About Jeffrey Anton
Jeffrey Anton Collins built a foundation in tax and law through consecutive degrees and steady study. He earned a Bachelor of Science at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, followed by a J.D. from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 1997. He later pursued an advanced tax degree, completing an LL.M. in Taxation at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law.
His professional path began inside the Internal Revenue Service, where he worked as a tax audit agent beginning in 1993. That early experience gave him firsthand exposure to audit procedures and the mechanics of federal tax administration. He moved into private practice in 2002, operating under his own name, and added accounting credentials by becoming a Certified Public Accountant in 2006. His CPA status in Arkansas is now listed as retired. In 2016 he joined Tax Law Offices - Business Tax Resolution, where he serves as a lawyer handling tax disputes and business tax matters.
Collins is admitted to practice in Illinois and appears in several federal forums. His admitted jurisdictions include the U.S. District Court for the Fourth Circuit, the U.S. District Court for the Seventh Circuit, and the United States Tax Court. He brings experience from both sides of tax controversies: the investigative and compliance side from the IRS and the advocacy side from private practice.
His work centers on tax controversy, audit defense, and business tax resolution. He handles cases that range from audit negotiations to litigation in the Tax Court and federal district courts. He also assists business clients in resolving tax liabilities and structuring settlements that respond to enforcement actions. The practical aim is often clarity and containment—reducing exposure and sorting through intricate tax rules so clients can make informed decisions.
Professionally, Collins has been involved in several trade organizations. He has been a member of the American Bar Association since 2004. He holds a board membership with the National Association of Tax Professionals in Illinois that dates to 2012. More recently he joined the American Society of Tax Problem Solvers in 2021 and continues that membership. His work blends legal training and accounting credentials acquired over decades of practice. He currently practices at Tax Law Offices - Business Tax Resolution, concentrating on business tax resolution, tax controversy, and representation before the United States Tax Court and applicable federal courts.
