About IRS Representation
What is the difference between you and a "tax attorney columbia mo?"
We are licensed Enrolled Agents or CPAs with unlimited rights to practice before the IRS. While an attorney can offer legal advice on criminal matters, we provide the same high level of representation and negotiation for all civil tax matters, often at a more focused rate.
Should I respond to the IRS letter myself?
No. Any statement you make to the IRS can be used against you. Contact us immediately before responding. We will handle all communication to ensure your rights are protected.
Can you help if my taxes haven't been filed in years?
Yes. One of the first steps in resolution is bringing you into compliance by preparing and filing all delinquent returns. We can often minimize failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties in the process.
Will the IRS stop their collection efforts once you start representing me?
Yes. Once we file the required Power of Attorney (Form 2848), the IRS is legally required to deal only with us. This effectively stops the collection attempts against you personally.
How much does IRS representation cost?
The cost depends on the complexity (e.g., Audit vs. Offer in Compromise). We offer a free consultation to analyze your specific case and provide a clear, upfront fee quote before any work begins.

The IRS audited my business expenses, and I was terrified. Squires took over immediately, handled every request, and got the audit closed with no change to my taxes. Their expertise is worth every penny.
