About
Dedicated to Protecting Taxpayer Rights
A California native, I spent 17 years producing nationally on stages and in museums before founding a tax firm in Los Angeles. We specialize in business tax and strategy for creative professionals, including artists, composers, and designers.
Licensed by the Department of Treasury, I represent clients before the IRS and serve as a U.S. Tax Court Litigation Apprentice. I hold a master’s degree from Carnegie Mellon and a bachelor’s degree from New College.
Navigating the Changing Tax Landscape
With billions in legacy funding, the IRS has continued to modernize its computer systems and use algorithms and 3rd-party data sources to determine underreporting of income and fraudulent returns. These increased investments signal a position of more rigorous collections and examinations. If you owe back taxes, you’re likely to receive a letter from the IRS.
To help our clients stay informed in this evolving landscape, we’ve launched a quarterly newsletter. Our goal is to provide timely, actionable information about filing accurate returns while maximizing the generous tax benefits available to you.
Expert Advocacy for Taxpayer Rights
As a Department of Treasury Enrolled Agent, and a U.S. Tax Court litigation apprentice Samir is one of a select few professionals with the expertise to advocate for taxpayer rights before the IRS and state taxing authorities. Enrolled Agents (EAs) are the only tax professionals licensed to practice by the federal government, unlike CPAs and attorneys, who are licensed by individual states and cannot practice across state lines.
Enrolled Agents are your strongest line of defense during IRS audits or collection actions. With specialized knowledge in tax matters, EAs are invaluable resources for individuals and businesses navigating the complexities of the U.S. tax system.
As advocates for taxpayers, we provide rigorous representation before federal, state, and local taxing authorities. We believe everyone deserves a robust defense against overreaching tax agents.
