced or abated penalty/interest.
