IRS Representation for E-2 Visa Entrepreneurs

Get peace of mind with a CPA who speaks the IRS’s language — and understands your E-2 visa obligations.

Running a business under the E-2 visa can be challenging enough. The last thing you need is an unexpected letter or notice from the IRS.
At E2Visa.ca, we represent Canadian entrepreneurs and E-2 investors in all IRS matters — from routine correspondence to full audits — ensuring your rights are protected and your visa status remains unaffected.

We help you respond correctly, resolve quickly, and stay compliant confidently.

E-2 investors operate in a high-scrutiny environment — especially with foreign ownership and cross-border transactions.
Even small mistakes in reporting can trigger IRS reviews or penalties.
Our CPA-led representation ensures you:

• Avoid unnecessary penalties or double taxation
• Correct errors before they escalate
• Maintain clean financial records for USCIS renewals
• Get professional communication with the IRS (so you don’t have to handle it yourself)

✅ IRS Notice Response
We handle all IRS correspondence — reviewing the issue, drafting responses, and managing deadlines on your behalf.

✅ Audit Representation
We represent you during field or correspondence audits, preparing all financial documents and defending your filings.

✅ Penalty Abatement Requests
We negotiate with the IRS to reduce or remove penalties for reasonable cause (late filing, incorrect entity setup, or reporting delays).

✅ Back Tax Filings & Catch-Up Compliance
We prepare prior-year returns, correct Form 5472 filings, and restore your entity’s good standing.

✅ IRS Installment Agreements
We help you structure manageable payment plans if taxes are owed, ensuring you remain compliant while keeping your business running.

✅ Foreign-Owned Entity Compliance
We review filings for Forms 5472, 8858, 8865, and 8938 — essential for foreign-controlled U.S. companies and E-2 investors.

✅ State Tax Resolution
We also coordinate with state revenue agencies if your business has nexus or multi-state operations.
