Do you want to minimize your tax liability? Whether you are being audited by the IRS, need your tax return prepared, have unfiled tax return(s), or have any other tax issue, you can benefit from our expertise and experience.

The current U.S. tax code called the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) — over 2,600 pages long — is complex.  Moreover, the tax code changes so frequently that most people do not have time to stay up to date with the changes.  

Listed in Yelp’s top ten tax experts in Chicago, SRJ Consulting has the expertise you need to use the tax code in your favor to minimize your taxes.

Experience and Expertise

When results matter, professional experience and expertise count.  For over four decades, Shiv R. Jhawar has been in private tax practice in Chicago under the firm name of SRJ Consulting. With decades of experience, Jhawar is skilled at getting to the root cause of a tax problem and resolve it with the IRS. 

In 1979, Jhawar earned his Enrolled Agent (EA) credential — the highest credential awarded by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). As an enrolled agent licensed by the U.S. Department of Treasury, Shiv R. Jhawar can speak directly to the IRS on your behalf in any tax matter including IRS audit, appeal, and collection. You can check the credentials of a tax professional through the IRS Public Directory of Tax professionals. You can access NAEA database to view a list of enrolled agents in a specific area.

Only EAs, CPAs, and attorneys are licensed to practice before the IRS.  Note that EAs are federally licensed, meaning they can practice  in all 50 states in the United States. CPAs and attorneys, on the other hand, are state-licensed to practice only in their licensing state.
