Sheppard Law Offices Represents Clients in IRS Tax Case

Sept. 7, 2011 - PRLog -- In an important case involving the IRS, tax attorneys at the Ohio Sheppard Law Offices have successfully negotiated settlements for several clients facing significant IRS penalties and interests. These settlements resulted in 75 percent reductions in monies owed to the IRS by individual clients who had invested large sums in a company called Mid-Con Oil, which later turned out to be a fraudulent investment scheme. The investors were audited by the IRS for their involvement in the company when Mid-Con Oil and its owner came under the scrutiny of the federal government for illegal activities. The clients in the case had received significant deductions on their investors’ tax returns for their investments in intangible drilling expenses. The tax returns were prepared for the investors by Mid-Con Oil in return for their investment funds. As a result of the legal counsel provided by Sheppard Law Offices no formal court action was ever brought against the investor-clients. The reduced settlements represent a major win for both the clients and the firm.
