A tax attorney is a legal professional who specializes in tax law and provides advice and representation to individuals and businesses facing tax-related issues.

Tax attorneys can assist clients with a wide range of tax matters, such as tax planning, compliance with tax laws and regulations, negotiating with tax authorities, and representing clients in tax litigation or disputes. Tax attorneys can also advise clients on the tax implications of business transactions, estate planning, and other financial matters.

Tax attorneys are often employed by law firms, accounting firms, or other organizations, or may work as independent consultants. To become a tax attorney, individuals typically need to obtain a law degree, pass the bar exam, and specialize in tax law through additional training and certification.
