Frequently asked questions
Can a Texas-based firm represent me before the IRS?
Yes, for federal IRS matters. Enrolled Agents and CPAs are authorized to practice before the IRS nationwide under Treasury Circular 230.
What do you need from me to start?
Copies of your IRS notices and a signed authorization (Form 2848) so we can speak with the IRS and pull your transcripts.
Will working with a firm in another state slow things down?
No. IRS cases are handled by phone, mail, fax, and IRS online systems, wherever the representative is located.
