Civil and Criminal Tax Disputes

Experienced Orlando Tax Litigation Attorney

Are you worried about going to jail for failing to file your tax returns? Are you being audited by the IRS? Do you worry that you cannot pay your tax debt?

Since 1971, attorney John DeLancett has represented individuals and small businesses in tax litigation matters. Mr. DeLancett founded the Law Offices of John DeLancett, PL, to serve his clients in tax disputes, including those that end up in Tax Court.

Successful Florida Lawyer who Understands the IRS

We help negotiate with the IRS to secure Offers in Compromise and installment payment plans. Whether you are being audited, pursued by collections agents for unpaid taxes, or investigated on criminal grounds, our law firm can offer sound legal advice based on 35 years of experience.

He has handled many tax litigation cases involving the following:

  • Florida 2010 Tax Amnesty Program
  • Failure to file
  • False returns
  • Tax Evasion
  • Estate taxes
  • Tax liens
  • Tax levies
  • Civil fraud penalty
  • Trust fund penalty
  • Audits
  • Tax Appeals
  • Innocent Spouse
  • Substitute for returns
  • Payroll Tax Cases
  • Florida Sales Tax

He is highly experienced with "eggshell audits," those cases that could either end well with a minimal tax or, alternatively, result in criminal charges. We can guide you through the entire process and discuss the likely outcomes of your audit.

It is very important to get a lawyer involved early on in tax litigation to ensure you do not miss important deadlines or opportunities.

For example, if you disagree with a tax audit from the IRS and file in Tax Court within 90 days, you can avoid paying the taxes upfront. If you do not file within the 90-day time frame, you will be required to pay all taxes and penalties before proceeding to district court.
