Tax Attorneys in San Francisco, California

Every tax attorney and tax lawyer listing on this page traces back to the State Bar of California's official roll, filtered to tax matters in San Francisco. Verification describes profile identity, not quality or outcomes.

One date controls everything that follows: the IRS generally has three years from filing to assess additional tax; the FTB has four (Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code § 19057), per 26 U.S.C. § 6501. Substantial omissions double the federal window to six years (26 U.S.C. § 6501(e)); no return or fraud means no limit. A Tax Court petition must follow a notice of deficiency within 90 days (26 U.S.C. § 6213). Read the record below with that clock in mind.

Reading the roster in San Francisco. Tax controversy is a paper-and-deadline practice: bring every notice, with dates, to a first consultation, because appeal windows (90 days for Tax Court, 60 for an FTB protest) drive everything. Look for attorneys who practice before the IRS, FTB, EDD, and CDTFA regularly, ask whether your matter is an audit defense, a collection resolution, or litigation, and confirm who (attorney, CPA, or enrolled agent) will handle each stage. Attorney-client privilege is a genuine differentiator when fraud exposure is possible.
