“When I was faced with an audit and possible tax court on issues with the IRS for my returns from 5 years ago, John Spurgeon and his staff petitioned the tax court and negotiated with the Appeals Officer on my behalf. Through his expertise, he was ultimately able to get the additional Federal & State liability reduced from $208,584.30 to $20,059.70 without the involvement of tax court.” – RL
