Location: Los Angeles, CA Employment Type: FULL TIME / IN-PERSON

STOP BEFORE YOU APPLY This role requires hands-on, verifiable experience in tax resolution. If you have not personally worked IRS collection cases, negotiated with revenue officers, or managed a resolution caseload, do not apply. This is not an entry-level or tax preparation-only position.

Responsibilities

• Handle complex IRS and state tax resolution cases including Offers in Compromise (OIC), Installment Agreements (IA), Currently Not Collectible (CNC), Penalty Abatement, Innocent Spouse Relief, and Levy/Lien releases
• Analyze IRS transcripts (Wage & Income, Account, TXMODA) to assess client tax liability and history
• Review and interpret financial statements (433-A, 433-B) to determine appropriate resolution strategy
• Communicate directly with the IRS via phone, fax, and written correspondence — including handling Revenue Officer cases
• Draft and submit IRS correspondence, appeals, and resolution packages independently
• Manage an active caseload with minimal supervision and provide timely client updates
• Ensure full compliance with Circular 230, IRC statutes, and applicable state tax codes

Requirements

• Active Enrolled Agent (EA) license — non-negotiable
• Minimum 2–3 years of direct tax resolution experience (OIC, IA, CNC, Appeals — not just tax prep)
• Demonstrated ability to read and interpret IRS transcripts and notices independently
• Working knowledge of IRS Collection Division processes, deadlines, and the Collections Due Process (CDP) framework
• Familiarity with IRS e-Services, CAF unit procedures, and POA/TIA authorization (Forms 2848 / 8821)
• Ability to independently strategize and execute resolution plans without hand-holding
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for client-facing and IRS-facing interactions
• Ability to manage 20+ active cases simultaneously with accuracy and professionalism

Preferred

• Experience using IRS Logics or similar tax resolution CRM platforms
• Prior experience at a dedicated tax resolution firm (not just a general CPA or bookkeeping office)
• Knowledge of state-level resolution programs (FTB, EDD, CDTFA in California a strong plus)
• Bilingual — Spanish-speaking strongly preferred
• Experience handling trust fund recovery penalty (TFRP) cases or payroll tax matters

Compensation

• Competitive base compensation + performance incentives
• Consistent, structured caseload — no cold prospecting required
• Established systems and case management infrastructure
• Direct mentorship from senior tax attorneys and compliance leadership
• Real growth potential within a fast-scaling tax resolution firm
