Tax Problem Law Center LLC.

What the firm handles

The firm works on tax problems for individuals and businesses. Its cases involve two authorities: the IRS and the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. Typical matters include unfiled tax returns, back taxes, tax notices, levies, and audits. The firm also takes New York State sales tax cases, which reach business owners who collect sales tax from customers and answer to the state for the amounts they hold. A business can owe sales tax even in a year it posted a loss, because that money came from customers and was held on the state's behalf.

Tax resolution is the firm's whole practice, according to its website. That work sorts into three related lines: general tax law, tax relief and settlements, and disputes and audits with the IRS. A client carrying a state balance and a federal one can bring both to the same office, which spares the trouble of retelling the same history to two sets of advisers.

Each matter starts from a different place. Unfiled returns are tax years a person or business has skipped, and the tax authorities can prepare a substitute return on their own when a taxpayer stays silent. Back taxes are amounts already assessed and still owed, sometimes with penalties and interest stacked on top. A tax notice is the letter that opens most of these cases, and it often carries a deadline that decides how much room a taxpayer has left. In my opinion, a firm that lists the specific problems it takes gives a worried client a faster read on whether they have come to the right place.

Who does the work

Tax attorney Charles Rosselli handles the firm's cases. He has represented individuals and businesses in New York State and across the country in tax matters for more than 20 years. He is licensed to practice law in New York, and he works with clients directly on their cases.

Rosselli has written articles on IRS and New York tax matters, which points to a habit of setting the field out in plain terms. Direct representation in a tax case means the attorney reads the notices, gathers the records, speaks with the revenue officer or auditor, and files the responses. The firm runs on his work, so the lawyer a client speaks with first is the one who stays on the file. The result is a single point of contact who stays reachable as the matter moves.

As a reviewer, I weigh a single-attorney setup on its own terms. It keeps a case in one set of hands from the first call onward, and it gives a client one person to reach for an update. That continuity can steady a client who is anxious about a government letter and unsure what the next step is. For tax resolution, where one lawyer often carries a matter through each stage, that arrangement suits the work.

How IRS and state tax matters proceed

Tax problems usually arrive as letters. An IRS or New York State notice names the tax years and the amount in question, and it sets a deadline to reply. Missing that deadline can push a case toward collection, so an early response carries weight. The firm takes on these notice cases for its clients, and the first step is often reading the letter closely to see what the authority is actually asking.

Notices and audits

An audit asks a taxpayer to support figures on a filed return with records, and Rosselli represents clients through that examination. The reviewer at the tax authority checks income, deductions, and credits against documents such as receipts, bank statements, and prior filings. A sales tax audit in New York looks at a business's records of what it collected and what it sent to the state. A clear paper trail shortens the process, and a thin one draws it out.

Collection and settlement

A levy is a collection action. The IRS or the state moves against wages, bank funds, or other property to cover an unpaid balance, usually after earlier notices have gone unanswered. Getting a levy released turns on showing the authority a workable path to payment. Unfiled returns often have to be prepared and filed before a taxpayer can ask for relief, because the authorities want a full picture of what is owed. From there, a case can close with an installment agreement that spreads payments over time, an offer to settle for less than the full balance where a taxpayer qualifies, or a request to reduce penalties.

Reach and consultations

The firm sits in Garden City, in Nassau County on Long Island. It represents clients across Nassau and Suffolk Counties, Queens, and the wider New York City area. It also takes cases elsewhere in New York State and for clients around the country, which fits federal IRS work that does not turn on where a taxpayer lives.

Consultations happen in person, by video, or by phone. Someone in Suffolk County and someone several states away can each start the same way. Video and phone options suit tax cases, where much of the work runs on documents, filings, and calls, and where a client rarely needs to appear in a courtroom.

A first consultation in a tax matter usually covers the notices a client has received, the years involved, and the balance at stake. That early read shapes whether the work ahead is an audit defense, a collection response, or a settlement request. It also sets expectations for how long the matter may run and what records the client needs to pull together.

What the longevity shows

The firm lists a founding date of 1999 under the legal name Tax Problem Law Center LLC. By its own account, it has resolved IRS and New York State tax problems for more than 20 years. A firm that has stayed with one area of law across that span builds a settled routine for the paperwork, the deadlines, and the back-and-forth with revenue agents that these cases turn on.

The firm keeps an online presence through its website and a Facebook page under the Tax Problem Law Center name. Charles Rosselli has carried the firm through that period, and he remains the tax attorney who handles the firm's cases.
