An Enrolled Agent ensures all required tax returns are filed before or during the bankruptcy process, which is often a court requirement. They identify missing years, request transcripts, and prepare accurate filings to avoid delays. This step is crucial because incomplete filings can halt or dismiss your bankruptcy case.
Communicating Directly with the IRS
An EA can represent you before the IRS, taking the pressure off you during an already stressful time. They handle correspondence, verify balances, and work with IRS agents to resolve account issues that could affect your bankruptcy. This professional representation ensures clear and accurate information is provided to both the court and IRS.
