Dealing effectively with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or other state or local regulatory authorities requires specialized knowledge and experience. IRS and State auditors are trained to extract more information from you than you have a legal obligation to provide. IRS Auditors know that most people fear them and are ignorant of their rights. As a result, they know they can use that fear and ignorance to their advantage.

Rarely do our clients even have to talk with the IRS. We have achieved a level of competence, from our years of experience dealing with many taxing authorities, which ensures our clients they are being properly represented before the various federal and state tax agencies. At Stark Yager, Ltd., we handle it all for you so that you don't need to take time off of your business or job to handle the bureaucracy and paperwork of the IRS. No lost wages or business. You simply forward notification of an audit to us and we handle it from A to Z.
