A Maryland Firm That Represents You Anywhere in the Country
IRS matters are federal. A licensed CPA, Enrolled Agent or attorney may represent a taxpayer before the IRS in any state — the authority comes from a signed Form 2848, not from a shared postcode.
We work with clients in all 50 states, entirely by phone, email and secure document portal. Most cases run start to finish without anyone meeting in person.

Do I need a CPA in my own state?
Not for IRS matters. Who may practice before the IRS is set federally under Circular 230 and turns on credentials, not location. Once a Form 2848 Power of Attorney is on file, the IRS deals with us regardless of which state either of us is in.
Who may practice before the IRS is set federally, under Circular 230 (Circular 230, IRS.gov). It turns on credentials, not location. Once a Form 2848 Power of Attorney is on file, the IRS deals with us on your behalf regardless of which state either of us is in.
Collection itself is worked the same way. Campus units and Revenue Officers operate by correspondence and telephone, and Power of Attorney routes that contact to us. Being near a particular IRS office confers nothing.
How does a remote tax resolution case work?
A free 15-minute call, then Form 8821 or 2848 signed electronically so transcripts can be pulled, documents through a secure portal, and the IRS calls coming to us rather than to you. Most cases run start to finish without anyone meeting in person.
- A 15-minute call. Free, with a licensed CPA, and honest about whether you need a firm at all.
- Form 8821 or 2848 signed electronically. That lets us pull your IRS account and wage-and-income transcripts and see exactly what the IRS has.
- Documents through a secure portal. Not email attachments, and not the post.
- We take the calls. From that point the IRS contacts us, which for most clients is the first real relief.
Is anything different if I am not in Maryland?
Only the drive. The same seven people in Columbia work the case — no overflow center, no contractor pool, no handoff after you sign — and fees are flat and quoted after the free review whether you are in Columbia or California.
The team is the same seven people in Columbia, Maryland — no overflow center, no contractor pool, no handoff after you sign. The team page has all of them by name, and the person who reviews your case is on it.

Questions people ask about this
Do I need a CPA in my own state?
Not for IRS matters. Federal tax is federal: a licensed CPA, Enrolled Agent or attorney may represent a taxpayer before the IRS in any state, on the strength of a signed Form 2848 rather than where either of you lives.
How does this work if I am nowhere near Maryland?
Exactly as it does for clients down the road. Transcripts are pulled electronically, documents move through a secure portal, and the calls with the IRS are ours to make. Most cases run start to finish without anyone meeting in person.
What about my state tax debt?
We handle Maryland directly with the Comptroller. For other states we coordinate the state matter alongside the federal case so the two are resolved in step, and we will tell you plainly where a local specialist would serve you better.
Is a remote firm at any disadvantage with the IRS?
No. IRS collection is worked by campus units and Revenue Officers by correspondence and telephone regardless of geography, and Power of Attorney routes their contact to us. Proximity to a particular office confers nothing.

Distance is not the obstacle you think it is
Clients in states we have never set foot in have had levies released and balances settled. The work is the same; only the drive is missing.
