IRS Attorney -

As the term implies, an IRS attorney works for the Internal Revenue Service. Like other tax attorneys, an IRS attorney can focus on different areas of tax law such as estate tax law, corporate tax law, and income tax law. Capital gains tax and property tax are also areas of tax law that an IRS attorney can focus on.

But instead of trying to find loopholes for clients, an IRS attorney will try to close those loopholes or prove that people are cheating on their taxes. The role of the IRS attorney has changed over the last decade. Previously, an IRS attorney would only be called in after an investigation of a person's taxes was completed. Now, it's more and more common for an IRS attorney to take part in the investigation right from the beginning. It's not uncommon for an IRS attorney to aggressively question people during meetings.

Sometimes, an IRS attorney will leave the IRS and go into private practice. Armed with the knowledge gained from working with the IRS, a former IRS attorney can be an incredible resource for clients with tax questions or problems.
