Fineman West Helps a Defrauded Client Obtain $1 Million Tax Refund

Client:

Manufacturing industry client

Challenge:

A long-time client was expecting a $1 million IRS refund, but the refund was never received. Unfortunately, the client was a victim of fraud, which impacted their ability to recover their refund. The client immediately turned to Fineman West to resolve the tax fraud issue and secure their significant refund.

Strategy:

We immediately became our client’s tax advocate. Drawing on our deep familiarity with the IRS, we knew exactly which procedures to follow and departments to work with to fix this problem efficiently. Our team worked closely with the IRS taxpayer advocate to successfully secure the client’s full refund. We also involved the FBI to resolve the tax fraud issue and ensure the client’s ability to receive refunds in the future would not be impacted.

Result:

Fineman West obtained the client’s $1 million refund and involved the right parties to get to the bottom of the tax fraud issue. The client’s business is going strong, and we continue to represent the client for their tax planning needs.
