The Importance of Tax Opinions

A tax opinion is a formal analysis provided by a tax attorney that assesses the tax implications of a specific transaction or business activity. These opinions are invaluable for both individuals and businesses as they provide clarity on the tax treatment of certain actions, help mitigate risks, and ensure compliance with state and federal tax laws. Tax opinions also offer protection in case of audits or disputes, serving as a defense if the IRS or state tax authorities challenge a particular position.

At The Harris Law Firm, we provide authoritative tax opinions across a wide range of matters, ensuring that our clients can make informed decisions and protect their interests.

Our Tax Opinion Services

We offer comprehensive tax opinion services that address the diverse needs of businesses and individuals. Our services include:

Tax Planning Strategy Opinions

Effective tax planning requires a deep understanding of tax law, especially when implementing strategies to minimize tax liability. Our firm provides detailed opinions on a variety of tax planning strategies, ensuring they are both compliant and beneficial. These opinions cover:

Tax-Efficient Structuring of Transactions: We help businesses structure transactions to achieve the most tax-efficient outcomes while remaining compliant with state and federal tax codes.
Entity Formation and Structuring: Whether you are forming a new business entity or restructuring an existing one, we offer opinions on how different structures will impact your tax obligations.
Wealth Transfer and Estate Planning: For individuals and families looking to preserve wealth and minimize estate taxes, we provide informed opinions on the best strategies for transferring assets.

Transaction Structuring

Complex transactions like joint ventures can trigger significant tax consequences. The Harris Law Firm provides tax opinions to ensure that these transactions are structured in a way that mitigates tax risks and maximizes benefits. Our opinions cover:

Tax-Free Reorganizations: We assess whether a transaction qualifies for tax-free treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, helping clients avoid unnecessary tax liabilities.
Capital Gains and Losses: We provide guidance on how to best manage capital gains and losses arising from significant transactions, ensuring compliance while minimizing tax exposure.
Asset vs. Stock Purchases: For businesses involved in the stock market, we offer opinions on the tax implications of asset purchases versus stock purchases.

Compliance Opinions

Staying compliant with tax laws is essential to avoiding audits and penalties. Our compliance opinions provide clarity on the proper interpretation and application of complex tax laws, helping clients avoid costly mistakes. We offer opinions on:

Frivolous or Fraudulent Filing Penalties: We advise on the correct filing positions to avoid penalties for frivolous or fraudulent returns, ensuring that tax positions are well-founded and defensible.
Reporting Obligations for Foreign Assets: Our attorneys provide opinions on compliance with foreign reporting requirements, such as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), and can refer these types of cases to trusted law firms when necessary.
Deductibility of Business Expenses: We offer opinions on the deductibility of certain expenses, ensuring that clients maximize legitimate deductions without triggering scrutiny from tax authorities.

Research and Confirmation of Defined Positions Under the Current Tax Code

When tax law is unclear, it’s crucial to research and confirm specific tax positions before proceeding with a transaction or filing. At The Harris Law Firm, we offer research-backed opinions that provide clear, reliable guidance on tax positions under the current tax code. We help our clients:

Verify Tax Deductions and Credits: We assess the validity of tax deductions and credits, ensuring they comply with the law and are likely to withstand an audit.
Interpret Ambiguous Tax Provisions: Our attorneys offer clarity on ambiguous tax provisions, ensuring that businesses and individuals understand their obligations and rights under the tax code.
Ensure Compliance With IRS Guidelines: We provide opinions that verify compliance with IRS guidelines, reducing the risk of audits or penalties.

Verification of Legitimacy of Business Actions for Tax Purposes

In certain cases, tax authorities may scrutinize business activities to determine whether they serve a legitimate business purpose or are designed primarily to avoid taxes. Our firm provides opinions that confirm the legitimacy of business actions, protecting our clients from adverse tax determinations. We evaluate:

Business Reorganizations and Spin-Offs: We offer opinions on whether reorganizations and spin-offs meet the necessary criteria for tax deferral or favorable tax treatment.
Business Expense Deductions: Our attorneys verify that business expense deductions comply with the tax code and serve a legitimate business purpose, ensuring that clients can confidently claim these deductions.

I would 100% utilize their services again
“In early 2025 I found myself in a situation where I needed a competent and experienced tax attorney. Having had no prior experience in this area, I turned to google to do some research. Harris Law Firm came up as one of the top firms in the area. I narrowed my prospect list down to three local firms and set up a consultation call with each, to see who I felt could best serve and support my needs. Without a doubt, the initial conversation I had with Steve Cizik at Harris Law far exceeded the other consultations. I hired Steve within 48 hours and never looked back. Steve and his paralegal Jacqueline Sexson have been so easy to work with. They are incredibly knowledgeable and informative. They entertained all of my questions, and I had a lot! They explained in great detail what the process would look like and set my expectations appropriately. They were timely, thorough and detailed in their correspondence with me and always interacted in a way that gave me great confidence (and hope) in their ability to get an outcome we would all be happy with. That outcome came on January 23, 2026 and it couldn't have been any better. To say I am relieved is an understatement. I would 100% utilize their services again, although I'm hoping I never need to! And I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs an expert in navigating tax issues. I'm beyond grateful! Thank You Steve + Jackie”

They were sensitive, responsive and available when I needed them.
“I hired Carolyn and Steve to help me with issues surrounding a contract relating to the sale of some real estate, after we had a death in our family. This situation was uniquely complicated and very time sensitive. I could not have imagined having a better experience than the one I had with the team at Harris Law Firm. They handled the matter professionally and with the urgency it required and made it extremely easy to work with them. They were sensitive, responsive and available when I needed them. The outcome we were able to obtain was the best possible outcome that could have happened for all parties involved and it saved me and my family a lot of money. Carolyn’s work was with me directly and she was able to executed the document I requested from her very quickly for me. Steve had to communicate with third parties on my behalf and everyone who interacted with him through this process ranted and raved about how great it was to work with him. I have already had my realtors brokerage reach out to request the information for the attorneys we used at Harris Law Firm, because they were impressed. I would recommend them to anyone and I will reach out to them again if I am in need of their services in the future. 10/10.”

I worked with three previous firms before I found Steve and Victoria
“I highly recommend Harris Law Firm, Victoria Mall and Steve Cizik. The service quality was truly exceptional. I worked with three previous firms before I found Steve and Victoria. They were very professional, patient with my concerns and tax issues. Heaven could not have sent me a better Team. Dealing with the IRS can very stressful, but Victoria Mall and Steve Cizik have been a pleasure to work with. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart!!!”
