About James McIntosh
I have been preparing tax returns and helping my preparation clients resolve their tax issues since 1975. I have been an enrolled agent since 2019 and have resolved well over 500 tax liability cases since then. I am an aggressive advocate for my clients so they pay as little as legally possible, without losing assets. While I have support staff, each client will speak to me regarding their case. We provide very high-quality professional services.
