Received an IRS Notice? Start with the deadline.
Before you call one of the large advertisers promising pennies on the dollar, talk to a local Enrolled Agent. We start every case by understanding what was received, from which agency, for which years — and when a response is due.
Calm. Direct. On the record.
Harry H. Holmes, EA and the Holmes team have been helping taxpayers resolve IRS debt and compliance problems for many years. As an IRS-authorized Enrolled Agent, Harry is able to represent you directly with the IRS or state agency and work the matter through to resolution.
We won't make guarantees about specific outcomes — no honest tax professional can. What we will do is tell you exactly what your options are, what each one costs, and what to expect at each step.
