If you don't know which category your problem fits into, that's fine. Start with the notice you've received and what is happening now.
How I work
I don't start with the name of an IRS program. For IRS resolution work, I start with the account. I want to know what the IRS records show, which tax periods are involved, what has already happened, and what notices have been sent.
Then I compare that with the returns, records, and financial information that matter to the case. Only then do I want to talk about the options.
Understand the facts first, then decide what the facts support. See how my process works
Who handles your case
I do. I personally work on every case I accept.
If a matter calls for another specialist, I bring that person in for that particular issue rather than pretending one person knows everything. You still work with me on your case.
What my credentials mean
Enrolled Agent. I've been an Enrolled Agent since April 2012. Enrolled Agents are licensed by the IRS and have unlimited representation rights before the IRS. That means they may represent taxpayers in examinations, collection matters, Appeals, and other federal tax matters.
NTPI Fellow. I completed the National Tax Practice Institute program through the National Association of Enrolled Agents. NTPI is a three-level program focused on taxpayer representation before the IRS. Completing all three levels is required to earn the NTPI Fellow designation.
United States Tax Court. I'm admitted to practice before the United States Tax Court as a non-attorney practitioner. That is separate from my Enrolled Agent credential and allows me to represent taxpayers in qualifying matters before the Court. What is a U.S. Tax Court Practitioner?
Where I'm located
My office is at 6040 Main Street, Suite 102, Rockford, Minnesota. I meet with clients in person and by Zoom. On federal tax matters, I represent taxpayers nationwide.
I've worked in taxation since 2003. I'm a Past President of the Minnesota Society of Enrolled Agents and a member of the National Association of Enrolled Agents. I've also written two books about IRS audits, collections, Appeals, notices, and tax problems.
Frequently asked questions
Are you an attorney?
No. I'm an Enrolled Agent, an NTPI Fellow, and admitted to practice before the United States Tax Court as a non-attorney practitioner.
Who will actually work on my case?
I will. I personally work on every case I accept. If a particular issue requires another specialist, I bring that person in for that issue.
Do you work with taxpayers outside Minnesota?
Yes, on federal tax matters. Enrolled Agents have unlimited representation rights before the IRS, which are not limited to the state where their office is located. State tax matters outside Minnesota depend on that state's rules.
Can I meet with you in person?
Yes. My office is in Rockford, Minnesota, and I also meet with clients by Zoom.
Do I need to know what kind of IRS resolution I need before I call?
No. Start with the notice you've received and tell me what's happening. Working out which options actually fit is my job.
Still researching?
I've written two books about IRS audits, collections, Appeals, notices, and tax problems. Both are complimentary.
Have an IRS or Minnesota tax problem?
You don't need to have it figured out before you call. Start with the notices you've received and tell me what's happening. I'll start with the facts.
