  Wolff New York State Tax Consulting

  Mar 2015 - now

  Owner

  As a former trainer and supervisor in all New York State Income Tax audits, my vast knowledge is available to assist you in defending yourself in any criminal or civil audit scenario. I am a consultant for all New York State Income and Withholding Tax audits. By applying my 34+ years of expertise and knowledge as an auditor and as a supervisor of audits, including conducting some of the very first residency audits, there is NO ONE in the consulting field with my experience! I am knowledgeable of the inner workings and direction of New York State's criminal, residency and all other civil audits. I am the only consultant in the field that participated in New York residency audits from the start of the program! As New York State continues to be in dire need of revenue, residency audits will continue to be a top priority for the New York State Income Tax audit program. Now, more than ever, after Covid -19, New York State and City will be looking at high income earners that file Non-resident tax returns. Using my experience, I can not only help to defend you against New York State audit methods, but I will also train you how to talk to the auditors, supervisors and New York State attorneys and the points that you need to stress. At some point, you will need to personally talk to the department and I am in a unique position to guide you through this delicate process. The "Client Interview" can make or break the audit to your favor and there are no other tax advisors that can guide you through the interview as I can. At a combined tax rate of 16%, my experience is more valuable than ever.I have saved clients thousands of dollars in New York State taxes, interest and penalties. I am also available for planning your change of residency from New York State and New York City. Pre-planning in this area is of high importance and can not be looked at lightly. One misstep in planning your non-residency from New York can change years of financial planning. Contact me today. Show less
