WHY AN ENROLLED AGENT?

Licensed by the IRS to stand between you and the IRS.

Enrolled Agents are federally licensed tax professionals with unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS — on audits, collections, and appeals. That means once you sign a power of attorney, the IRS talks to us, not you.

When a case gets stuck, we also know when and how to bring in the Taxpayer Advocate Service.

A note on scope: we represent clients in IRS and state tax matters. EFS is not a CPA firm, so we don’t provide financial-statement audits, reviews, or attestation.

  3. 3Lay out your optionsEasy to understand choices — what each involves, what it costs, and what we recommend.
  4. 4Represent youWe deal with the IRS or state on your behalf and keep you updated until it’s resolved.

Just got a letter? Do this now.

  • Don’t ignore it. Most notices have a response deadline.
  • Don’t panic. Many notices can be resolved with the right response.
  • Keep the envelope and letter together. The notice number (like CP2000 or LT11) tells us a lot.
  • Call us before you call the IRS. We’ll help you understand what you’re walking into.

What we won’t do

  • Promise to settle your debt for “pennies on the dollar.”
  • Guarantee an outcome before we’ve seen your records — no honest firm can.
  • Pressure you into paying before we’ve reviewed your situation.
  • Leave you guessing about where your case stands.

Tax resolution FAQs

Can you talk to the IRS for me?

Do you handle state tax problems too?

Yes. We work with state and local tax agencies as well as the IRS.

What does it cost?

There’s no up-front fee to look at your situation. After we review it, we’ll tell you what the work involves before you decide.

I haven’t filed in a few years. Is it too late?

No. We can help you prepare the missing returns and address any balances, penalties, or notices that come with them.
