Whelan JD CPA is a former IRS attorney and certified public accountant who currently represents clients before the IRS Collection division as well as audited taxpayers for a variety of IRS tax issues in Chicago and across Illinois. The firm concentrates its practice in representing individuals and businesses before both the Internal Revenue Service and the Illinois Department of Revenue.
