Arizona State and Local Tax Representation

If you need to resolve issues with Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) or local tax authorities (i.e., Scottsdale, Phoenix, Glendale, Tempe, Tucson, Flagstaff, Casa Grande, Sierra Vista, or other Arizona cities), it’s important to put your case in the hands of an experienced tax attorney to resolve your tax problem efficiently and effectively.

The tax law firm of McFARLANE LAW – A Tax Law Firm - is based in Phoenix / Scottsdale but serves Arizona taxpayers statewide. No matter what type of tax issue you are facing, we offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.

Helping Clients Involved in State Tax Controversies

We help you with any federal, state or local tax issue you are facing, including:

• Arizona income tax issues
• Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT)/Sales Tax or Use Tax
• Personal property tax
• Employment taxes & Trust Fund Recovery Penalty Assessments
• Commercial property tax assessments
• AZ Dept of Economic Security worker classification issues

Deadlines and due dates are important! There are many levels of administrative protests and appeals, depending on the type of tax. The process of appealing a tax liability or an assessor’s valuation of your property or improvements is complicated and full of procedural pitfalls. We understand the process and have years of experience dealing with all levels of appeals.

Filing a tax appeal or protest is a way of forcing the state and local tax authorities to negotiate with you. Despite its bad reputation, the state is often willing to negotiate with taxpayers to resolve their controversies. We at McFARLANE LAW – A Tax Law Firm will handle the Arizona Tax Court appeals of state and local tax determinations once we have exhausted all administrative appeals. We are conveniently located in the Phoenix / Scottsdale, Maricopa County, area of Arizona, but can handle cases across the United States.

Handling Maricopa Property Tax Assessments

County tax assessors assess and collect property taxes. Property taxes are one of the primary funding sources for local government in Arizona. The reality is that real real estate values have depressed substantially. However, in many cases, county tax assessors are not accurately assessing property to reflect the downturn in property values throughout the state. If your residential or commercial property has not been assessed accurately, our Property Tax Law Firm can help.

McFARLANE LAW also handles issues where the local government has changed your property classification (such as vacant, agricultural and commercial), which can dramatically change the amount of taxes you owe.
