Ms. Harris is professional and strives as an Enrolled Agent to perform in the highest ethical manner. She evaluates the specific needs of representation clients, completes their case and directs them how to take steps to better their situations. When preparing tax returns she is thorough and completes over and above continuing education to keep relevant regarding changing laws.

Advised on Unfiled Tax Returns, Past Due Tax Return | Apr 4, 2023
Both of my parents passed away within 6 months of each other in 2017. As executor, I was informed that I was to had filed my parents 2016 taxes in order to finalize probate. Kesha, understand my fear and frustration of learning this 5 years after the passing of my parents. She handled everything for me with the filing, the failure to file and failure to pay fines. She truly was a godsend to me.

I can't say enough great things about Kesha Harris.
Proffesional, responsive and kind are just a few words to describe her.

Advised on Tax Lien, Unpaid Taxes | Aug 9, 2022
I was recently referred by new my new accountant because I had some old tax issues and they had become onerous. Resilient Tax Group approached the issues professionally and worked at a swift pace. They communicated with me on a regular basis. Agent K was understanding and non- judgmental for my past lapses in tax. Agent K was able to get me a settlement which is fair, and I am now able to continue with my life without fear and harassment.
