IRS Representation
Receiving a letter from the IRS is stressful. Facing an audit, a tax debt, or an enforcement action can feel overwhelming especially if you’re living abroad and dealing with it from thousands of miles away.
As an IRS Enrolled Agent, Anthony Vargas has the federal license to represent you before the IRS in any matter, in any state, and from anywhere in the world. You don’t have to face the IRS alone.
IRS REPRESENTATION SERVICES
IRS Audit Representation
If the IRS selects your return for examination, you have the right to be represented. We communicate directly with the IRS on your behalf, prepare your documentation, and work to achieve the best possible resolution — whether that’s a no-change outcome or a reduced assessment.
IRS Notice Response
Received an IRS notice? Don’t ignore it and don’t panic. We review the notice, identify what the IRS is actually asking for, and respond on your behalf promptly and professionally. Most notices are resolved quickly when handled correctly.
Tax Debt Resolution
If you owe back taxes, there are more options than you might think. We evaluate your situation and help you pursue the right resolution strategy, which may include an Installment Agreement, Currently Not Collectible status, an Offer in Compromise, or Innocent Spouse Relief.
Penalty Abatement
The IRS assesses millions of dollars in penalties each year — and many of them can be reduced or eliminated. We request penalty abatement on your behalf based on reasonable cause, first-time abatement eligibility, or other applicable grounds.
Offer in Compromise
An Offer in Compromise allows qualifying taxpayers to settle their IRS debt for less than the full amount owed. This is a complex process with strict eligibility requirements. We evaluate whether you qualify and handle the submission from start to finish.
Delinquent Return Filing
Years of unfiled returns create compounding penalties and interest — and leave you vulnerable to IRS enforcement. We help you file back returns accurately, assess your options for reducing penalties, and get you back into compliance.
FBAR Penalty Defense
The penalties for FBAR violations can be severe, but they are not always final. We work with expats to address delinquent FBAR filings through the appropriate IRS procedures and, where penalties have been assessed, to contest or reduce them through the appeals process.
IRS Appeals
If you disagree with an IRS determination, you have the right to appeal. We represent clients before the IRS Independent Office of Appeals, preparing the case and advocating for the most favorable resolution.
WHY YOUR ENROLLED AGENT STATUS MATTERS HERE
Many tax preparers can file returns but not all of them can represent you when things go wrong. As an IRS Enrolled Agent, Anthony has unlimited representation rights before the IRS. That means no matter what the issue is audit, collections, penalty, appeal he can stand in your corner and deal directly with the IRS on your behalf.
For expat clients especially, having representation that can handle both the international tax compliance side AND the IRS resolution side under one roof is rare and valuable.
