Which is more lucrative? Which is "better"? I’m just looking for any information really.
They are both insane and neither one is better than the other. All tax laws except sales tax should be banned and sueing somebody, I think, is morally wrong. Think about what the government is taking from you when they pass a tax law and what ipmact it has on you. Anyone who sues is just someone who has had an attitude problem and have nothing better to do.
Hope it helps.
Mail this post are audits public information if the audit was performed on an individual tax payer? If the individual tax payer owns their own business but has no federal EIN # does that make a difference?
26 USC section 6110 makes it a crime for the IRS to disclose confidential matters about an individual. They do have the right to gather third party information, but results of audits are completely confidential on the IRS part unless a) the audit is of a public company that has to disclose the material on its financial statement, in which case it’s the corporation making the disclosure, b) the audit becomes a tax court case, in which case it is a matter of public record (http://www.ustaxcourt.gov) or c) the IRS files a notice of federal tax lien with the county recorder or serves a levy on someone that owes the audited person money. That’s it. In the typical audit, the only people who learn of it are the ones the taxpayer tells.

Based in Naperville and servicing Chicago and northern Illinois, the Gierach Law Firm has helped hundreds of clients with their business and personal legal matters, from business formation and tax planning to commercial real estate to business succession planning and estate planning.
We are a boutique law firm with a highly specialized practice geared toward businesses and business people. We receive many referrals from past and present clients, as well as other lawyers because of our experience, knowledge, and personal service.
Our Experience and Knowledge
We have been assisting clients for over 30 years. Attorney Denice A. Gierach earned her J.D. at the IIT/Chicago Kent College of Law and has practiced before the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, the U.S. Tax Court, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, as well as in Illinois state court. Many of you may know her from her monthly newspaper column in the Naperville Sun or Aurora Beacon discussing aspects of business, tax, and estate planning law.
An experienced negotiator and business litigator, Ms. Gierach is also a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and has a Masters Degree in Management from Illinois’ prestigious Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
Our business clients appreciate the fact that Ms. Gierach understands accounting principles, financial statements, and tax implications, and she knows how to present these issues to a judge or jury in the event of a dispute. It was in this appreciation that the Business Ledger, a newspaper dedicated to the Chicago area, named Denice Gierach one of the “Influential Women in Business” for 2008.
In addition, many clients rely upon Ms. Gierach’s experience and knowledge to counsel them in preventative law, i.e., how to avoid costly litigation. They also appreciate her ability to see the big picture and the client’s bottom line when advising and representing them in business disputes.
Our Personal Client Services
We attribute much of our success to our understanding that we are in a service industry. We take the time to listen to you, understand your business or legal situation, and your concerns. Then we analyze the legal matters and issues and provide you with options, as well as an explanation of the benefits and detriments of each option at a personal and business level.
You also will appreciate our proactive communications regarding any business dispute or new laws that may affect you or your business. If you are involved in a business litigation matter, we will keep you informed of any changes to the status of your case or any settlement offers.
In addition, when you retain our firm, you will get the services of our founding partner, Denice Gierach—an attorney with over 30 years of experience, who also has a CPA and a Master’s in Management—as opposed to an inexperienced associate.

Planning Your Estate
A primary purpose of estate planning is to distribute your assets according to your wishes after your death. Successful estate planning transfers your assets to your beneficiaries quickly and usually with minimal tax consequences. The process of estate planning includes inventorying your assets and making a will and/or establishing a trust, often with an emphasis on minimizing taxes.
Adding up the value of your assets can be an eye-opening experience. By the time you account for your home, investments, retirement savings and life insurance policies you own, you may find your estate in the taxable category.
Take a fresh look at your estate plan if:
•The value of your assets changes significantly.
•You marry, divorce or remarry.
•You have a child.
•You move to a different state.
•The executor of your will or the administrator of your trust dies or becomes incapacitated, or your relationship with that person changes significantly.
•One of your heirs dies or has a permanent change in health.
•The laws affecting your estate change.
Health Care Directives
In Minnesota the generally known concept of a “Living Will” is defined by statute as a Health Care Directive. The Health Care Directive is an integral component of any estate plan and is utilized primarily to give direction to the doctor or other care-giver providing treatment in the final stages of life; however it can also be used to ease the transition of your estate to your beneficiaries.
