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.

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.

This article explains what the Tax Division was, why its elimination matters, where its functions went, and what the...

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.

Mark C. Milton, Founder and Managing Attorney of Milton Law Group, served as a Trial Attorney in the DOJ Tax Division — the...

in News
