About Krish (PK) Perinkulam

I am an Enrolled Agent licensed by the IRS and admitted to practice before the IRS for all 50 states. I specialize in representing Real Estate agents, IT Professionals, Truckers, and small businesses to resolve their tax issues.

I also hold the United States Tax Court Practitioner (USTCP) designation which allows me to practice and represent clients before the United States Tax Court as a Non-Attorney. Only about 300 people hold this prestigious credential.

I have a Master of Science in Taxation degree from the prestigious Golden Gate University where I enhanced my knowledge of tax law. I am a Certified Tax Resolution Specialist (awarded by American Society of Tax Problem Solvers - ASTPS). I also have the prestigious Fellowship from NTPI, awarded to persons who specialize in Tax Resolution work. I have resolved numerous taxpayer issues and eliminated their tax debts through Partial Pay Installment agreements, Audit Reconsiderations, as well as get taxpayers enrolled into Currently Non-Collectible status. I love helping taxpayers and get their problems resolved.

My practice also handles Income Tax preparation for clients who have unfiled returns with the IRS and the various states. My firm also handles International and cross-border returns (US/Canada). In addition, if you need a Tax Court petition prepared (which can be done only by a USTCP, or an Attorney), you can reach my firm.

Advised on Tax Case | Oct 5, 2021
I had the pleasure of collaborating with PK in a Master’s Program in Taxation on numerous projects and have subsequently consulted with him on various tax issues, including but not limited to complex International transactions and tax resolution cases. PK pays close attention to detail, is a great team player and is very versed in the tax code. He is personable, meticulous, and highly competent. He performs tasks in an efficient and professional manner.

Extremely positive experience working with PK! He was very thorough and looked into my use case (cross-state taxes) in detail. He walked me through the entire process and set clear expectations. He helped me file federal, CA, and AZ taxes. With his help, I saved several hundred dollars on my tax returns. His rates are reasonable and transparent. I highly recommend PK to anyone who needs help with their tax return.

Advised on FIRPTA , Tax Refund | Apr 28, 2026
I'm a US citizen who holds a durable power of attorney for a close family-like friend from South India who is no longer in the US and doesn't expect to return. He sold real estate with me as his POA and a large excess of his closing payment was withheld by the IRS. Getting this excess refunded was the headache of all times since it seems the IRS never actually credited him with the payment! Instead after he filed his Federal Tax showing the 1099 they started sending him notices dunning payment which became seriously threatening. Calling the IRS (they never picked up after 12 hours on hold) and writing them was useless and aggravating. And now my friend was in serious need of the money. A number of Indian and US tax accountants we contacted just gave us the runaround. It felt hopeless. Ultimately I chanced on "PK" at Phoenix ITIN and that was our lucky day. It took from August 2025 til March 2026, but as predicted, PK got the IRS to find and link the missing withheld payment so the threatening letters stopped. Then a few months later he said to look for a refund check and lo and behold it finally arrived in my friend's hand today. Miracle!
I recommend Phoenix ITIN.
