Mr. Hopkins and his associates were extraordinarily helpful, knowledgeable, caring and put my mind to ease while resolving my case. Although my case was challenging and unique, Mr. Hopkins and his team did the legwork needed for a full resolution and reversal of fines. Thank you!

"Thanks Kim, It was a pleasure working with you. As we both saw in your circumstances, the IRS takes many months in some instances to process written Correspondence requests for penalty abatements. I am so glad we got the penalty 100% abated in you circumstance.

LLC Reinstatement
Ashton Hobluetzel did an outstanding job of servicing my account. I needed to revive
in a hurry a Texas LLC that had gone into termination for failure to file franchise tax forms
for the last three years. Mr. Hobluetzel was courteous, prompt and efficient in meeting my
needs in a timely manner. The company is now in good standing after only a few weeks of delay, in a
state that is notorious for holding up the processing, sometimes for months. To my thinking
Ashton is a credit to your organization. If I can believe that there are more of same under your roof, you are bound to be successful!
Many thanks,
Geoffrey T. Chalmers, Esq.

Lucky to have found Joe Hopkins and his team to help represent us with the IRS. After being advised by another firm to just pay what the IRS says even though it was wrong and just be done with it, we went to Joe and he and his team helped find an error that was missed by both the previous firm and IRS which ended up saving us over $15,000. Working from Oregon with his firm in Texas for my parents that live in Texas was so easy with Joe and his team and they got us the results we were hoping for. Thank you Joe. I recommend his business 100%.

"Thanks for your patience on this particular case as the iRS has a backlog in their system and amendments and penalty abatement requests can take many months to process. Patience & persistence is a requirement these days with IRS.

What an incredible experience!
I didn’t file taxes for a few years while I was trying to build up my income. I didn’t even realize that I had never filed for taxes in 2014. The penalties and amount due totaled over $40k. Joe and his amazing team took on my case and refilled the taxes for me. I ended up having that reduced by almost $25k. His team kept me in the loop the entire time and were quick to get things handled. I will never use anyone else.

"Thanks Collin, good point you mentioned on the reduction of past taxes. The IRS can create Substitute for Returns which essentially creates an estimated tax due for one or more unfiled years. These estimated returns are 95% of the time not favorable to the clients situation and creates a larger tax debt. Your particular situation I refer to it as the Texas Two Step (Offensive & Defensive Strategies). Reduce down the debt with advanced tax planning strategies and then tackle the remaining debt with an IRS resolution exit strategy.
We strive to not only fixing clients past but helping them into the future with an invitation to be our long term clients for either business or individuals.
Thanks again for the opportunity to help you Collin and look forward to the future client relationship.

I was what Joe called an 'ostrich' client, i.e., one who 'thinks' if you avoid a problem long enough it will eventually go away. Not so with the IRS. For various and inexcusable reasons I avoided filing for several years. There was much weeping and gnashing of teeth worrying about it, yet I continued to keep my head in the sand. "I'll get this taken care of soon!". Well I didn't. Enter Joe Hopkins.
In summary, Joe and his team did an extraordinary job. We were given an unreasonable time frame to address and act upon an unreasonable amount of information. All demands were met, agreements made, and I am now back on the grid. I feel like a thousand pounds have been lifted off my shoulders.
It's difficult to praise all of their processes, but lets settle with professional, pleasant, calming and relentlessly efficient. I highly recommend their services to resolve any issues that may apply. I am excited to have retained them for all future filings. I can see again!

Audit Representation
I employed Joe Hopkins CPA firm to represent me regarding an IRS audit. He came highly recommended from a friend who is a CPA. Joe immediately began working on the case along with former IRS agents Michael Sullivan and Herb Cantor. Their range of knowledge and combined 150+ years of experience is astounding. From our first conversation, I was assured of their professional representation and attention to my case. They go above and beyond to keep me informed as to where we are on the case and what to expect and where we are going next. They are definitely experts in this field and I am very confident that they will continue to represent me until this case is completed. I highly recommend this firm!!
