Dolores L. Pack, EA
Owner, Packs Tax & Tax Advisory
Unlike standard tax preparers, Enrolled Agents (EA) are federally authorized by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to represent taxpayers before all administrative levels of the Internal Revenue Service.
The Enrolled Agent Advantage
Not all tax preparers are created equal. When faced with complex returns, IRS notices, or audit inquiries, having an authorized Enrolled Agent on your side makes all the difference.
Unlimited Representation Rights Before the IRS
Enrolled Agents (EA) and Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) have unlimited representation rights before the Internal Revenue Service. As a licensed Enrolled Agent, Dolores L. Pack can represent you on any tax matter regardless of who prepared the original return.
IRS Audit Defense
We communicate directly with IRS examiners on your behalf, organizing documentation, defending deductions, and protecting your legal rights during correspondence or in-person examinations.
Collections & Back Taxes
Facing tax liens, levies, or unpaid balances? We negotiate realistic solutions including Offer in Compromise (OIC), Installment Agreements, and penalty relief requests.
Formal IRS Appeals
If you disagree with an IRS examination finding or collection action, an Enrolled Agent can file an administrative appeal with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals to contest the determination.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about tax consulting, representation, and filing with Dolores L. Pack, EA.
What is an Enrolled Agent (EA) and how does it differ from other tax preparers?
An Enrolled Agent is a tax professional licensed directly by the federal government through the Internal Revenue Service. Unlike unenrolled tax preparers who are restricted in what they can do, Enrolled Agents hold unlimited representation rights before all administrative levels of the IRS—meaning Dolores can represent you during audits, collections, and appeals without you needing to interact directly with IRS revenue officers.
What is an Offer in Compromise (OIC) and who qualifies?
An Offer in Compromise is an IRS program that allows eligible taxpayers to settle tax debts for less than the full amount owed. Qualification is based on doubt as to collectibility, doubt as to liability, or effective tax administration. We perform a detailed financial analysis to evaluate your reasonable collection potential before submitting an offer.
Can Packs Tax handle back taxes and unfiled returns for past years?
Yes. We regularly assist taxpayers who have fallen behind multiple years. We obtain IRS transcripts, reconstruct income and deductible expenses, prepare accurate historical returns, and work to abate failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties where possible.
