The benefits of our local service

You need to solve your IRS problems but you don’t know where to go for help.  There are national firms advertising aggressively but you’re not sure if you can trust them because you can’t meet the person who will be representing you before the IRS.  You don’t even know who will be working on your case or whether or not they are qualified to help you.  It seems like everybody is out to cheat you and/or sell you something you don't need.  Where do you turn?  Our local service was formed with you in mind.  We are different from our competitors is many ways.  If you reside in Virginia, Maryland, or D.C., you can actually meet with us at our offices.  In this way, we can provide local and personal service to our clients.  Since our offices are located in the Washington D.C. metro area, we can and often meet with IRS Revenue Agents and Revenue Officers face-to-face when we represent our clients.  If you work with a national firm located in another state, for example, they must rely on mail, fax, or telephone correspondence when dealing with the IRS.  Although there is nothing wrong with this, I can tell you from experience that there is no substitute for face-to-face interactions and personal, local service.

How to select a tax professional to represent you

There seems to be some confusion in the marketplace regarding how to select a tax professional.  Although I write about this topic in greater detail in my free book, I am going to provide a few tips here as they relate to tax controversies.

• You want to ensure that the tax professional you select is licensed to practice before the IRS.  Generally speaking, CPAs, attorneys, and enrolled agents have the ability to do so.  Simply because an individual is licensed to practice before the IRS, does not necessarily mean that they have the requisite knowledge and experience to effectively do so.  Even among tax professionals, relatively few tax professionals specialize in IRS practice & procedures and tax controversies.
• It matters little if the tax professional is a CPA versus attorney versus an Enrolled Agent.  These three groups generally have the same abilities when practicing before the IRS.  What really matters is if they have the specialized skills to be effective.  As an example, an enrolled agent who specializes in this area and has several years of experience might be more effective in representing you than an attorney who is fairly new to this practice area.  In this way, experience and specialized education are more important than their formal educational background (EA versus CPA versus attorney, etc.)
• It is important to work with someone who specializes in taxation.  Some CPAs specialize in taxation and possess a Master’s In Taxation.  Some attorneys also specialize in the same way and possess an LLM in Taxation (Master of Laws).  Not all CPAs and attorneys specialize in working with the tax law, day-in and day-out.  Tax professionals who specialize in IRS problem resolution may also be members of the American Society of Tax Problem Solvers, a national, not-for-profit organization of Attorneys, CPA's, and Enrolled Agents specializing in representing taxpayers before the IRS.
• A tax professional that has the perspective and experience from having prepared tax returns and from representing taxpayers before the IRS can be very effective.  Let me explain.  Some tax professionals only prepare tax returns.  Some tax professionals only deal with the IRS.  A tax professional that has experience in both areas has unique perspective.
