Get Closer to IRS Relief with One Consultation

Every unfiled return isn’t just a delay!

It’s the starting point the IRS can use against you

Unfiled Return

You skip a filing year, thinking you’ll handle it later or it won’t be noticed.

Substitute Filing by IRS (SFR)

The IRS files a return on your behalf, without deductions, credits, or context, showing you owe more than you actually do.

Penalty Notices

Late filing and late payment penalties start stacking up, increasing your balance month after month.

Refund Holds/Account Freezes

Any future refund you’re entitled to may be withheld, and your bank accounts can be flagged or frozen.

Wage Garnishment & Tax Liens

The IRS doesn’t wait. They can seize a portion of your paycheck and place a lien on your property.

Multiple-Year Review

Your other past returns come under scrutiny. A single missed year often leads to a full investigation of several.

Audit Trigger

Any inconsistency or gap is now a red flag. An audit may be initiated, demanding documents and explanations.

Criminal Tax Investigation

If the IRS believes your non-filing was willful, your case may be referred to Criminal Investigation (CI), leading to prosecution, fines, or even jail time.

Still Think the IRS Will Forget?

It’s Exactly the Opposite.

The longer you wait, the more records they build. And when they act, they move fast, putting everything you’ve built over the years at risk.

Our Solution-Driven Approach

Full-Depth Case Review

Not just a glance at your tax history. We evaluate your financial records, IRS notices, and prior filings with both a legal and accounting lens, identifying risks others miss.

Strategic Filing Unfiled Tax Returns

Not just a glance at your tax history. We evaluate your financial records, IRS notices, and prior filings with both a legal and accounting lens, identifying risks others miss.

Total IRS Representation

From day one, you never have to speak to the IRS alone. We respond, represent, and negotiate directly, whether the issue is tax debt, substitute filings, or potential fraud review.

Enforcement Defense with Legal Standing

When garnishments or levies hit, financial expertise alone isn’t enough. We combine tax insight with legal authority to pause collections and file formal relief requests quickly and effectively.

Audit Risk Reduction at the Root

Audits don’t just come from numbers—they come from patterns. We eliminate the weak points that IRS agents look for while staying prepared to represent you if the audit begins.

Long-Term Safeguards that Hold Up in Court

Not just a glance at your tax history. We evaluate your financial records, IRS notices, and prior filings with both a legal and accounting lens, identifying risks others miss.

You're Not Alone, And You’re Not Too Late

Whether it’s been one year or ten, we’ve helped clients in far more serious situations find clarity, correct their records, and avoid further IRS damage.

You don’t have to know where to start. You just need the right tax attorney-CPA duo to take it from here.

Relief Options That Can Still Work in Your Favor

Voluntary Disclosure Program

If you haven’t filed for several years or have offshore accounts, this is your chance to come forward before the IRS comes after you. We guide you through the entire process safely, confidentially, and with attorney-client protection.

Fresh Start Initiative

If tax debt results after filing your missing returns, this initiative helps reduce or restructure what you owe. Whether it’s Offer in Compromise, Installment Agreements, or Penalty Abatement, we determine what’s possible and handle every step.

Streamlined Filing Compliance

Ideal for non-willful taxpayers with foreign income or accounts. We help correct unfiled returns while minimizing penalties before it escalates into something more serious.

Audit & Enforcement Relief

From wage garnishments to bank levies, pending audits, passport restrictions, and asset seizures, we know how to stop aggressive IRS action and negotiate relief while we get your returns filed.

Amended Returns & Protective Filings

If the IRS filed a Substitute Return (SFR), we can replace it with a corrected return that reflects your true deductions and income, potentially saving you thousands.

Get the Relief You Qualify For, And the Support You Actually Need

We believe in doing it right from the very beginning. That’s why we start by reviewing your case thoroughly—so we can find the best IRS relief option that fits your situation.
The IRS offers these programs, but getting approved takes more than just applying. It takes someone who understands how the IRS evaluates financials, eligibility, and intent.
And if one relief option doesn’t fit your situation, we pivot to the next best one, without losing momentum.
When the IRS denies your qualification, we don’t stop. We challenge their financial determinations, file appeals, and push back through every legal and procedural channel available.

