Santa Ana Tax Laws
There are specific tax regulations for the state of California. Many people who move here from another state do not realize the impact those regulations can have on their personal and business taxes. For example, The Sales And Use Tax is one that small business owners can overlook that can add up to a large debt. The sales and use tax rate in a specific California location has three parts: the state tax rate, the local tax rate, and any district tax rate that may be in effect.
In Los Angeles, the local and district tax rates can be found here. But these rates do change, so if you’ve got unpaid taxes, be sure to contact us to know what your rates are. They may vary from what is currently printed on the government website.

Tax Relief Options
There are tax relief programs available if you currently have tax debt. Below are a few programs that might help you. Be sure to contact one of our attorneys to determine if you qualify.
Offer In Compromise
An Offer In Compromise settlement can lower your current debt if you’re unable to afford to pay it back. If you qualify, we negotiate on your behalf to establish a settlement, often reducing the overall tax debt by 90 to 99 percent.
Lien/Levy/Wage Garnishment Removal
You should never ignore a lien or levy against you. The consequences of ignoring this can include seizure of assets, bank account closures and inability to borrow money for necessary expenses such as buying new car, which could lead into much more serious problems.
Installment Agreements
An IRS installment agreement is an option to help you pay your taxes over time. To determine if it’s right for you, complete the personal and business financial statements necessary with one of our specialists. We have knowledge of all aspects of this process and ensure that we present only what will be most beneficial towards our clients.
Currently Not Collectible (CNC) Status
If you find yourself in a tax collection situation with the IRS and are unable to pay, CNC status may be an option. This special designation prevents them from taking any action against your account until they can resume collecting under another strategy or when circumstances change.
Innocent Spouse
The innocent spouse may be able to seek relief if they can prove that they did not participate in or know anything about the fraudulent filing of their joint tax return. There are a few steps to discuss before determining if you will qualify for this special program. Contact us to discuss your situation.
