About Grace Castro, EA, CAA
Grace Castro, EA
Enrolled Agent | Tax Resolution Specialist | Certified Acceptance Agent
With over 14 years of professional experience, I specialize in helping individuals and small businesses resolve their toughest tax challenges. As an IRS Enrolled Agent (EA)—the highest credential awarded by the IRS—I am federally authorized to represent taxpayers in all 50 states before the IRS in audits, collections, and appeals.
I’m also a Certified Acceptance Agent and a Licensed Insurance Agent in the State of Illinois, uniquely positioning me to offer clients comprehensive guidance in tax, compliance, and financial protection.
At just 24 years old, I founded Midland LDU, a firm focused on supporting the growth of small businesses and helping clients take control of their financial futures. I bring a hands-on, empathetic approach to tax resolution, combining technical expertise with a deep commitment to client advocacy.
My background includes years of dedicated service to immigrant communities and nonprofit initiatives, and I bring that same compassion and determination to every case I handle.
When I'm not solving tax problems, I enjoy spending time with my husband and four children, staying active at the gym, and building lifelong friendships with the people I serve.
If you're facing tax debt, IRS letters, or need a trusted expert to guide you—I'm here to help.
