The record lists: Annual Filing Season Program record. It is one individual's IRS preparer record, not a firm license or a directory listing. It does not prove service quality.

(SOS file 0161297500), status Active franchise taxpayer, checked 2026-09-25. It confirms a registered entity, not a license to practice accountancy.
- Operating 1+ year (registry formation date): The registry records 2001-01-22 as the SOS charter date as recorded by the Texas Comptroller.
