Advised on Tax Audit or Examination | Mar 17, 2026
I was audited by federal tax because of my son special needs. I am in a program called Ihss and that income was supposed to be a none accountable income because of that. I owe over $10,000 of taxes everywhere that I went. Nobody knew about Ihss, till I came to Mr.syskes immediately. He knew about the program immediately. Told me what could happen. What couldn’t happen. I was clear and what to expect. He gave me an amazing rate to fight for me and 100% within less than four months. I have one the case First Thank You to Jesus and Mr. Skies and professional staff definitely would recommend, and as of now I come back for him to help me with my taxes. ..
