Report
I recently retired from a major corp, started a business and quickly found myself sideways with the IRS. Marge Rainey took great care to defend my cause with the IRS tax payers advocates office and saved me from being wrongly charged $10,000 in penalties, fees and back taxes. I was in the right, but you just can't fight the IRS by yourself.
Marj is attentive, follows up, and keeps things moving forward. She'll be handling my taxes from here on out.
Sincerely,
Richard Cox
