In my opinion, the IRS is an institution that, more often than not, does treat taxpayers fairly.  Yes, you read that correctly.  Internal Revenue Service (IRS) ……. the operating word is “Service”.  Taxes can be a nightmare, but the IRS may also be very helpful in certain circumstances.  Sure, there are times when agenst can get unreasonable or just outright mean, but overall they are helpful. IF you know how to work with them.  That's  where we come in.  Proper representation is always a good idea in order to protect yourself.  Matters can be misconstrued, misrepresented or even misinterpreted.
