I met Ann Rice through an IRS audit in 2018. Her experience and compassion got me through that audit. I have gone to her to have our taxes done every year since that audit. She is the only bright spot for me in the whole tax experience every year!! Testimonial written by Tara Hopkins on this site.

On 4/6/2023 Darrell Stewart had this to say:
I was in a huge hole I wasn’t sure how I was going to get out of with Federal and the state of Iowa for taxes all the way back to 2014. I owed over $400,000 between the two entities. Ann worked her magic and tax knowledge for the past year- she was diligent and stuck with it she researched above and beyond to get the facts to federal and state and now I am still in shock the blessing she was to me. Out of the total all penalties and interest were wiped out and she got me down to $25,000. I’m not sure how I could ever thank her enough knowing this weight is off my shoulders. Testimonial written by Darrell Stewart on this site.

On 3/27/2023 Krissy Lefort had this to say:
Ann tirelessly works in your behalf to make the stress go away when IRS letters are received. It's absolutely amazing the reduction in fees and penalties she is able to either completely erase or substantially reduce. We are so fortunate to have her available locally be our advocate when we received any letters. She also deals with estate work which can be very stressful to deal with, she can even do out of state estate issues. Testimonial written by Krissy Lefort on this site.
