Why local matters

National firms don't know the Maryland Comptroller. We do.

Large national tax resolution firms handle IRS issues — but they're often unfamiliar with state-specific programs in Maryland, Virginia, and DC. When you have both IRS and state tax debt, that gap costs you.

We're a local firm based in College Park, Maryland. We know the Comptroller's collection process, Virginia's OIC program, and DC OTR. We handle everything in one place so nothing falls through the cracks.

What clients say

Real clients from Maryland, DC, and Virginia.

I owed the IRS over $80,000 and had three years of unfiled returns. Stephen handled everything — we filed the missing returns and settled the balance for under $12,000. I can't recommend him enough.

James T.
Silver Spring, MD

My wages were being garnished by the IRS and I was panicking. They stopped the garnishment within a week and set me up on a payment plan I can actually afford.

Patricia M.
Arlington, VA

We had both IRS and Maryland state tax issues from a bad year in our small business. Having one person handle both at once made the whole process so much less overwhelming.

David & Lisa R.
Washington, DC

I was audited after claiming home office deductions. Stephen handled all the communication with the IRS — I didn't have to deal with them once. The audit closed with no additional taxes owed.
