IRS Audit Defense & Examination Representation
We help organize supporting records, respond to IRS requests, explain positions taken on the return, and represent taxpayers during the examination process.
Back Taxes & Unfiled Returns
Resolution usually starts with filing compliance. We help identify missing years, prepare overdue returns, reconstruct available records, and establish a current filing record.
Installment Agreements & Payment Plans
If full payment is not realistic, we can evaluate installment agreement options based on the amount owed, filing compliance, financial information, and IRS requirements.
Offer in Compromise
An Offer in Compromise may allow a qualifying taxpayer to settle for less than the full amount owed. Qualification depends on financial facts and IRS standards.
Penalty Abatement
Depending on compliance history and facts, taxpayers may qualify for first-time abatement or reasonable-cause relief.
Tax Liens, Levies & Wage Garnishment
Collection actions can affect bank accounts, wages, and property rights. We review account status, filing compliance, deadlines, and available resolution options.
Innocent Spouse Relief
When a joint tax liability relates to a spouse or former spouse, IRS relief may be available in certain circumstances.
IRS Notices & Correspondence
We review what the IRS is asking for, the tax period involved, the deadline, and whether the issue is informational, examination-related, or collection-related.
Have an IRS Letter in Front of You?

Frequently Asked Questions About IRS Representation
Expand the questions below to understand how representation and tax resolution typically work.
What can an Enrolled Agent do when I have an IRS problem?
An Enrolled Agent is federally licensed to represent taxpayers before the IRS. That can include communicating with the IRS, responding to notices, assisting with audits, resolving unfiled returns, requesting payment arrangements, and addressing collection matters.
Can SAPIR EA speak to the IRS for me?
Yes. Once the appropriate authorization is in place, SAPIR EA can communicate with the IRS on your behalf regarding the matter covered by the engagement.
What should I do if I receive an IRS notice?
Do not ignore it. Review the response deadline and gather the notice and related tax records. SAPIR EA can review what the IRS is asking for and help determine the appropriate response.
Can you help with unfiled tax returns?
Yes. SAPIR EA can help identify missing years, reconstruct available records, prepare prior-year returns, and work toward bringing the taxpayer back into filing compliance.
Can you help if I cannot pay the IRS in full?
Yes. Depending on the facts, available options may include an installment agreement, a partial-payment arrangement, temporary collection relief, or other resolution strategies.
Do you handle Offers in Compromise?
Yes. SAPIR EA can evaluate whether an Offer in Compromise may be appropriate, prepare the required financial information, and submit the request when the taxpayer appears to qualify.
Can IRS penalties be reduced or removed?
Sometimes. Eligibility depends on the taxpayer's compliance history and facts. Possible relief may include first-time abatement or reasonable-cause relief when IRS requirements are met.
Can you help with an IRS audit?
Yes. SAPIR EA can help organize records, communicate with the IRS, respond to information requests, explain positions taken on the return, and represent the taxpayer during the examination process.
Can you help with a bank levy or wage levy?
Yes. Collection matters can be time-sensitive. SAPIR EA can review the status of the account and determine what resolution options may be available based on the taxpayer's filing compliance, financial condition, and IRS deadlines.
Do I need to be located in Pennsylvania?
No. IRS representation is federal, and SAPIR EA works virtually with taxpayers nationwide. In-person appointments are also available in Jamison, Pennsylvania.
How does the virtual representation process work?
Clients can share notices and supporting records securely, meet by phone or video, authorize representation, and receive updates without routine office visits.
How quickly should I respond to an IRS letter?
As soon as possible. Many IRS notices contain specific response deadlines, and waiting can reduce available options or allow collection activity, interest, or penalties to continue.
Can you help with innocent spouse relief?
Yes. If a tax liability relates to a spouse or former spouse, SAPIR EA can review whether innocent spouse relief or another allocation of liability may be available under IRS rules.
Can you help with tax liens?
Yes. Depending on the account status and the taxpayer's circumstances, SAPIR EA can review the lien issue and help determine what resolution or release options may be available.
Will you guarantee that my tax debt will be reduced?
No reputable tax professional can guarantee a specific IRS outcome. Resolution depends on the law, the taxpayer's facts, financial information, compliance history, and IRS review.
Can I schedule a consultation before deciding how to proceed?
Yes. The first step is to review the issue, the IRS correspondence, and the taxpayer's current filing and payment status so the available options can be discussed.
