Tristan D. Taylor, EA · IRS representation
Tax strategy for people and businesses who are tired of surprises. I find what a return, entity, estimate, or notice is costing you — then help you make the next move with confidence.

A return can be filed on time while the plan still misses an election, underestimates cash needs, or leaves a notice unanswered. Individuals and businesses need a tax system that reflects how money actually moves through the year.
Focused tax work for the decision in front of you, whether you need a second look or an ongoing partner.
We read your return, notices, and current facts together to find missed elections, deductions, timing issues, or exposure. You leave with a prioritized next move.
Entity structure, PTET, estimated payments, and other planning decisions are tested against your actual facts. You make the election that fits the year, not the one that merely sounds clever.
We map where income, people, property, and sales create filing or collection obligations. You get a cleaner compliance path across the states involved.
I handle notices, correspondence, and IRS matters as an Enrolled Agent admitted to practice nationwide. You have someone in the conversation when the IRS calls.
We turn filing dates, estimates, payroll, and planning decisions into a working calendar. You can make cash decisions before the deadline makes them for you.
One primary path. No portal theater. You leave knowing the next move before you buy a full-year engagement.
Book 30 minutes and bring last year’s return or a notice if you have one. Remote is the default.
What to file, what to elect, what to ignore, and what would be a bad idea. If the review does not warrant more work, I say so.
Returns, PTET, multi-state, sales tax, or IRS representation. You keep the operating account. I keep the deadline.
The work starts with the facts, not a preset package or a once-a-year handoff.
A filed return is a starting point. Planning, estimates, elections, and notices get attention while there is still time to act.
Start with a 30-minute Tax Leak Review before buying a full-year engagement. Scope and fee follow the facts.
I won't invent deductions or force a position the books can't support. Good tax work includes knowing what not to claim.
As an Enrolled Agent, I provide remote IRS representation worldwide on U.S. matters. In one construction case, reinstatement took 48 hours and avoided roughly $200K in penalties.

Featured case
Colleagues I’ve worked with
“Tristan is a phenomenal accountant in every sense of the word. I had the pleasure of working with Tristan for several years and can attest to his professionalism, accounting knowledge, and overall character… His customer service abilities, attention to detail and willingness to problem solve make him a valuable asset to all in need.”
“I spent two years working with Tristan and know him to be a rigorous and anticipative financial professional. Tristan has a deep understanding of financial controls, book-keeping, complex payable systems, and can streamline companies’ accounting, finance, and FP&A protocols. His biggest strengths lie in identifying and executing on opportunities for change management.”
“Tristan worked with me in a start-up company as an accountant. He brought order to a rather chaotic accounting department and helped to put procedures in place to make the company more efficient… He is experienced in general accounting, receivables, payables and sales.”
“I have found Tristan to be a smart, honest and accountable professional who I feel secure in recommending to others. I greatly admire his integrity, dedication and resourcefulness.”

Keep them. An Enrolled Agent is federally licensed to represent taxpayers before the IRS in all 50 states. A preparer can file the return; this work adds planning, filings, and representation alongside the people you already trust.
Last year’s federal return (and state, if you have it). Any IRS or state notice. A one-line description of your income or business and where cash is tight. If books are in QuickBooks, say so. Don't send passwords.
I work remote with taxpayers worldwide on U.S. tax matters. As an Enrolled Agent I can represent taxpayers before the IRS from anywhere in the world. Multi-state and sales-tax work is part of the regular book.
Start with a 30-minute Tax Leak Review. You hear the next move before you buy a full-year engagement. Scope and fee follow the facts — a notice, a missed election, a second state, or ongoing planning. I won't quote a number before I've seen the return.
Invent deductions. File-and-forget seasonal prep with no plan. Take an engagement when the books can't support the position. Lender negotiation, appraisal opinions, and opinion letters are outside this page.
Primary next step
On the call I will tell you what is leaking and whether a full engagement is warranted. Email stays open if you would rather send the return first: tristan.taylor@mail.com.
