Payroll Tax (EDD) · 2026

An Employment Development Department (EDD) payroll tax audit of a San Diego County entertainment business closed with no change after we reviewed and documented more than 50 contractor relationships.

Results depend on the facts of each case, and a past result does not promise a similar outcome.

A California electronics repair business's Employment Development Department (EDD) assessment, about $195,000 when it reached the settlement unit, was resolved for about $29,500 after the personal income tax portion was abated.

IRS Audit · 2024

In a United States Tax Court case over a restaurant owner's disallowed business expenses, we documented enough of the expenses that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) settled at about $198,000, down from a balance of about $383,000.

Results depend on the facts of each case, and a past result does not promise a similar outcome.

Sales Tax (CDTFA) · 2024

The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) closed a use tax inquiry into a California retailer after we documented that most of its sales took place outside the state.

Results depend on the facts of each case, and a past result does not promise a similar outcome.
