Enrolled Agent Rhonda Saucedo Launches IRS Debt Resolution Firm in Irvine, CA

Irvine Tax Firm Targets Clients With $25K+ IRS Debt Using Offers in Compromise and Settlement Strategies

Irvine, United States – May 10, 2026 / Strategic Tax Problem Solvers /

Strategic Tax Problem Solvers, a tax resolution firm based in Irvine, California, has officially launched under the leadership of Enrolled Agent Rhonda Saucedo, bringing dedicated IRS debt resolution services to individuals and businesses across California carrying $25,000 or more in federal or state tax debt.

The firm enters the market with a defined client focus and a fixed-fee representation model, targeting taxpayers who face serious consequences such as liens, levies, wage garnishments, and years of unfiled returns.

A Firm Built Around One Specific Problem

Strategic Tax Problem Solvers was structured from the ground up to handle complex tax debt situations rather than general tax preparation. Saucedo, who holds Enrolled Agent status – the highest credential the IRS grants to tax practitioners – brings more than 15 years of experience in tax resolution to the practice.

The firm’s service offerings address the full spectrum of IRS and state tax debt scenarios. These include offer in compromise negotiations, settlement strategies, back filing for multiple unfiled years, audit representation, and installment agreement structuring. Each case is handled under a fixed-fee arrangement, giving clients cost certainty from the initial engagement through resolution.

The Irvine location positions the firm to serve clients throughout California, a state where both individual taxpayers and small business owners frequently encounter compounding tax liability issues tied to self-employment income, payroll obligations, and state Franchise Tax Board assessments alongside federal IRS exposure.

Founder’s Mission Centered on Measurable Client Relief

Saucedo built the practice around a philosophy of ethical, evidence-based representation – applying only the resolution strategies that the IRS formally recognizes and that align with each client’s documented financial situation.

“The clients who come to us are often carrying debt that has grown significantly because they did not know what options were available to them,” said Rhonda Saucedo, Enrolled Agent and Founder of Strategic Tax Problem Solvers. “In many cases, an offer in compromise can settle a $60,000 or $80,000 tax balance for a fraction of that amount, but only when the case is built correctly with accurate financial documentation. Our job is to identify the right strategy and execute it without overpromising the outcome.”

The offer in compromise program, administered by the IRS, allows qualifying taxpayers to settle their tax liability for less than the full amount owed based on demonstrated inability to pay, income level, and asset value. Not every taxpayer qualifies, and Saucedo’s firm conducts eligibility analysis before recommending the strategy.

Fixed-Fee Structure Designed for Transparency

One structural distinction of the practice is its fixed-fee billing model. Unlike hourly representation, fixed fees allow clients to understand the total cost of their case before work begins. For taxpayers already under financial pressure from IRS collection activity, this approach removes an additional layer of uncertainty from the resolution process.

The firm also handles back filing for clients who have not submitted tax returns for multiple years – a situation that often triggers IRS enforcement action and prevents taxpayers from accessing resolution programs until their filing compliance is restored. Bringing a client into full filing compliance is frequently the first step before any settlement or installment negotiation can proceed.

Audit representation services are available for clients facing IRS correspondence audits or field examinations, with Saucedo and her team managing all communication with IRS agents directly on the client’s behalf.

Strategic Tax Problem Solvers accepts cases exclusively from clients with $25,000 or more in IRS or state tax debt, reflecting the firm’s focus on substantive resolution work rather than routine tax matters. The minimum threshold ensures that the firm’s resources and resolution strategies are applied where the financial and legal stakes are highest for the taxpayer.
