State Tax Advice:

Our team at State Tax Law guides clients through complex state and local tax issues, ensuring compliance and optimizing tax benefits. Our services include opinion letters to support tax positions, analysis of filing methods, income calculations, apportionment, and net operating loss utilization. We tailor our advice to each client’s risk profile, helping them balance benefits with risk tolerance. By tracking tax developments nationwide, we proactively identify trends to reduce or eliminate exposure. Additionally, we evaluate major corporate transactions to uncover potential gains or losses that may significantly impact tax liabilities.

State Tax Planning:

Corporate Transactional Analysis

State Tax Law evaluates the state tax implications of corporate acquisitions, dispositions, and integrations to ensure tax efficiency. By aligning transaction steps with federal tax treatments, we identify discrepancies—such as state-level taxation of federally “tax-free” transactions—and address potential risks to minimize tax exposure.

Restructuring Analysis

We help clients design tax-efficient business structures by identifying inefficiencies in filing positions, apportionment, tax attributes, and uncertain tax positions. Our strategic plans streamline operations, eliminate uncertainties, and optimize tax benefits through effective use of filing elections, apportionment methods, and attributes like NOLs and credits.

State Tax Policy:

At State Tax Law, we help clients achieve business goals by addressing legislation, regulations, and guidance. Our advice clarifies laws, resolves exposure, and reduces uncertainty, with tailored tax policy strategies and technical insights.
