Why BestTaxPro

When it comes to solving IRS problems, credentials and experience matter.

Enrolled Agent Leadership

Federally licensed to represent you directly before the IRS in every matter — audits, appeals, collections. EA is the highest credential the IRS awards to tax professionals.

U.S. Tax Court Practitioner

Our founder is among fewer than 300 non-attorneys in the country authorized to represent clients in U.S. Tax Court. Cases that escalate stay with the same team.

Alongside Former IRS Personnel & Attorneys

On complex matters we collaborate with former IRS personnel and tax attorneys — inside-the-room procedural knowledge applied to your case when it helps.

Decades of Experience

Deep tax-controversy experience across the matters that matter most — liens, levies, audits, settlement reviews, payroll exposure, and appeals. [VERIFY — Josh: combined-years figure pending.]

Member · The Tax Mob

Credentials Explained

The Authority Behind Your Representation

Three credentials that separate BestTaxPro from typical tax-relief shops.

Enrolled Agent (EA)

Federally licensed by the U.S. Treasury — the highest credential the IRS awards. EAs can represent any taxpayer, for any tax matter, in any state. Earned through rigorous testing and ongoing ethics requirements under Circular 230.

U.S. Tax Court Practitioner (USTCP)

One of fewer than 300 non-attorneys in the country admitted to argue cases before the U.S. Tax Court. If a case escalates to litigation, representation continues seamlessly — no need to hand off to outside counsel.

The Tax Mob

Invitation-only community of leading tax resolution practitioners. Members trade live case intel, IRS procedural updates, and advanced negotiation tactics — giving clients the benefit of a nationwide brain trust on every case.

Together, these three give you a level of authority and insight most firms simply can't match.

What we resolve

Common IRS problems we resolve

Interest and penalties generally continue to accrue until a balance is resolved. Here's how each situation actually works — and how we handle it.

Overwhelming Tax Debt

Owe more than you can pay? Penalties and interest keep compounding. We evaluate settlement, payment plan, and hardship options and recommend the path the IRS is most likely to accept.

IRS Letters & Notices

Certified mail, final notices, intent-to-levy letters. Our first move is to put a licensed representative between you and the IRS so future correspondence comes to us.

Wage Garnishments & Bank Levies

The IRS may already be taking part of your paycheck or freezing accounts. We pursue garnishment and levy releases as a priority once representation is in place.

Tax Liens & Asset Exposure

A federal tax lien damages credit and clouds property. We evaluate releases, withdrawals, discharges, and subordinations when the case supports it.

Unfiled Returns or Audits

Years of unfiled returns or an open audit. We bring you back into compliance and represent you start-to-finish so you never face the IRS alone.

How We Solve Tax Problems

Every Tool Needed to Fix Your Tax Problem

Offer in Compromise

Simple 3-Step Process

From First Call to Resolution

1

Free, Confidential Consultation

Schedule a complimentary 30-minute consultation. We listen, review your situation, answer your questions, and outline tailored options with zero obligation.

2

Immediate Protection & Strategy

We file IRS Power of Attorney so the IRS communicates with us, work to halt collections, pull your transcripts, analyze your finances, and build a written game plan.

3

Resolution & Forward Compliance

We negotiate directly with the IRS to implement the best available solution — settlement, abatement, payment plan, or other relief — and guide you on staying compliant.

Results vary by client and case facts. We do not guarantee specific outcomes. BestTaxPro is a private firm and is not affiliated with the IRS. Tax information on this site is not intended for the purpose of avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code (U.S. Treasury Circular 230).
