Tax Plug meets Tax Boss. 🤝
Most taxpayers treat an IRS issue like a fight-or-flight moment.
The truth?
It’s usually somewhere in between.
But most people still choose flight.
Avoid the mailbox.
Ignore the letters.
Stuff them in a drawer.
Hope the problem disappears.
It doesn’t.
It usually gets worse.
Trust me, I understand how people feel about taxes and the IRS.
But my years in the trenches, literally, as a United States Marine conditioned me to remain comfortable in high-stakes situations.
And whether it’s war or taxes, the same principles apply:
Do your homework.
Learn the terrain.
Know your trade.
Come prepared.
Because when both sides understand their roles, what feels like it should be a fight can become a dance.
Maybe even a Kodak moment.
Case in point: Juan and me.
He serves within the IRS Independent Office of Appeals, covering 13 states, including my own Sunshine State.
No fight.
No flight.
Just two professionals who know the terrain.
I sit across the table from Appeals officers so you don’t have to.
If the IRS is in your mailbox, you want the Tax Plug in your corner.
