What we offer.
A thought of having to deal with taxing authorities can be stressful. In fact, the problem should be avoided through voluntary compliance. However, due to unforeseen circumstances or simply avoidance, there comes a time when taxpayers will have to face their tax issues.
With sufficient research and time, taxpayers may choose to work directly with IRS and state department of revenue to resolve their own issues. In fact, we sometimes make recommendations to do just that for simple disputes.
​
However, there are considerable reasons to retain an experienced licensed practitioner. Not only can taxpayers save their valuable time and emotional energy, but they can also benefit from the know-hows of the experienced practitioners as to available resolution options, taxpayer's rights or legal parameters of taxing authorities.
​
At DUKSU COMPANY, we strive to offer honest, ethical and savvy approach to address taxpayers' issues. Based on over 12 years of industry experience, we will negotiate a favorable resolution specific to taxpayers' situation and needs.
