My local offices in Overland Park and Kansas City, Kansas are dedicated to helping Kansans fix problems they may be having with the federal government.

That includes helping local taxpayers with federal tax issues. We may be able to help:

• Recover stalled tax refunds.
• Correct issues with how the IRS calculated what you owe.
• Small business owners address their tax problems.
• Navigate the appeals process if you believe the IRS made an unfair decision.
• Address bureaucratic logjams like lost or mistaken paperwork.
• Setup a payment plan.
• Get more timely answers to your tax questions.
• Connect you with free, local, and public resources for further assistance.

These are just some of the ways we can help. And if we can't help you directly, we'll do our best to find someone who can. We're here to serve you.
