Federal Tax Matters & IRS Representation
An IRS notice, unresolved tax balance, unfiled return, or federal tax compliance question can raise concerns for individuals and business owners.
Our firm assists with selected IRS and federal tax matters, including notice review, audit-related questions, tax balances, reporting concerns, and federal tax issues involving businesses or foreign nationals.
Arif A. Syed is a Texas attorney and an IRS Enrolled Agent, authorized to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service.
Federal tax matters include:
IRS notices and response planning
IRS audit-related questions and documentation
Unfiled federal returns and tax balances
Federal tax matters for individuals and businesses
Tax questions involving immigrants, investors, and foreign business owners
Business Formation & Legal Guidance
Starting or operating a U.S. business involves decisions about entity structure, ownership, agreements, and legal responsibilities.
We assist entrepreneurs, business owners, and foreign investors with LLC and corporation formation, operating agreements, partnership agreements, business contracts, and related legal matters.
For foreign owners and investors, business formation may also involve immigration and federal tax considerations that should be evaluated before important decisions are made.
When Immigration, Tax & Business Matters Connect
A legal issue does not always fit neatly into one category. Immigration decisions can raise federal tax questions, while U.S. business investments may involve immigration eligibility, ownership structure, and reporting obligations.
Our firm helps clients identify related legal and federal tax considerations when they are relevant to the matter at hand.
Family Immigration & Financial Sponsorship
Marriage-based green cards and family petitions may involve financial sponsorship requirements, income documentation, and federal tax records.
When a sponsor is self-employed, owns a business, or has complicated financial circumstances, these questions may require additional review.

Investor Visas, Business Formation & Federal Tax
Foreign nationals considering an investment in the United States may need guidance on the E-2 treaty investor visa, U.S. business formation, ownership arrangements, and federal tax obligations.
E-2 eligibility depends on factors including treaty nationality, investment, ownership, business activity, and supporting documentation. Forming a U.S. company does not itself establish visa eligibility.
Our firm assists with selected immigration and business legal questions connected to these decisions and helps identify relevant federal tax considerations.

Moving to the United States & Federal Tax Planning
Moving to the United States, spending significant time in the country, or owning a U.S. business can raise federal tax questions.
Understanding how immigration circumstances, income, business ownership, and federal tax obligations may interact can help families and business owners make more informed decisions.
