Meet the Gurus
We bring deep experience from our decades with the IRS — including roles in auditing, management, and Appeals — and a clear understanding of how the IRS reviews returns, flags issues, and resolves cases behind the scenes.
At GoTaxGurus, we don’t just prepare taxes — we build strategies that account for how the IRS actually works. Our approach helps individuals and business owners reduce risk, defend what they’ve earned, and make smarter tax moves that hold up under scrutiny.
This isn’t generic tax planning — it’s strategy shaped by years inside the system.
