All residents and U.S. citizens are subject to the federal income tax, pursuant to the Income Tax Act passed in 1913 and the subsequent ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. All federal tax laws are codified in the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and can be found in U.S.C. Title 26. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) oversees, controls, and, among other things, enforces federal tax law.
Though all income-earning residents and citizens are subject to federal income taxes, not all must file federal tax returns. There are income limits and other special qualifications that may not require filing. In addition to federal income taxes, most states maintain an income tax system, but the rules and regulations vary. Several states do not have income taxes.
Corporations must also file income tax returns. They are subject to the same federal and state rules that individual taxpayers face. Corporate taxes, however, involve an additional layer of intricate rules and regulations.

There is often the question of whether a tax professional can do the same thing a tax attorney does. They cannot. Tax attorneys offer more benefits and more thorough representation and guidance than what a certified public accountant (CPA) or an enrolled agent (EA) can provide.
CPAs and EAs provide expertise in accounting and tax preparation. They have training that allows them to prepare taxes and provide financial planning. Tax attorneys do the same but also:
The main drawback of a tax attorney is the potential for higher costs. Tax attorneys generally charge higher fees than CPAs and EAs due to their specialized legal expertise and experience, which in itself is the critical insight that alone will benefit a client.
On the other hand, the drawbacks of using a CPA or EA in lieu of a tax attorney are many. For example, a CPA or EA will not have the same extensive training in tax legal matters. They also will not be able to provide legal advice on complex tax issues. Further, they are limited in their ability to represent a client if the IRS or another tax entity disputes a tax matter.
In the end, the choice of a tax professional depends on the specific needs of the client. For proactive or complex legal tax matters, a tax attorney may be the best choice.
Taxes cannot be avoided. It is best to have a tax plan in place. If an issue arises, an immediate, comprehensive response is preferable.
