Notices, audits, back taxes, and collections. You sign one power of attorney; the IRS talks to us from then on. Flat fees, straight answers, and no radio-ad promises.
IRS notices. CP2000 underreporter notices, math-error adjustments, balance-due letters, and the rest of the alphabet soup — each has a deadline and a correct response, and panic is not one of them.
Audits & examinations. Correspondence audits and field exams, from organizing substantiation to dealing with the examiner directly so you never sit across the table alone.
Back taxes & unfiled returns. Multiple unfiled years are a solvable problem with a right order of operations: transcripts first, returns filed clean, then resolution of the balance — before the IRS files a substitute return for you at the worst possible numbers.
Collections: liens, levies & garnishments. Installment agreements you can actually sustain, currently-not-collectible status where warranted, offers in compromise where the math genuinely supports one — and straight talk when it doesn't.
Penalty abatement. First-time abatement and reasonable-cause relief are real and regularly left on the table. If the facts support removal, we ask for it — in writing, with documentation.
You sign IRS Form 2848 (power of attorney) electronically. From that point the IRS talks to us: we pull your transcripts, see exactly what the IRS sees, and handle calls and correspondence while you get on with your life. Documents move through a secure portal; updates come from the CPA handling your case — because there is exactly one person handling your case.
Federal representation is federal. A Maryland CPA license authorizes practice before the IRS in every state, and our clients are anywhere the mail reaches. State problems travel with federal ones more often than not — Maryland matters are handled through our Comptroller practice, and other states as part of the engagement.
The radio ads promising to settle your debt for pennies are lead-generation businesses: they sell your case to whoever pays most, quote fees as a percentage of your debt, and staff your file with whoever is available. Here, the person who answers the phone is the licensed practitioner who signs the power of attorney — and if your situation can be fixed with one phone call you can make yourself, we'll tell you that for free.
Do I need a CPA in my own state for an IRS problem?
No — federal representation is federal. Under Circular 230, a licensed CPA can represent taxpayers before the IRS in all 50 states. We represent clients nationwide, entirely virtually.
Will I have to talk to the IRS myself?
No. With a signed Form 2848 power of attorney, we handle the calls, correspondence, and document submission on your behalf.
What does it cost?
A flat fee quoted in writing after we review your notice and transcripts — no hourly meter, no percentage-of-debt pricing.
Is 'settling for pennies on the dollar' real?
Offers in compromise exist, but qualification is a math test on your assets and income, not a negotiation trick. We'll tell you honestly whether the math works before you spend a dollar pursuing one.
Whatever the IRS sent you, don't answer it alone — send it over and we'll tell you what it means and what it costs to fix.
