Frequently Asked Questions

What types of tax matters does Boulanger CPA handle?

We focus on serious administrative tax controversies before the IRS and California taxing authorities, including audits, collection matters, multi-year compliance issues, payroll tax controversies, and related representation matters.

Should I hire a CPA or a tax attorney for my IRS matter?

For most administrative IRS and California tax matters—including audits, collections, and multi-year compliance—a licensed CPA is fully qualified to represent taxpayers before the taxing authorities. When litigation or another legal proceeding becomes necessary, we coordinate with experienced tax attorneys so the matter is handled by the appropriate professional.

Can you help if I have not filed tax returns in years?

Yes. Many of our clients have three, five, or even ten or more years of unfiled tax returns. We obtain IRS transcripts, reconstruct records when necessary, and develop a compliance strategy before preparing delinquent returns.

How are your fees structured?

Most matters begin with a fixed-fee analysis and strategy phase. Representation fees depend on the complexity, scope, and nature of the engagement. During the consultation process, we explain our phased approach and provide a clear fee proposal before work begins.

Do you provide ongoing tax planning and tax preparation?

Yes, for select direct clients. While our primary practice is tax controversy and representation, we also provide ongoing planning, compliance, and tax preparation for certain clients who wish to continue the relationship after their controversy matter has been resolved.

Do I need to be located in Orange County?

No. Our office is located in Orange County, but we represent businesses and individuals throughout California using secure client portals, video meetings, and electronic document exchange. In-person meetings are available by appointment.

Do you accept every tax resolution case?

No. Our practice is intentionally selective. We focus on matters where experienced CPA representation can provide meaningful value. If a matter falls outside our practice, we will do our best to direct the taxpayer to an appropriate resource.

What makes Boulanger CPA different?

We begin every engagement with a structured analysis before recommending a course of action. Our practice is focused on serious tax controversies where thoughtful strategy, professional judgment, and experienced representation can materially improve the client’s position.

Testimonials

Marc Boulanger is extremely efficient and straightforward in all of his work. The taxes were done far more quickly and I was able to get more funds back in comparison to last year. Any questions or concerns were answered by Marc in a timely manner and explained in layman’s terms, making it less intimidating for those who have little to no knowledge on the process.
