Jack Cohen, CPA
Jack's IRS background includes 20 years as a field audit manager for small businesses and
Fortune 500 corporations. He was one of the most aggressive tax auditors who sent people to
prison for tax fraud. Now the bulldog is on your side! In 2006, he was awarded the 'Internal
Revenue Service Employee of the Year' for large and mid-sized businesses nationwide. That's
right - #1 in the nation! Jack knows his way around the IRS; he knows the 'system' and how to
get things done within it.
Imagine saving tens or hundreds of thousands of tax dollars by trading by simply creating sub-s
corporation or multi-member LLC (depending on your situation). Your spouse will be thrilled to
learn that your trading profits can be used to fund a powerful retirement plan such as a SEP IRA and a group health
plan allowing you to legally keep even more money out of the grasp of the IRS.
