Posted by Milton Law Group
in Tax Controversy

The title "DOJ Tax Division Trial Attorney" carries weight in legal circles, but most taxpayers have only a vague sense of what the job actually involved. For nearly 90 years, these were the lawyers the federal government sent into court to represent the United States in tax cases. They handled refund suits, lien foreclosures, injunction actions against tax shelter promoters, criminal tax prosecutions, and a long list of other matters that made up the federal tax docket. Understanding what Trial Attorneys actually did inside the Tax Division, and why that work was demanding and substantively rich, helps explain why former...

Mark Milton Weighs In on Federal NIL Legislation and the Future of College Sports

Posted by Milton Law Group
in Sports & Entertainment Law

Key Takeaways A bipartisan federal bill led by Sen. Eric Schmitt, Sen. Ted Cruz, and Sen. Maria Cantwell aims to create one national set of rules for college athletics.

The proposal includes a narrow antitrust safe harbor, transfer guardrails, and protections framed around women's and Olympic sports. How the bill defines "fair market value" and "legitimate business purpose" could shape what athletes are allowed to earn.

What Happened to the DOJ Tax Division? Understanding the Restructuring of Federal Tax Litigation

Posted by Milton Law Group
in Tax Controversy

For nearly 90 years, the U.S. Department of Justice Tax Division was the federal government's centralized arm for tax litigation. It represented the United States in tax cases nationwide, prosecuted federal tax crimes alongside U.S. Attorneys' Offices, and built decades of institutional knowledge about how complex tax cases get litigated in federal court. Then it was dissolved. For taxpayers, tax professionals, and anyone trying to understand who now handles federal tax cases on the government's side, the restructuring has created confusion. This article explains what the Tax Division was, why its elimination matters, where its functions went, and what the...

Why Hire a Former DOJ Tax Division Attorney? What Mark Milton’s Federal Government Experience Means for Your IRS Case

Posted by Milton Law Group
in Tax Controversy

When a taxpayer faces a serious IRS problem, the question of who handles the case often matters as much as the legal strategy itself. A former U.S. Department of Justice Tax Division attorney brings something most tax lawyers cannot: direct experience representing the federal government in tax litigation, a working understanding of how the IRS and DOJ build and evaluate cases internally, and the credibility that comes with having been on the government's side of the table. Mark C. Milton, Founder and Managing Attorney of Milton Law Group, served as a Trial Attorney in the DOJ Tax Division — the...

IRS Issues Erroneous CP35E Notices to Millions of Taxpayers: What Milton Law Group Clients Need to Know

Posted by Milton Law Group
in News

In late April and early May 2026, the IRS mistakenly issued millions of CP35E notices stating: “We couldn’t direct deposit your 2025 Form 1040 refund.” These notices were sent even to taxpayers who were not owed a refund - including many who had a balance due on their 2025 return. This widespread error has caused understandable confusion, especially because the CP35E notice is normally associated with the IRS’s new direct-deposit verification process tied to the federal shift away from paper refund checks. What Is a CP35E Notice? The CP35E notice is part of the IRS’s updated refund-processing system. It is typically issued when...
