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.

“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
Can you talk to the IRS for me so I don’t have to?
Yes. As an Enrolled Agent, Kathryn is federally authorized to represent you before the IRS — handling calls, letters, and meetings on your behalf once you've signed a power of attorney.
Is the first consultation really free?
Yes. Your first consultation is a free, no-obligation 1-hour conversation about what's going on and how we might help — available in person (by appointment), phone, or video. There's no cost and no pressure to hire us afterward.
What's the difference between an Enrolled Agent and a CPA?
Both can prepare tax returns and represent you before the IRS with unlimited rights. An Enrolled Agent (EA) is a credential focused specifically on taxation, authorized federally by the IRS. A CPA's license covers broader accounting work and is issued state by state.
Can you help if I never filed a prior-year return, or need to amend one?
Yes, we prepare prior-year returns and amended returns. If you have unfiled returns from past years, that also overlaps with our IRS resolution work — see our back taxes and unfiled returns page for more.
How do I send you my documents?
Once you're a client, we'll set you up with secure access to our client portal for sharing documents. Please don't email or upload your Social Security number or tax documents through this website — the portal is the safe way to send anything sensitive.
General information only — not tax advice for your situation. A professional relationship begins only after a signed engagement letter.
