FIRM VISION
After over 15 years with a boutique tax controversy law firm, Mr. Jarski decided to start his own practice based on three guiding principles – experience, integrity and value.
Mr. Jarski has extensive experience in Federal tax controversy matters ranging from simple to complex. Since 2003, he has handled numerous tax controversy cases, developing specific expertise in international tax and information return compliance, which often requires ability to deal with financial statements in multiple languages and formats. Whether your case involves a simple installment agreement or a complex web of international entities and accounts, Mr. Jarski is ready to help.
Clients who are facing an IRS problem are often afraid and at a loss as to options available to resolve their situation. This leaves them vulnerable to unethical practices and scare tactics employed by professionals. Mr. Jarski believes that each client is entitled to a fair assessment of their situation and available options. Moreover, it is often equally important for a client to understand why a certain path may not be the right fit.
Mr. Jarski believes in delivering value by efficiently providing high quality legal advice. His many years of experience allow him to quickly identify the issues and potential solutions. Mr. Jarski often works in tandem with other professional such as CPAs and attorneys to efficiently assist with issues out of their immediate area of expertise.
IRS INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURES
In situations involving potential risk of criminal referral, we assist and guide clients through the IRS voluntary program. Although the IRS Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDP) is no longer available, it is still possible to mitigate the risk of criminal consequences.
IRS COLLECTION MATTERS
IRS collection notices or a visit from an IRS Revenue Officer can be scary, meanwhile "fly by night" operations promise unrealistic results. We advise regarding IRS collection alternates which make sense for your situation.
PFIC CALCULATIONS
We assist taxpayers and tax professionals with Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) calculations. Whether you have one transaction or thousands, we can leverage our custom software to accurately and efficiently report PFIC transactions and ownership.
IRS EMPLOYMENT TAX & TRUST FUND RECOVERY PENALTY ASSESSMENTS
Employment tax collection matters present unique challenges and pitfalls. They should be handled with special care and consistent with an overall strategy in mind.
FOREIGN FINANCIAL ACCOUNT TAX SUMMARY
Most foreign financial institutions do not provide US taxpayers with coherent and usable summaries to enable accurate return preparation. Regardless of the language, financial institution and complexity, we are able to assist you and your return preparer with correctly reporting your income.
IRS DOMESTIC VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE PRACTICE
Although the IRS Domestic Voluntary Disclosure practice has not received the same publicity as its International cousin, it remains a critical tool to assist taxpayers who face the potential of criminal referral.

PRACTICE
