Tax Matters
Real Property Tax Appeals
We represent individuals and businesses in property tax appeals involving both real and personal property. We have successfully pursued tax appeals on residential properties, commercial and multi-family properties, including low and moderate income multi-family housing, raw land, and personal property. We work closely with appraisers and our Real Estate Group in obtaining and evaluating comparative information and appraisals to evaluate whether an appeal is cost effective and warranted.
State and Federal Tax Matters
We represent individuals and businesses with compliance matters involving state corporate income taxes, sales and use taxes, admission taxes, and miscellaneous taxes. Representation before the State Department of Revenue includes audit proceedings, negotiated civil settlements and, where necessary, litigation. We also represent individuals and businesses on Internal Revenue Service matters ranging from the non-filing of tax returns and audits, to responsible party exposure for under withholding of federal income taxes and social security payments.
Estate Planning
The Tax Group works closely with our Elder Law and Estate Planning Practice Group in structuring and documenting familiy limited partnerships and estate plans that maximize the use of federal estate tax exemptions and credits and in preparing and filing federal and state estate tax returns. We frequently appear in Probate Court, and represent estates under review or audit by the Internal Revenue Service or Connecticut Department of Revenue.
