An Enrolled Agent is a federally-licensed tax practitioner who has earned the privilege of representing taxpayers before the IRS. Unlike CPAs and attorneys who may have broader practices, Enrolled Agents specialize exclusively in taxation and IRS matters. Many taxpayers find our specialized focus and typically lower fees (compared to tax attorneys) make us the ideal choice for IRS tax resolution matters.
Our fees are customized based on your specific situation and are generally less expensive than those of tax law firms. In our experience, we typically save taxpayers several times what they pay us in reduced tax liability and avoided penalties. We offer a free initial consultation where we can discuss your situation and provide more specific pricing information. Contact us at 804-359-5221 to learn more.
If your tax liability is under $25,000, the IRS has streamlined payment programs available that you can likely handle directly without professional assistance at no cost. However, if your situation is complex, involves payroll taxes, or you’re facing aggressive collection actions, we’re happy to evaluate whether our services would benefit you during a free consultation.
The timeline varies significantly based on your specific situation, the complexity of your case, and current IRS processing times. Simple installment agreements can be arranged relatively quickly, while more complex negotiations, appeals, or Offers in Compromise can take several months to over a year. During your free consultation, we can provide a more realistic timeline based on your circumstances.
Yes. As soon as you sign an IRS Power of Attorney form (and the IRS processes the IRS Power of Attorney), the IRS is required to deal directly with us instead of you. This immediately relieves the pressure and stress of IRS communications. We handle all correspondence, phone calls, and negotiations on your behalf, speaking the IRS’s language and protecting your interests throughout the process.
Absolutely! We’re designed to complement your existing tax professional relationship, not replace it. Our business model focuses exclusively on tax liability resolution, allowing us to handle the time-consuming IRS negotiation process while your CPA or tax preparer continues handling your ongoing tax preparation needs. Many tax professionals refer clients to us because IRS negotiations aren’t their daily focus, and we can achieve better results while saving their clients time and money.
Bringing your past tax filings up-to-date is often an important part of the resolution strategy. Filing back returns demonstrates good faith to the IRS and can actually create negotiating leverage. We can work with your tax professional to get you current or we can take care of preparing the unfiled tax returns ourselves. In many cases, getting current can lead to more favorable settlement terms.
