Thorough assistance with expat and foreign bank filings

Ellyn Tanenberg provided, immediate, timely and thorough assistance with state and federal tax issues arising from a period of working abroad, including missed filing dates and pending claims. Highly recommend.

Highly recommended!

During our nearly three years working together, I have been consistently impressed by Ellyn’s attention to detail, dedication, resourcefulness, perseverance and honest guidance when it has come to resolving my extremely complicated tax situation. Upon receiving permanent residency to the US, I discov...ered I owed several years' worth of taxes to the government. Navigating both tax law and the US immigration law, Ellyn left no stone unturned as she investigated the facts and triangulated her findings with various sources in order to be able to file city, state and federal taxes on my behalf. Each fact and figure was supported by a specific tax code or detailed advice from an authority in the IRS who Ellyn personally contacted. Throughout the process, Ellyn’s genuine concern for my case and cheery disposition made her a real pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend Ellyn highly enough - you can rest assured, she will get to the bottom of even the most challenging of tax situations!

Excellent Attorney

My husband and I spent years trying to resolve a tax problem. We literally felt hopeless and did not know where else to turn. Upon conferring with our daughter, Attorney Ellyn Tanenberg was recommended. Ellyn was very competent and thorough as she prepared to represent us. Throughout the tedious pro...cess of document collection, phone calls and additional "roadblocks", we finally received an acceptable installment agreement, thanks to Ellyn! She was persistent! When we felt like quitting the process, she responded, " You can't give up on me now! You have been dealing with this for 5 years!" She truly cared! Our heartfelt thanks, again, to you Ellyn!!!

Attorney-CPA Recommendation

Ellyn Tanenberg has been my Attorney/CPA for nine years. She is professional, thorough, highly-competent and pleasant to work with. In her profession, she has managed to surround herself with the tools and resources needed to do her job efficiently and effectively. Her analysis of issues is wel...l thought-out and factual. She will work on and research an issue until she gets an answer. Ms. Tanenberg is also reliable and dedicated to her clients and the work she performs for them. Ms. Tanenberg recently represented me at an IRS Audit and her knowledge as a CPA, her confidence and excellent skills served me well. The bottom line, Ms. Tanenberg is a top notch CPA/Attorney who is committed, skilled and patient as she tackles problems and sees them through to completion if it requires research or just plain hard work and endurance. I highly recommend Ms. Tanenberg to anyone searching for a competent Attorney/CPA.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
