Tax preparation for Denver, without the downtown parking
Denver clients get a preparer who is close enough to sit down with and far enough out of the city to park at. Charles Trautman, EA, works from one office in Lone Tree, about twenty minutes down I-25, and handles most Denver returns start to finish by portal and phone.
A Denver-area preparer who can also argue your case
Denver has no shortage of places to get a return typed up. Far fewer of them can still help you in March of the following year, when a letter arrives questioning what was filed. An Enrolled Agent license is federal and it carries the authority to represent a taxpayer before the IRS directly, which is a different job from data entry.
That matters most for the returns Denver generates a lot of: contractors and gig income on a Schedule C, rental property, equity compensation from a downtown employer, and people who moved into or out of Colorado partway through a year. Those are the ones where a question tends to surface later, and where having someone who can answer the IRS on your behalf is worth more than the hour it took to file.
- Individual, family, and small-business returns, prepared and e-filed
- IRS representation for audits, collections, and back returns
- Schedule C, rental, equity, and part-year Colorado returns
What a client says
Chuck is great! He got more money back for us this year that we were not even aware of (we didn't know summer camps and child care expenses were tax deductible). We got audited last year using TurboTax. Chuck redid our tax and we ended up paying much less than the IRS calculated.
One office, real hours, easy to reach
Tax Shop works out of a single office at 9233 Park Meadows Drive, Suite 202, Lone Tree, in the Panera Bread building at C-470 and Yosemite. For Denver clients it is a straight run south on I-25, and the portal covers the rest when a drive is not worth it.
