Why the prices are not directly comparable

A law firm's tax and legal representation may include attorney advice, representation rights, and responsibilities under an engagement agreement. Atamatax's Streamlined service prepares a filing package with the taxpayer; it does not provide legal advice, attorney representation, or promise an EA/CPA sign-off. The taxpayer certifies non-willfulness on Form 14653, signs, and files. Confirm deliverables, professional involvement, filing responsibility, and any post-filing support in writing before choosing either service.

Who may consider Atamatax?

The current Streamlined preparation scope may be relevant if you live outside the United States, have delinquent US returns or FBARs, and want a scoped preparation package. Investor includes foreign brokerage account and PFIC work, including Forms 8621, and FATCA/Form 8938 where applicable. A diagnostic can map likely forms and missing documents, but it does not decide eligibility or non-willfulness.

When you may need an attorney

Consider speaking with a qualified tax attorney before choosing a preparation workflow if you are concerned that past noncompliance may have been willful, are under criminal investigation or an active examination, face a serious legal dispute, or want attorney-client legal advice or IRS representation. The IRS says taxpayers concerned about willful conduct should consult professional or legal advisers. This page does not assess your facts.