Don’t Let Uncertainty Be the Reason You Wait

Every day you don’t act, the IRS gets further ahead. But one clear conversation can change the direction you’re heading.
You don’t need all the answers right now.
You just need one focused call with someone who’s handled this hundreds of times before.
Let’s talk—before this gets harder to undo.

Hear from relieved
taxpayers who trusted Verni Tax Law

Anthony was creative in helping me resolve some past issues in a way that they never became a problem so that is greatly appreciated and I feel confident I can now enjoy my retirement with peace of mind. Thanks for that.

Ken B.

Cebu City, Philippines

I came to Anthony Verni with FBAR issues. I was not sure what to expect and felt that I was going to be put in a difficult position financially as well as legally. My fears were unfounded and I was very satisfied with his professionalism and the outcome of my case.

Douglas R.

Osaka, Japan

Anthony’s help with Swift & Secure Systems Inc., CheckWare Workstations LLC and my personal taxes have been of great value. Since moving to Florida (and my Connecticut Accountant retiring) I have tried various other methods of keeping the accounting and taxes under control.

Phil Y

President, Swift & Secure Systems Inc., Boynton Beach, FL

I would like to thank Anthony N. Verni.   Mr. Verni has successfully represented us before the Internal Revenue Service. We had foreign bank accounts that we inadvertently didn’t report and we were subject to steep penalties. As a result his efforts, the FBAR penalties were waived by the IRS.
Thank You

Yassin and Eva, B.

Frequently Asked
Questions

As both an attorney and CPA with an MBA, I offer a rare combination of legal, accounting, and business expertise that most tax resolution firms cannot provide. Unlike other firms, I personally handle every case from start to finish. My boutique practice approach ensures meticulous attention to detail and customized strategies based on your specific risk profile, rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions.

I represent individual taxpayers, trusts and estates, business entities, foreign financial institutions, trade associations, and professional entertainers. My boutique practice is committed to developing and implementing meaningful domestic and international tax strategies that yield maximum tax savings while minimizing risk.

Living in Thailand or any international location won’t limit your access to quality representation. I offer flexible scheduling for consultations, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends, to accommodate your local time. All meetings can be conducted via secure video conferencing, and I can represent you before the IRS without requiring your physical presence in the United States.

Yes, as a US taxpayer, you generally must report financial accounts that your foreign businesses maintain if you have signature authority or financial interest in those accounts and if the aggregate value exceeds $10,000 at any point during the year. I can help by:

  • Conducting a comprehensive review of your global business structure
  • Identifying all reportable accounts across your multiple businesses
  • Preparing the necessary FBAR filings
  • Addressing any past non-compliance through appropriate disclosure programs
  • Creating a sustainable compliance strategy for future years

I offer flexible consultation scheduling to accommodate clients worldwide. Initial consultations typically last 45-60 minutes and can be conducted by phone, secure video conference, or in person at my Princeton or Fort Lauderdale offices. 

To schedule, you can call directly at (561) 531-8809 or use the secure contact form on my website. All consultations are confidential and protected by attorney-client privilege.

These complex cases require a multi-faceted approach. I’ll first assess whether you qualify for the Streamlined Filing Procedures or need to pursue other disclosure options. Then I’ll develop a comprehensive strategy that addresses both issues simultaneously, ensuring all filings are consistent. 

My experience with the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program since 2009 provides valuable insight into how the IRS approaches these cases, allowing me to anticipate challenges and develop effective responses that minimize penalties while bringing you into full compliance.

My approach to tax dispute resolution is distinguished by three key elements:

  1. Comprehensive analysis: I conduct an exhaustive review of your financial documentation and tax history before developing any strategy, often revealing options and defenses that might otherwise be overlooked.
  2. Strategic negotiation: Rather than taking an adversarial stance with tax authorities, I focus on collaborative problem-solving when possible, which has repeatedly resulted in favorable settlements.
  3. Direct attorney involvement: I personally handle every aspect of your representation, ensuring that the expertise you’re paying for is actually applied to your case at every stage of the process.
