It is our goal to make sure both you and our agency are in full compliance with all IRS rules and regulations. We use data recognized by the IRS that is specific by region to ensure you’ll get the maximum legal tax benefit allowed by law. Why? Because we know how you’d feel if you ended up with an unpleasant surprise during a tax audit down the road. Operating in the “gray area” when it comes to your taxes is not worth the risk – just ask any travel nurse who’s been audited.
