US tax law is ever more complicated and even the use of tax software requires the ability to recognize the correct treatment for a particular deduction between parents and children. Sometimes filing a “simple” tax return can be confusing and frustrating. It is too easy to overlook deductions and credits which can cost the average individual tax return thousands in missed refund money. There is no substitute for the assistance of an experienced tax professional.
We are here to help you if the IRS or a state tax authority sends a letter. Sometimes, it is merely a request for additional information. Sometimes the taxing authority made a mistake and we need to respond on your behalf. We are there to help you in case of an inquiry and can fully represent you if there is an examination request (audit). We offer full representation so that our clients do not have to speak to an IRS or state tax agent. Typically, there is a speedy settlement to most matters for greatly reduced amounts owed, if any.
