Pontius Tax Law, PLLC

John knows DC tax law and how to handle the DC bureaucracy with finesse. He was able to prove we did not owe tax for 4 years. More than we hoped for.

John was very easy to talk to and explain our situation with international assets and bank accounts. He knew exactly what needed to be done in order to file prior year FBARs on our behalf and ensure that we didn't face any penalties for non-filing. John and Bill, his in-house CPA, are a great team and although I hope to never need their services again, I wouldn't hesitate to call them if I do.

I had a foreign bank accounts reporting (FBAR) issue that John and his team was able to provide clear guidance on and ultimately was able to resolve for me in addition to guidance on the incompatibility of US tax law and typical foreign estate planning practices.

John provided an excellent review of my mutual fund earnings which I had incorrectly submitted to the IRS. The result was I owed only 20% of what IRS was claiming. John's work kept my wife and I at ease during a very tense time in dealing with our taxes over several years.

John was instrumental in helping with complex multi year tax return amendments, including foreign income reporting. He was patient and responsive and was diligent in following up with the irs and Maryland to ensure we achieved closure and maximized are legal claims for refunds. He gets my highest praise and endorsement.

As an Independent Contractor I fell behind on my taxes during the tough times, and dug quite a hole for myself. I was referred to John by a mutual attorney friend, and it was the absolute best move I could have made.
First and foremost, John didn't judge. This was personally an embarrassing situation that I had gotten myself into, and John made me feel quite comfortable, caring only as to how to attack my problem, and get it resolved. And he did. Cannot recommend John highly enough.

John Pontius is very professional and approachable. He has given me very sound legal advice regarding my situation. Without a doubt, he has his clients' best interests in mind.

During my career with the government I have been posted to numerous locations around the world. When it was time to sell one of my former homes and rental property in another country, John was there to help me navigate the complex rules regarding foreign bank accounts and reporting requirements to the IRS. I strongly recommend Mr. Pontius to anyone who needs an experienced tax attorney who is trustworthy and dedicated (and with reasonable legal fees).
