Our Tax Representation Process

At Denver Accountant, we follow a systematic approach to tax representation:

1. Initial Consultation and Case Evaluation

We begin with a thorough consultation to understand your tax issue, review relevant documents, and assess your situation. This evaluation helps us develop an effective representation strategy tailored to your specific circumstances.

2. Power of Attorney Filing

We prepare and file Form 2848 (Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative) with the IRS, authorizing us to represent you and communicate with tax authorities on your behalf. This step often provides immediate relief by redirecting IRS communications to our office.

3. Case Research and Preparation

We conduct comprehensive research on your tax issue, gather and organize necessary documentation, and prepare a strong case to support your position. This preparation is crucial for effective representation and favorable outcomes.

4. Communication and Negotiation

We handle all communications with tax authorities, present your case effectively, respond to inquiries, and negotiate on your behalf. Our professional approach and expertise often lead to more favorable treatment and outcomes.

5. Resolution and Implementation

Once we reach a resolution, we help you understand the terms, fulfill any requirements, and implement the agreement. We ensure that the resolution is properly documented and that tax authorities honor the terms.

6. Follow-up and Compliance

We provide guidance on maintaining future compliance to prevent recurrence of tax issues. This proactive approach helps you avoid similar problems in the future and maintain a good standing with tax authorities.

Benefits of Professional Tax Representation

Expert Knowledge and Experience

Tax procedures, regulations, and options can be extremely complex. Our professional representatives have the specialized knowledge and experience to navigate these complexities effectively, identifying opportunities and avoiding pitfalls that might not be apparent to non-specialists.

Reduced Stress and Anxiety

Having a professional handle your tax matter significantly reduces the stress and anxiety associated with tax disputes. You can focus on your business or personal life while we manage the technical aspects of your case.

Protection of Your Rights

Taxpayers have important rights in tax proceedings, but these rights must be actively asserted. Our representatives ensure that tax authorities respect your rights throughout the process, preventing overreaching or procedural violations.

Strategic Advocacy

We develop and implement strategic approaches to your tax matter, presenting your case in the most favorable light and advocating for optimal outcomes. This strategic advocacy often results in better resolutions than taxpayers could achieve on their own.

Efficient Resolution

Professional representation typically leads to more efficient resolution of tax matters. We understand the procedures, know what documentation is needed, and can navigate the system effectively, saving time and avoiding unnecessary delays.

Potential Financial Savings

Effective representation often results in significant financial savings through reduced assessments, abated penalties, favorable payment terms, or settlement agreements. These savings frequently exceed the cost of representation.
