About Ivan Alvarez

Ivan is a CPA, CMA, CPP, and NTPI fellow who specializes in IRS and state tax problem resolution/representation. He has clients nationwide including individuals, businesses, and families.

Every case has a solution and Ivan works on only a handful of cases at a time and is personally involved in every case to assist you in finding one.

Our commitment is to with you personally to bring your case to a resolution. If you work with us, you don't get handed off to someone with limited experience or a call center. No high pressure sales person. No scare tactics. You deal directly with the person handling your case from start to finish and get straight answers.

Ivan leverages his public company audit experience to provide you with effective IRS representation for small business owners and self-employed individuals.

What sets him apart from others is his knowledge of accounting and external audit. He can step in the shoes of the auditor and accurately predict their moves. Further, his prior military tenacity, "can-do" attitude, and attention to detail is key to closing these cases quickly and painlessly.

He has a record of success representing Corporations with unknown financial reporting irregularities that typically trigger audits. He leverages his expertise to fix the financial reporting and minimize the damage.

As it relates to individuals, he has successfully turned around hopeless situations where self-employed individuals had no receipts and he was able to guide them in order to accumulate sufficient evidence prevent expansion to more than one year (yes, the letter is for one year, but the IRS agent can expand the audit).

He enjoys putting all of my talent's to work for distressed taxpayers. If you are facing IRS or state tax problems that are related to income taxes, sales taxes, payroll taxes, call Ivan for a free case review.

Advised on Tax Penalties | Feb 16, 2024
We were incorrectly assessed an IRS penalty of $17,270 alleging late filing of payroll tax. Ivan researched the issue and provided evidence proving the penalty was not warranted. The penalty was removed in full on February 8th. This is not the first time Ivan has supported us in successfully challenging inaccurate assessments.

"Thank you Peter! It was a pleasure serving you! Thank you for your patience as it took the IRS almost 6 months to get a response, but I am glad we were able to obtain a positive resolution to your case. "
