Enrolled Agents authorized by the U.S. Treasury who specialize in the complex tax situations most CPAs and TurboTax users get wrong, for California business owners, real estate investors, and creative professionals.
If your tax situation is anything other than W-2 + standard deduction, the typical accountant is leaving money on the table. Every. Single. Year.
A real estate investor's tax return looks nothing like an actor's. Most tax pros treat them the same, and that's where deductions die.
A simple CP2000 notice can spiral into liens, levies, and audits when nobody knows how to respond properly, or even who's authorized to.
Filing your return in April is too late. The money was already made or lost in October. Without proactive year-round planning, you're just reporting damage.
1099s, K-1s, rental income, royalties, equity: California's tax code punishes the disorganized. The complexity becomes the liability.
S-corps, LLCs, partnerships. Quarterly planning, deduction optimization, entity structure reviews.
Depreciation, cost segregation, 1031 exchanges, passive activity rules, short-term rental loopholes.
Actors, influencers, content creators, freelance creatives with multi-state and multi-1099 complexity.
Doctors, dentists, consultants with high income, retirement planning needs, and practice ownership.
Had a great experience with this group. I worked directly with one of their associates for my business and personal return. They were super helpful and knowledgeable!
Stephen Hall is the best! I've been working with Stephen since 2004. He provides professional business advice as well as tax planning for both my personal and professional life. Not many people can say this, but I have a great time when I go to get my taxes prepared.
Robert Hall and Associates saved us! Tax prep for my business has always been a nightmare! I received more tax advice on how to run my business in the one hour consultation than I have in the past 5 years combined from my tax professional! They are friendly, knowledgeable, reasonable, and professional!!
After many years of doing my own taxes, and experiencing the stress and anxiety that goes into that, we have now been using Robert Hall & Associates for several years, and are so thrilled with the service that we get. Now, tax season isn't a huge headache, and we know that our personal and business tax filings are going to be done right, and by professionals.
Annual tax season is almost completely stress-free thanks to Tony who is smart and organized. He explains and takes care of it all while remaining very upbeat and pleasant. I completely recommend them for taxes and for lots of informative helpful hints in the world of finances. A very qualified professional you want helping you to grow or sustain your business.

Enrolled Agents (EAs) are federally licensed directly by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and specialize exclusively in taxation. CPAs are state-licensed and cover a broader range of accounting work. For tax-specific questions, planning, and IRS representation, an EA is often the more focused choice. Robert W. Hall is also a National Tax Practice Institute Fellow, a credential earned by a small percentage of EAs nationwide.
It's a complimentary 30-minute consultation by phone or in person at our Glendale office. We'll ask about your situation, what's been frustrating, and your goals. We'll then tell you honestly whether we can help, what we'd recommend, and what it would cost. Zero pressure, zero commitment.
Absolutely, and the sooner the better. Most IRS notices have strict response windows, and our IRS Representation team has handled audits, collections, and appeals for decades. We can step in, become your authorized representative, and communicate with the IRS directly so you don't have to.
We're based in Glendale and most of our clients are California-based, but as Enrolled Agents we're federally licensed and can represent clients before the IRS in all 50 states. We regularly handle multi-state returns for clients with property, business, or income across state lines.
That's exactly the kind of work we do most. We prepare around 10,000 returns a year and the vast majority involve multiple income streams, entity structures, or industry-specific strategy. Complexity isn't a problem. It's the whole reason to call us instead of a generalist.
One free 30-minute consultation. We'll tell you exactly where you stand, what's at risk, and what's possible. No pitch. No pressure.
