Darrin T. Mish

I was dealing with some substantial penalties due to failure to file. I consulted with Darrin to determine if there were options to abate the penalties given my overall positive tax-paying history. He explained the difference between a first-time penalty abatement waiver and penalty relief due to reasonable cause. In my initial meeting, Darrin looked over my IRS notices and we had an honest dialogue about my circumstances and what I felt were factors that contributed to my late filing. He stepped me through the reasons that are most often deemed legitimate. He also cautioned me that I needed to build a solid case for how my circumstances influenced my failure to file on a timely basis. In the end, based on the facts I had provided, he concluded that it would be best for me to document the request to the IRS on my own. Before I left the office, he had emailed me an example of the format that should be used to document my request as well as the proper mailing address. Within 5 days, he had also mailed some additional literature that provided tips for communicating with the IRS. Overall, i found Darrin professional, generous with his time and candid in his final recommendation. After approximately three months of review by the IRS, I am happy to report that my reasonable cause letter was successful and the penalties were removed. Take my advice and do not hesitate to call him if you need a solid partner to help you resolve your tax matter.

My family and I owe so much to Mr. Mish and his staff. We came to them with a problem and they worked tirelessly for the solution. Along the way the were sensitive, encouraging and professional. We highly recommend them if you need a tax attorney.
