Frequently asked questions

PacifyTax offers personalized tax services with in-depth expertise and a strong grasp of U.S. tax laws. As a local firm, your tax issue is handled directly by our owner, Hari Haran, EA. We provide personal support, ensuring you speak with a local tax expert who listens and advises you with a teacher's approach, rather than dealing with a 1-800 sales representative.

An Enrolled Agent is a federally licensed tax practitioner who specializes exclusively in taxation. Authorized by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, EAs hold unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before all administrative levels of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for audits, collections, and appeals.

While Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) are state-licensed and possess broad training across auditing and corporate accounting, EAs specialize solely in federal tax law and tax resolution. If you are facing complex tax audits, multi-year IRS tax debts, an EA offers deep, highly targeted defense expertise with expert knowledge of tax defense.

Because tax situations vary wildly, ranging from simple individual filings to complex tax defaults, we do not offer a flat, one-size-fits-all price. During your confidential initial consultation, we diagnose your exact tax footprint and quote a transparent agreement mapping out the clear scope of work.

No. At PacifyTax, we outline our exact scope of work inside a signed contract before any operational steps are taken. If the IRS brings up unexpected tax years or complications outside our initial agreement, we discuss modifications with you first—ensuring you face zero surprise bills.
