New Services To Be Offered In 2013

Audit Retainer

 

Over the past few years, we have seen IRS and state tax departments examining more and more returns at various levels throughout the country.  Some of these examinations do not take long to address, while others can take many hours.  Having noticed this trend over the past few years we have decided to begin offering an Audit Retainer.  For those choosing to purchase this service, we will review and respond to tax authority communications at no extra charge for each year purchased.  We hope this will give you peace of mind regarding potential further expenses for our services should you receive one of these communications.  We will provide you with an update on this new service as the season progresses.

This program allows its participants to experience a night of homelessness and raise awareness on the issue.
