Jim Liang

Dealing with the IRS is extremely stressful - having someone like Jim on your side helps remove some of that stress and lets you focus on the facts of your case to get the best resolution possible. Consulting with him on our penalty issue was the turning point where we realized that maybe we could... have a positive outcome and not have to pay such a punitive amount. I would recommend his services without reservation and consider him a true professional and friend.

I called Jim Liang with a desperate tax situation. I discovered that even though I had not lived in Maryland in decades I should have been paying tax on a minimal rental income over those decades. I was going to lose my eligibility for a 1031 exchange on the upcoming sale of my Baltimore rental prope...rty. The determination was going to be made any day and once made it was not appealable. I called Jim because he had a reputation for helping veterans. Jim recognized the urgency of the situation and quickly intervened. His relationship with state officials bought us some time. Jim then went back through all my records and completed tax returns for those years – not an easy task. The result was that even though I had to pay a ton of taxes, they were filed in time for a favorable ruling on my 1031 exchange. The sale was completed with the capital gains deferred. A huge win. All thanks to Jim Liang. The moral of this story is that if you can’t avoid living in the nanny state of Maryland and the failed city of Baltimore, make sure you have attorney/CPA Jim Liang on your speed dial.

I am grateful to Jim Liang for his help with an international tax issue. My case was complicated, it dealt with different countries laws, currencies and languages. He navigated all that to bring me back into compliance with US tax and banking laws. In the initial consultation, he provided an overview... of the process to help me understand the case. He asked all the questions he needed answers to in order to best help me. Jim took his time to thoroughly research the issues and laws to his satisfaction, answered my questions and brought me back into compliance with the relevant laws. Jim also explained how things work going forward. By the completion of his work, Jim proved himself to be a competent tax attorney.
