What is an Enrolled Agent?
An Enrolled Agent is a federally licensed tax professional authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS, with unlimited representation rights.
Complimentary IRS Tax Problem Discovery Call
We start by listening. We’ll learn what is happening with the IRS or state taxing authority and explain the next step we recommend.
Your Resolution Is Our Priority
We focus on moving your case toward the best available resolution based on your facts, circumstances, and the tax law.
We Keep you Updated at Every Step
We keep you informed throughout the process, explain what is happening in plain language, and help you understand what comes next.
The Right IRS Strategy Can Make All the Difference
Not every IRS problem should be handled the same way.
Before recommending an Offer in Compromise, payment plan, or other resolution, we look at the full history of the account. That can include IRS transcripts, assessment dates, Collection Statute Expiration Dates, and events that may have affected how long the IRS can legally collect.
Sometimes those details can materially change the best strategy.
At Fairwinds, we do not start with a program and try to fit you into it. We start with the facts and determine the resolution strategy from there.
Experienced representation is not just knowing the IRS resolution options. It is knowing when each one should, and should not, be used.

— Jennifer Kirsten Ginther, EA
IRS Resolution Options
The right solution depends on your specific facts and circumstances.
-
If you cannot pay your IRS balance in full, we can evaluate available payment options and help establish an installment agreement appropriate for your financial situation.
-
An Offer in Compromise may allow qualifying taxpayers to resolve an IRS debt for less than the full amount owed. We evaluate whether an OIC is appropriate and, when it is, prepare and present the case to the IRS.
-
Depending on the circumstances, you may qualify for relief from certain IRS penalties. We evaluate available penalty-relief options, including First Time Abatement and reasonable-cause relief when applicable.
-
When paying the IRS would create a financial hardship, Currently Not Collectible status may temporarily pause active collection. We evaluate eligibility and present the financial information needed to support the request.
-
If you are being held responsible for tax connected to a jointly filed return, we can evaluate whether you may qualify for Innocent Spouse or other available spousal relief and represent you through the process.
-
The IRS generally has a limited period of time to collect assessed tax debt. We review IRS records and collection statute dates and consider how that timing may affect your overall resolution strategy.
-
Certain tax debts may be affected by bankruptcy. When bankruptcy is being considered, we can analyze the IRS tax information and coordinate with qualified bankruptcy counsel so the tax and legal issues are addressed together.
-
In certain situations, lien discharge or subordination may help when selling or refinancing property. We can evaluate the available IRS lien-relief procedures and assist with the appropriate request.
-
If the IRS has levied wages, bank accounts, or other property, we can evaluate the circumstances, communicate with the IRS, and seek release of the levy when the requirements for relief are met while addressing the underlying tax debt.

“When dealing with the IRS, it is nothing short of confusing and scary. Jennifer was the savior that I needed. From beginning to end, she has been there every step of the way and I would not trust anyone else with anything tax related other than her!”
“I had a client that needed tax help from an IRS audit letter. Jennifer was able to take care of it in a timely and judicious manner. Jennifer also did this directly with the IRS to absolve the situation. I will absolutely request her for any future needs. In short, we were very much pleased with the results.”
“Jennifer was patient, professional and successful in helping several of my nonprofit clients resolve their payroll tax issues. Without her perseverance and expertise, these nonprofits likely would have had to close their doors. We are thankful to partner with her when the need arises!”
“I had gone with a tax attorney in previous years to clean up some tax issues, and things were still a mess. Jen helped fix everything and explained where things had gone wrong. She was thorough, professional, and there for me throughout the process. You can tell she truly cares about her clients.”
