Tiffany’s practice focus combines her experience and background in corporate and business issues and taxation in a wide variety of situations. She counsels individuals on various aspects of federal and state income taxation, including planning and representation in dispute resolution with the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities. Ms. Burton provides tax advice to businesses and focuses on the unique issues involved with closely held corporations, S corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, and non-profit entities.
