Tax Resolution · Manteca, California
A tax problem is a procedure, not a verdict. Someone has to read it correctly first.
Linda Diaz, EA, works with individuals and business owners facing IRS and California tax matters — reading the notice, confirming what is being asked, and explaining the realistic options in plain language.
What this covers
The situations that bring most people here.
A notice you have not answered
Letters from the IRS or a California tax agency carry notice numbers, tax years, and response windows. Identifying which notice you hold determines everything that follows.
An audit or examination
An examiner is asking for documentation. Linda has audited records professionally and knows what satisfies a request and what invites more questions.
Representation before tax authorities
As an Enrolled Agent, Linda is federally licensed to represent taxpayers before the IRS — so correspondence and conversations can run through her instead of you.
Years behind, and unsure where to start
Unfiled returns and accumulated balances are sequenced, not solved all at once. The first task is establishing what is actually outstanding.
An honest note about promises
Tax-resolution advertising is full of guaranteed settlements and pennies-on-the-dollar claims. You will not find those here. Which resolution programs apply to your situation — and whether you qualify — is confirmed with Linda case by case, after your facts have been reviewed. Nothing is promised before then.
The engagement
Three steps, and you always know which one you are on.
Tell Linda What Happened
A short, confidential intake identifies the tax authority involved, the issue, the deadline, and the years in question. No sensitive documents at this stage — just the facts of the situation.
Understand the Options
Linda reviews what you have described and explains the appropriate next steps in plain language. No fear tactics, no pressure, and no promises about an outcome she has not verified.
Move Forward With a Plan
You receive a defined engagement, a secure process for sending documents, and clear communication about where your case stands while the work is underway.
Before you call
What to have in front of you.
- The notice itself — the number in the top or bottom corner matters.
- The tax years listed on the letter.
- Any response deadline printed on it.
- Prior correspondence with the agency, if there has been any.
- Whether the matter is federal, California, or both.
