When the IRS writes back

An IRS letter is not something you face alone

An Enrolled Agent is federally licensed to represent you before the IRS. If you have a notice, a proposed adjustment, or a filing gone sideways, we can deal with the IRS for you.

The problem

The letter that ruins a week

An IRS notice arrives with a number, a deadline, and language that is hard to parse. Most people either panic or ignore it, and both make it worse. What the letter usually needs is a correct, timely response from someone authorized to speak to the IRS on your behalf. That authorization is exactly what an Enrolled Agent has.

What an Enrolled Agent can do

An Enrolled Agent is a tax professional licensed by the federal government, with unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS in all 50 states. That means dealing with notices, responding to proposed adjustments, and representing you in matters before the IRS, for individuals and businesses, resident and nonresident.

How it works

From letter to closed out

01

Send us the notice

A photo or scan of the letter is enough to start.

02

We tell you what it means

In plain terms: what it wants, what the deadline is, and what the options are.

03

We respond and represent

With your authorization, we deal with the IRS directly.

04

We close it out

And fix whatever caused it, so the same letter does not come back next year.

Who this is for

Anyone holding a letter they did not expect

Most of these are automated and a fair number are simply wrong. Do not pay it yet.

01

A notice you do not understand

The letter arrived, the language is opaque, and the deadline is real.

02

Nonresidents and foreign owners

People who got a letter about a US filing they did not know they had.

03

A proposed penalty on a business form

Businesses facing an assessment on 5472, 5471, or a late return.

04

Someone else's error

People whose previous preparer made a mistake the IRS caught.

Who does the work

Federally licensed representation

Representation is handled by Alina Prykhodko, an IRS Enrolled Agent based in Seal Beach, California, federally licensed with unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS in all 50 states. She works with US residents, immigrants, nonresident taxpayers, and small business owners, and holds a master's in finance from the Kharkiv Institute of Finance.

Plain answers

What people ask when the letter arrives

What is an Enrolled Agent, and how is it different from a CPA?
An Enrolled Agent is a tax professional licensed directly by the federal government, with unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS in all 50 states. The license is specifically about federal tax and IRS representation. A CPA is a state-licensed accountant. For dealing with the IRS, an Enrolled Agent has full representation authority.
I got a notice about a penalty. Can it be reduced?
Sometimes. Depending on the notice and the facts, there are established ways to respond, contest, or request relief. We assess your specific letter before saying what is possible.
Do I have to talk to the IRS myself?
No. With your authorization, an Enrolled Agent can deal with the IRS on your behalf. That is the core of what the license allows.
The notice is about a form I did not know I had to file. What now?
Common with 5472 and FBAR. We handle the late filing and the notice response together, and lay out the exposure honestly.

in a few sentences

We will tell you which forms apply and what it costs. No jargon, no obligation. Being years behind is a normal conversation here, not a confession.

  • Julia or Alina reads it, not an assistant
  • Usually a reply within one business day
  • A fixed fee agreed up front, before any work starts

Please do not include your Social Security number, ITIN, or account numbers here. If we need identifying details, we will ask for them over a channel meant for it.
