Chad M. Vanderhoef

Chad Vanderhoef helps clients resolve tax disputes with the IRS and state tax authorities, address offshore tax and reporting obligations, and plan cross-border investments, including foreign investment in U.S. real estate. Working from Tampa and Washington, D.C., he handles tax controversy and litigation, international reporting compliance and cross-border tax planning.

When disputes arise, Chad represents clients from IRS examination and appeals through litigation in the U.S. Tax Court and federal district and appellate courts. He also helps clients evaluate IRS tax and reporting remediation options for issues involving Reports of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBARs), international information returns and underreported tax.

On the planning side, he advises on cross-border restructuring matters and foreign investment in U.S. real estate and assists clients in securing tax benefits and maintaining compliance under Puerto Rico's Act 60.

Before joining Holland & Knight, Chad was a tax attorney at a boutique international tax law firm. That background supports an integrated approach, helping clients successfully resolve past compliance issues while structuring future cross-border activity with care.
