IRS & CALIFORNIA TAX LAW & BUSINESS LAW,
LIVING TRUSTS, WILLS & PROBATE,
TAX-EXEMPT NON-PROFIT CORPORATION LAW

If you need business law, tax law or estate planning assistance, I can help you. I'm California tax lawyer R. Anthony Bauman, APLC, an AV-rated tax attorney. I provide fast, skilled help for personal and business income tax law, business law, and tax exempt non-profit corporation law. I also handle estate planning (living trusts, wills, specialty trusts, and probate) with a focus on minimizing estate and gift taxes and probate fees.

I've been certified as a tax law specialist by the State Bar of California, Board of Legal Specialization, and have an LL.M. (Masters of Law) degree in taxation from the University of San Diego School of Law, Graduate Tax Program. I provide the highest level of services to all of my clients. I will personally handle every aspect of your case from start to finish.

I can provide you with fast, knowledgeable help you on all of these problems:

• BUSINESS LAW

I provide expert California business tax and legal help. I can help you through:

  1. Tax planning to give your business the legal form (corporation, LLC, partnership, limited partnership, professional corporation) that will best protect your assets, save you the most tax dollars, and provide limited liability.
  2. Handling your incorporation, formation of LLC, partnership, business law regulatory and licensing compliance.
  3. Providing sound legal advice and services for payroll tax issues, payroll, accounting, operating problems and corporate liquidation and winding-up.
  4. Reviewing and drafting business contracts, including LLC operating agreements, buy-sell agreements, independent contractor agreements, confidentiality agreements and employment agreements.
  5. Keeping your corporation in compliance with law by ensuring annual shareholder meetings are held and minutes properly recorded
  6. Structuring compensation for key employees including employee stock option plans and addressing the estate planning needs of owners and key employees.
  7. Representing your business at trial in any business lawsuit, including unfair competition, fraud, misrepresentation, contract disputes, and other business disagreements.

• IRS TAX HELP

I provide IRS tax help to individual taxpayers and businesses suffering from IRS tax problems. IRS problems include IRS tax levy, tax lien, payroll tax problems, 941 payroll tax penalties, offer in compromise, tax evasion, innocent spouse relief, IRS audit, criminal tax, evasion or other IRS tax problems. I am experienced in obtaining fast resolution for most cases through negotiation with the IRS, FTB, and SBE. If I am unable to settle a tax case, I have the experience, resources and tenacity to take your tax case through trial and appeal.

• CALIFORNIA STATE TAXES

I also solve California tax problems by providing California tax help to taxpayers under audit or collection for income tax, sales tax, or use tax by the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB), California State Board of Equalization (SBE) and /or the Employment Development Department (EDD).

• TAX-EXEMPT NON-PROFIT CORPORATIONS

If you have a non-profit foundation or association, I can help your organization seek a tax-exempt status by forming a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. This will help protect the organizers from personal liability for the organization's activities and is a necessary step for tax-exempt status. I will also prepare bylaws for receiving and administering donations and indemnifying founders and employees from claims and lawsuits; the bylaws will include provisions necessary for tax-exempt status. Finally, I will file for the best IRS tax-exempt status for which your organization qualifies.

• ESTATE PLANNING & LIVING TRUSTS

I am uniquely qualified to prepare an integrated estate plan for you. This generally includes a living trust, will, living will, power of attorney, health care power of attorney and probate and trust administration services. I take pride in tackling difficult estate planning issues to provide you with complete peace of mind. I can help ensure that your children will be cared for by the persons you choose. Your living trusts, carefully tailored to your needs, will allow you to avoid costly probate proceedings. I also follow through to ensure that your trust is properly funded and that your beneficiary designations are coordinated with your estate plan.

New clients are always welcome; please call me at (858) 793-7007 for an appointment. There is plenty of free parking and a convenient location just off the I-5 freeway at my Carmel Valley law firm offices, in San Diego, California.
