About the Connecticut Tax Resolution Service

Purpose

The Connecticut Tax Resolution Service was founded by Howard Zarabet, bringing almost 20 years of experience in preparing income taxes and defending tax clients from IRS and state tax claims. The service focuses on providing compassionate support to individuals and businesses in distressing situations with tax authorities. We are not a national tax resolution “mill” and do not aim to be. We are a local firm specializing in tax resolution, handling a limited number of cases at a time, where you receive the personalized care your unique tax resolution case deserves. Offering a lifeline to clients in trouble with the IRS and the state is what we are about.

Professional Background

I graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park with a degree in marketing. I then pursued further education at UCLA, focusing on accounting. During my career, I have worked with high net worth individuals in a boutique firm in Beverly Hills and conducted audit work with BDO Seidman in New York City. Later on, I shifted my focus to working with individuals and small businesses in local and regional firms.

In 2000, I founded SigningsHotline.com, a successful website that gained recognition in Sports Illustrated and other sports publications. SigningsHotline.com became well-known as the primary resource for sports autograph collectors.

I hold licenses as a CPA and an Enrolled Agent, and I am also a Certified Tax Resolution Specialist. My primary aim is to assist individuals and small businesses in resolving their issues with the IRS and state taxing authorities. Additionally, I am a member of the Connecticut Society of CPAs and the American Society of Tax Problem Solvers.

Personal Life

I have been married 25+ years (to the same amazing woman!). We have three daughters, two of which are twins, who are my greatest joys, but my chocolate lab Charlie is a close second.

After discussing your tax resolution issues, I would be happy to talk about 1950s Chicago blues, guitars and basses, foreign sports cars, the NY Mets, and the benefits of living in Italy!
