IRS representation
IRS representation and tax problem resolution
Behind on filing, under audit, or staring at an IRS notice you don't understand? You don't have to face them alone, or talk to them yourself.
An IRS letter, an audit notice, years of unfiled returns, a balance you can't pay: these problems feel worse in silence, and they rarely improve on their own. As an Enrolled Agent, I'm federally licensed to step in, deal with the IRS directly, and put a plan in place. The first conversation is confidential, and there's no charge to talk it through.
What an Enrolled Agent can do for you
Enrolled Agents have the same unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS as CPAs and tax attorneys: for audits, collections and appeals, in all 50 states. With a signed power of attorney, I can speak to the IRS so you don't have to, pull your transcripts to see exactly what they have, and negotiate on your behalf. You stop taking the calls; I take them.
How I can help
Most tax problems fall into one of these. If yours isn't listed, ask anyway: representation work is rarely one-size-fits-all.
IRS and state audits
Representation from the first notice through resolution. I handle the correspondence, the document requests and the examiner: you don't attend unless you choose to.
Back taxes and unfiled returns
Years behind? We reconstruct the records, file what's missing and get you back into good standing, usually with far less stress (and often less tax) than people fear.
Payment plans
Installment agreements sized to what you can actually afford, set up correctly so they don't default and drag you back into collections.
Offer in Compromise
In the right circumstances the IRS will settle for less than the full balance. I'll tell you whether you're a realistic candidate before you spend a dollar pursuing it.
Penalty relief
Failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties can often be reduced or removed through first-time abatement or reasonable cause. They add up fast, and they're negotiable.
Liens and levies
A wage garnishment, bank levy or property lien is urgent. The sooner we file the power of attorney, the more options we have to stop it or get it lifted.
IRS notices and letters
A CP2000, a balance-due notice, something you don't recognize? Don't call the number on the letter first: let me read it and tell you what it actually means.
Payroll tax (941) problems
Unpaid payroll taxes carry the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty and personal liability. Among the most serious IRS matters, and the most important to address early.
Florida Department of Revenue
Sales-tax audits, reemployment tax and state business-tax notices: representation before the Florida DOR as well as the IRS.
How it works
Step 1: Confidential review
You tell me what's going on: the notice, the years, the worry. No charge, no judgment, no commitment.
Step 2: I get authorized
You sign a power of attorney. From that point the IRS deals with me, and I pull your transcripts to see the full picture.
Step 3: We build the plan
I lay out your real options, with realistic odds and costs, and you decide how to proceed.
Step 4: Resolution
I handle the filings, negotiation and follow-through until the matter is closed and you're back in good standing.
Request a confidential consultation
Tell me a little about your situation and the best way to reach you. This goes straight to me, not a call center, and I'll respond personally, usually within one business day.
