As an Enrolled Agent, I am fully capable of providing tax advice as it relates to personal and business income taxes. Enrolled Agents are the only Federally licensed tax practitioners and are admitted to practice before all administrative functions of the IRS. My specialty is working with small business owners who file Schedule "C" and helping them to structure their business in such a way as to maximize as many tax advantages as possible. I also enjoy working with individuals who have both routine as well as complex tax situations. Members of the National Association of Enrolled Agents must complete a minimum of 90 hours of Continuing Professional Education in Taxation every three years. This puts us at a tremendous advantage when it comes to providing outstanding and up-to-date tax planning and advice. Although I am licensed to handle and do, in fact, work with Non-Profit Organization compliance (Form 990 series), Trust/Fiduciary Returns, and Estate & Gift Tax Returns, I prefer to concentrate on individuals and small business tax planning. | |

I was a former Manager with Price Waterhouse, now PricewaterhouseCoopers, the largest accounting firm in the world. I have had clients in almost every industry and of every size. I will only answer questions dealing with IRS problems such as delinquent tax returns, Offers in Compromise (Tax Settlement), IRS collection matters including installment agreements, liens, levies, seizures, audits, appeals, innocent spouse claims and injured spouse claims. All others will be rejected as "outside my expertise". Visit http://www.irsos.com for information on IRS problems. | |
