About Alvin Brown & Associates

Attorney Alvin Brown worked for 27 years as a supervisory manager with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Office of the Chief Counsel in the IRS National Office located in Washington, DC. He would go on to open Alvin Brown & Associates by drawing on his experience with tax law and IRS operations. His New York tax law firm has been representing taxpayers before the IRS since 1998. These taxpayers included taxpayers from all 50 states, US taxpayers living and working abroad, and non-resident aliens with US businesses. Alvin Brown & Associates primarily focuses on three areas:

Representing Taxpayers Before the IRS

The law firm’s members are advocates in representing taxpayers before the IRS. This entails using tax legislative history, IRS administrative manuals, tax regulations, the Internal Revenue Code, and tax legislative history to support oral arguments in civil and criminal issues. Alvin Brown & Associates also conducts extensive research into State law so that it can use the taxpayer’s local laws as needed.

Offer in Compromise

An offer in compromise is a negotiated settlement between a taxpayer and the IRS in which the IRS agrees to settle a taxpayer’s debt by accepting less than the full amount owed. Alvin Brown & Associates has a national perspective that allows it to prevent IRS error and misapplication of the tax law. The firm’s insight into unpublished IRS practices and policies stem from Alvin Brown’s extensive career working directly for the IRS. Thanks to this expertise, the firm is able to settle offer in compromise cases for the lowest amount that the IRS will accept for a final settlement (“acceptable offer) while minimizing the opportunity the IRS has to return a case without a resolution.

Tax Help

Alvin Brown & Associates has an unparalleled knowledge of the Internal Revenue Code and tax filing procedures. The firm uses this expertise to provide tax help for accountants, CPAs, enrolled agents, and other attorneys.
