Don’t give up your right to learn about your options and understand what you might be facing regarding a tax matter.

• You are beginning a new business. The type of structure you choose for your company can affect how you pay personal income taxes. A tax lawyer can review the pros and cons of the various business entities to help you choose a business structure that is right for you.
• The taxable value of your probate estate may exceed the exclusions for estate taxes. You may need to work with our attorneys to develop an estate plan that minimizes or eliminates estate taxes and gift taxes.
• You are purchasing or selling a business. The terms of sale can create personal income liability if you are not cautious. A Nevada tax attorney reviews the sale agreement to ensure that the transfer does not contain terms that can increase your costs or liability.
