From Command Controller to Tax Rescue Squad.
Stephan spent 20 years in the United States Air Force, retiring as a decorated Command Controller. The role demanded exactly what serious tax cases demand today: coordinated information gathering, disciplined analysis, and a defensible decision — communicated clearly, on time, every time.
After his military career, Stephan earned his CPA, completed graduate-level tax-law education, and became a Certified Tax Resolution Specialist and NTPI Fellow. He founded Legacy Tax & Resolution Services to bring the discipline of an operations center to the tax-resolution industry.
He has represented individuals and businesses nationwide across the full range of resolution work — installment agreements, offers in compromise, penalty abatement, audit defense, payroll-tax cases, and FIRPTA withholding matters — with a written plan of action guiding every case.
