Jim Jenkins has been solving America’s most difficult tax predicaments for more than two decades. As a scholar of tax law and Internal Revenue Service procedures, Jim has amassed one of the finest computerized tax research libraries in southeastern Michigan. Jim has the proficiency and finesse needed to find answers to large and small tax questions.

Jim is a product of southeast Michigan. He graduated from the Detroit Institute of Technology and became a Certified Public accountant in 1976. Jim worked for two of Michigan’s most prominent accounting firms before opening the doors of Jenkins & Co., Certified Public Accounts, in 1980, which now employs a full-time staff of ten. Jim’s knowledgeable nature and his honest, but aggressive, approach mean his clients avoid unnecessary audits and take immediate advantage of recent changes in tax laws and procedures. His years of experience with IRS audits and negotiations are also a significant plus for his clients.

In 1990, Jim put his insight and resources to work for taxpayers and tax prepares around the country by creating Tax Research Services, Inc. This toll-free research hotline has attracted puzzled taxpayers, but mostly tax prepares, bookkeepers and accountants in need of a second opinion or who have a specific tax problem.

Jim has also developed an unusual niche. Early in his career he encountered a number of clients who had failed to file a tax return for one or more years. He found he had a special talent for getting these non-filers back in the IRS loop without them losing everything. In 1994, Jim authored a book titled “Failure to File”, in two editions, one for non-filers and one for accountants.

Jim has spoken before numerous organizations on a variety of financial issues. His personality and astute knowledge have garnered him many invitations.
