We defend individuals and businesses against the full range of actions from the Michigan Department of Treasury. Our focused approach addresses the unique procedures and timelines of state tax law, providing a defense against audits, collections, and incorrect assessments.
An audit notice from the state can be unsettling. We represent you during income tax, corporate tax, or sales and use tax examinations to protect your rights and challenge incorrect findings.
If you disagree with a Treasury determination, you have the right to appeal. We handle the entire process, from informal conferences to formal litigation before the Michigan Tax Tribunal.
Aggressive collection actions, such as tax warrants, wage garnishments, and bank levies, threaten your financial stability. We intervene to negotiate repayment plans, settlements, or an Offer in Compromise.
An incorrect tax assessment can create significant financial burdens. We analyze the Treasury's claims, identify errors, and build a strong case to dispute the assessment and reduce what you owe.
State tax disputes are different from federal cases. They often move faster and involve unique administrative procedures and different revenue officer powers. Understanding these distinctions is key to a successful outcome.
Our process begins with a thorough review of the Treasury's allegations and all related evidence. We identify errors in audits or assessments and build a clear strategy for negotiation. We aim for a settlement first, but are always prepared for litigation.
The Michigan Tax Tribunal is an administrative court that hears appeals of state tax determinations. Presenting a case here requires a deep knowledge of state tax law and procedural rules. An experienced Michigan tax tribunal attorney can represent you and argue your case effectively.
Early legal intervention can significantly improve your outcome. Call Ayar Law at 248-262-3400 for a confidential case review. We'll assess your situation, explain your options, and help you determine the best path forward.
"Their professionalism and dedication were evident in how meticulously they handled every aspect of my case."
