Check out our Google 5 Star Reviews.

We can often get penalties and the interest on those penalties waived.  Interest on tax owed cannot be waived so we try to lower the tax owed if possible.

Yes, for a client who hasn’t filed in years we can help.  Jacqueline Burke, EA prepares income tax returns for our firm.  She has been certified as a Fellow of the National Tax Practice Institute as well as an Enrolled Agent with over 25 years of professional tax preparation experience.

Our clients are varied and include accomplished, highly-skilled professionals.  Many are in business for themselves including doctors, dentists, attorneys, and others; and many owe $100,000 or more in back taxes.  They are experts in their fields, but not in tax negotiation. That’s why they come to us.

An Enrolled Agent is a federally licensed tax practitioner who has technical expertise in the field of taxation and is licensed to represent taxpayers for audits, collections and appeals before the Internal Revenue Service and State Departments of Revenue.

Only Enrolled Agents, Attorneys, and Certified Public Accountants may represent taxpayers before the IRS.  However, Enrolled Agents are the only taxpayer representatives who receive their right to practice directly from the federal government.

And Enrolled Agents are the only tax practitioners required by federal law to maintain their Tax Expertise through continuing professional education (CPE).  Enrolled agents like us who are members of the National Association of Enrolled Agents complete additional hours of CPE beyond the federal requirement.

There are many possible routes to resolving tax cases.  It’s like a tree with many branches.   These alternatives include:

• Offers In Compromise
• Protection against levies and garnishments
• Non-filer solutions/income tax preparation
• Audits & Amendments
• Innocent spouse relief
• Uncollectible status/Collection Statutes of Limitation
• Installment agreements
• Discharging taxes in Bankruptcy – It can be done!
• Penalty abatements
• Lien discharge/subordinate/release/withdrawal
• Trust fund recovery defense

We help clients determine the process that best fits their needs and is most likely to be accepted by the IRS.

Costs are determined by the complexity of the case and the length of time needed to resolve it.  Specialized tax services are commensurate in cost with services like those of an attorney or accountant.  The best way to determine an estimate for your case is through a consultation meeting.  To schedule a consultation with us, call 919-846-6385.

Many clients are several years behind on their taxes when they call us.  It can take a year or more to work through the settlement process.  Other cases are resolved quickly.  It all depends on the complexity of the issues.
