Professional Standards

As an Enrolled Agent (EA), I am federally credentialed to represent taxpayers before the IRS in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories. Enrolled Agents, CPAs, and tax attorneys are the only professionals with unlimited representation rights before the IRS.

Credentialed tax professionals are held to strict ethical and professional standards established by the U.S. Department of Treasury under Circular 230. We are required to maintain ongoing continuing education and adhere to rules of conduct that protect taxpayers and ensure integrity in all dealings with the IRS.

You can verify the credentials of any tax professional using the IRS Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers with Credentials and Select Qualifications, available on the official IRS website.

Privacy and Confidentiality

Protecting client privacy is one of my highest priorities. All personal and financial information shared with Machado Tax Resolution is handled with the same level of confidentiality required of federally credentialed tax professionals under Circular 230.

Communications, records, and case details are kept strictly confidential and are never disclosed without your consent, except as required by law. I follow secure data-handling practices and use encrypted platforms for document exchange and client communication.

Whether you are seeking representation, tax preparation, or ongoing compliance support, you can trust that your information will always be treated with the utmost respect and discretion.

Mission Statement

I believe language should never be a barrier to financial empowerment or fair representation before the IRS. At Machado Tax Resolution, my commitment to accessibility and fairness means that language accommodations are always provided as a free courtesy—never as a premium service.

My mission is to make expert tax resolution, tax preparation, and ongoing compliance support accessible, transparent, and compassionate. Every client deserves to be heard and understood, no matter what language they speak or where they are in their financial journey.

My approach is built on trust, education, and advocacy. I take the time to explain your options clearly, develop a tailored resolution strategy, and guide you through each step with integrity and precision.
