Firm Overview

Thomas F. DiLullo & Associates, P.C. has been solving tax problems for high-net-worth individuals and businesses since 1984. Over four decades, we've built our reputation one successful case at a time, turning tax nightmares into victories for our clients.

​

How We Started

Thomas F. DiLullo founded this firm with a straightforward philosophy: treat every client's tax problem like it's your own. No corporate speak, no empty promises—just relentless advocacy for people facing serious tax troubles.

 

Why We're Different

Most tax attorneys are just attorneys. Thomas F. DiLullo is both a CPA and a tax lawyer—a combination you won't find at many firms. This dual background means we understand the numbers behind your tax situation and the law that governs it. We see angles other lawyers miss because we speak both languages fluently.

DiLullo's credentials include:

• LL.M. in Tax Law from NYU

• J.D. and MBA in taxation

• Over 35 years handling federal and state tax cases

• CPA license with deep accounting expertise

This isn't just resume padding. These qualifications translate into real advantages when we're fighting for you.

 

Our Method

We've developed our approach through thousands of cases. Here's what works:

 

1. Know the Numbers: Before we argue law, we master your financial situation. Tax cases live or die on facts, and we dig deeper than anyone else.

2. ​Understand the System: We know how the IRS thinks, how they build cases, and where they're vulnerable. This knowledge comes from years of experience, not textbooks.​

3. Fight Smart: Every case gets our full attention. We don't take shortcuts or use cookie-cutter strategies. Your situation is unique, and our approach reflects that.​

4. Get Results We measure success by outcomes, not billable hours. Our clients walk away with their problems solved, not just managed.

​

What We Handle

 

Our practice covers the full spectrum of tax problems:

• IRS Collections: Stop wage garnishments, release bank levies, remove tax liens

• Offers in Compromise: Settle your tax debt for less than you owe

• Audit Defense: Represent you through IRS and state tax audits

• Business Tax Issues: Resolve payroll tax problems and corporate disputes

• Tax Court: Litigate your case when negotiation isn't enough

The Relationship Advantage

After decades in this business, we know the players. We've worked with IRS agents, appeals officers, and collection personnel across multiple districts. These relationships matter when we're negotiating your settlement or trying to resolve your case without litigation.

 

We know which arguments work with which agents. We understand the unwritten rules that govern how cases really get decided. This insider knowledge often makes the difference between a good outcome and a great one.
