Mr. Parsons is an extremely talented and competent tax professional. Motu Novu very often relies on him for all matters of personal taxation of individuals with an international situation, and always finds his answers to be timely, accurate, and useful. Highly recommended for expats -- both U.S. expats abroad and international expats in the U.S.A.
Ed's analytical skills and attention to detail enable him to make quick and accurate decisions in a fast paced work environment. Ed operates with integrity and continously looks for ways to improve. It was always a pleasure to work with head, we benefited from his financial knowledge and he is truly missed.Ed will be an asset to anyone seeking his professional assistance.
Ed worked for me as a project accountant on several complex projects at Goodwill. He did a great job for us and was extremely professional in all his work. Key attributes of Ed's work included excellent followup, frequent status reports and clear documentation. He completed the work on a timely basis and ensured that we were satisfied with his work. I would not hesitate to hire him back.
I've worked with Ed for over three years. Ed goes out of his way to find the right answer and is quick to seek out others for confirmation. He is always working to find the best possible solutions for his clients.
Ed is fantastic and is very knowledgeable and tech savvy. We have collaborated on a number of clients together and I highly recommend him. Thanks Ed!
Ed is amazing! International taxes are complicated and he was very patient explaining everything and what needed to be done. Ed is very thorough and easy to work with. I highly recommend him!
Ed brings analytical, practical and international experience to bear for his work and his clients. He is the real deal when it comes to understanding complex financial situations, whether it be personal, or commercial, individual or multi million dollar situations.And, he's got the best sense of humor of any CPA I know. Ed's ability to cut through the noise and produce key results has been outstanding.I recommend Ed for any financial issue!Best, John
Ed is a dynamic, self-starter, and intelligent person with whom I had the pleasure of working at IdentiCert. Ed really impressed me with his grasp of the big picture and then taking care of all the accounting and tax issues in the best interest of the company. Ed took on initiatives of his own accord. He also managed to finish his Masters degree while working for us full-time, which was very impressive. I would gladly work with Ed again if I had the opportunity.
If you have Tax issues, you need to reach out to Ed! He will resolve them. I highly recommend Ed!
Ed was incredible to work with. I had several years of complex state and federal tax issues and a total bookkeeping mess. He tackled everything with clarity, patience, and a thorough approach that gave me peace of mind. Thanks to him, I could keep my focus on my family and businesses while he handled the heavy lifting. I highly recommend Ed if you need someone trustworthy and detail-oriented to help you get back on track.
Ed has saved me from dealing with Federal agencies and also the State. Ed shielded me from phone calls and letters. Ed was very quick and prompt to remove a 100% Levy that was put on me, he resolved this within a 48-hour time period. Ed constantly keeps me up to date on the status of my situation, what he has achieved, and what the game plan is for the next day. Ed has resolved my situation for a very small fraction of what the IRS and the state were stating that I owed. However, the best part about working with Ed and his team is that they make you feel like they care about you. This is not a giant corporation. They treat you like a human and show empathy and they all care very much about their customers and their customer’s situations. If you have tax issues or even think you might have a tax related situation, then you need to reach out to Ed. I wish I would have reached out to him years ago. You won’t regret it. Ed and his team has turned a world of stress into something that can actually be managed and allows me to continue to focus on my work and my responsibilities.
I have worked with ED a number of years and I have found few persons sharper.Ed is a brilliant tax guy.Ed is fast, affordable, and relates to ALL clients very well.He works across many sectors of tax.He speaks other languages and communicates very well with every client.He is a pure 5 star guy.You will not go wrong.
I was made to believe by the IRS that I owed over $8k in back taxes. I called Mr. Parsons and in less than one week I owe nothing !
Ed is professional and knowledgeable. He is always available for any questions i might have. There is no one better for my expat taxes.
Pricing (Passport Revocation / Certification)
You’re not paying for “advice.” You’re paying for a transcript-driven plan, prepared filings/requests, and persistent follow-through until the account reflects that you’re back in good standing.
Start Work (Case Open + Immediate Action)
We open the case, pull/interpret transcripts, confirm certification status, and build the fastest path to State clearance. You get a clear action plan with what’s realistic and what’s not.
Certification Cleared (Account Shows Reversal)
This covers completion of the agreed case work to push the account to a cleared status and follow-through until your transcript/account reflects that the certification has been reversed/cleared.
Urgent Travel Booked?
Expedited timeline strategy for departure — without guessing. If you’re under an IRS passport certification (CP508C / IRC 7345), travel planning becomes a sequence problem: what the Department of State can do now, and what must be cleared with the IRS certification reversal.
Passport + IRS
CP508C / Certification
Option 1: Urgent Travel Service (State Dept)
If you’re traveling internationally soon, the State Department has Urgent Travel appointments (generally for travel within 14 days). Appointment-only and you must bring printed proof of travel.
Option 2: Life-or-Death Emergency (State Dept)
Separate track for qualifying life-or-death emergencies. This is not “I really need to travel” — it’s a specific eligibility standard and documentation set.
If You’re Abroad: Limited-Validity Return Passport
If you’re outside the U.S., the State Department may issue a limited-validity passport for direct return to the United States in some situations.
Case Evaluation: What I Review (and Why It Matters)
This evaluation is designed to confirm what’s blocking your passport and identify the fastest compliant path to IRS decertification and State clearance. You’ll get a clear plan and a fixed-fee quote—before you commit.
What Your Evaluation Includes
Passport revocation cases are transcript-driven. I verify the certification, identify the root cause, and determine which lever resolves the issue with the lowest disruption and the lowest sustainable payment.
Account, filing, and balance details to confirm certification status and what years/drivers are creating the problem.
Unfiled years can inflate the balance via substitutes-for-return and missing credits. I map what changes after compliance.
I evaluate whether penalties are driving the “seriously delinquent” total and whether abatement is realistic based on facts.
I review income/expenses/assets to determine what the IRS is likely to accept and how to present the numbers correctly.
I evaluate installment agreement options and structure the lowest amount that is realistic and sustainable under IRS rules.
I consider collection timing, pauses (tolling), and practical deadlines so we choose the strategy that moves fastest without surprises.
Outcome focus: The evaluation is built to determine what will trigger decertification as efficiently as possible. Agency processing times vary, but your plan is built around the steps we can control.
You Don’t Need Noise. You Need Control.
If you received a CP508C notice, had a passport renewal denied, or discovered certification under IRC §7345, this is not a “file a return and hope” situation. This is a technical IRS certification issue affecting the U.S. Department of State.
Most People Panic — Then Call the Wrong Person
Tax prep mills do not handle certification reversals. Many attorneys focus on litigation — not transcript-level diagnostic sequencing. Passport cases require coordination between IRS compliance and State processing.
I Work Transcript-First
Before strategy, we confirm:
• Whether certification is active • Which tax years are non-compliant • Whether balances exceed statutory thresholds • Whether installment agreements or compliance corrections are required
No guessing. No assumptions. We use official IRS transcripts.
Clear Workflow. No Surprises.
Fixed fee quote after interview. 50% to begin work. Defined checklist. Estimated 10 business days for preparation phase. Follow-up with IRS included within scope.
Direct Access — Not a Case Number
You communicate directly with me throughout the case. Direct WhatsApp access. No call centers. No handoffs.
This Is About Restoring Travel — Safely
A passport reversal requires proper compliance correction, IRS acknowledgment, and updated certification status before State clearance. Sequence matters.
