Kathryn Hannon
Founder & Partner · Enrolled Agent
Kathryn Hannon spent more than 30 years working at the IRS — in audit, collections, and walk-in taxpayer services — before founding TNT Tax Specialists. That experience means she's seen nearly every type of notice, audit, and collection letter the IRS sends, and she understands how the agency actually works. Today, as an Enrolled Agent — federally authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS — she works directly with clients across Richmond, Katy, Sugar Land, Fulshear, Rosenberg, and Fort Bend County, explaining IRS problems in plain English and handling the details so clients don't have to face the IRS alone.
Taylor Smith, a partner with a background in accounting, supports every case with bookkeeping and records reconstruction — pulling together the receipts, bank records, and books the IRS asks for, so your paperwork holds up before a question ever comes back.
What "IRS Representation" Actually Means
Representation means Kathryn can talk to the IRS for you, so you don't have to make the calls or sit in the meetings yourself.
Once you sign Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative, Kathryn — as your Enrolled Agent, federally authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS — can request your IRS transcripts, respond to notices, discuss your account with the agency, and talk through payment options on your behalf. You stay informed at every step; you just don't have to face the IRS alone.

“Kathryn was very helpful for my husband and I. She helped us to understand things we didn't understand, without trying to upsell us on anything. She actually cares about her customers and what's best for them, and not just making money. Very honest. We absolutely recommend her services!!”

“Kathryn was so helpful. I recently created an LLC and have done my taxes myself but didn't know how to file the LLC. I highly recommend using her to file your taxes. She is super knowledgeable.”

Common Questions
Do I have to come to an office to get help?
No. Most of our work happens by phone, video, and secure document sharing. We're based in Richmond, TX and happy to meet in person, but you don't need to.
How do I know if I need an Enrolled Agent instead of a CPA?
If your issue involves the IRS directly — a notice, an audit, collections, or back taxes — an Enrolled Agent's focus is exactly that. Kathryn is a federally authorized Enrolled Agent; a CPA's license covers broader accounting work and varies by state.
I'm scared to even open the letter. What should I do first?
Open it and check the date and deadline — that's the only urgent step. Then book a free consultation and bring the letter with you. We'll explain what it actually says in plain English.
Will hiring you guarantee the IRS reduces what I owe?
No one can honestly guarantee an outcome with the IRS, and we won't tell you otherwise. What we can promise is a clear explanation of your options and honest advice about which ones fit your situation.
Do you handle business IRS problems too, or just individuals?
Both. We work with individuals and small businesses on notices, audits, unfiled returns, and payment issues.
What's the first step if I want help?
Book a free 1-hour consultation online or call us. We'll ask what's going on and tell you honestly what we think your options are — no obligation to hire us afterward.
General information only — not tax advice for your situation. A professional relationship begins only after a signed engagement letter.
