Carl Mankowski, CPA

Carl Mankowski is a Certified Public Accountant with specialized expertise in two critical areas that real estate investors need most: resolving serious IRS tax problems and creating tax strategies for real estate investors.

Unlike general CPAs who dabble in many industries, or tax resolution firms that don't understand real estate, Carl combines deep knowledge of both disciplines. This unique expertise means he can not only help you resolve back taxes, liens, and IRS disputes—he can also structure your real estate holdings to minimize future tax liability and maximize your wealth.

Carl's Expertise Includes:

Real Estate Tax Strategies:

  • Real estate professional qualification
  • Cost segregation studies
  • 1031 exchange planning
  • Short-term rental tax optimization
  • Long-term rental strategies
  • Entity structuring (LLC, S-Corp, partnerships)
  • Passive loss optimization

Tax Resolution Services:

  • IRS back taxes and payment negotiations
  • Tax liens and levy release
  • Offers in Compromise
  • Audit representation
  • Penalty abatement

Whether you're facing an IRS crisis or looking to reduce your tax burden on your real estate portfolio or other small business, Carl provides the specialized knowledge you need to protect your assets and grow your wealth.

Why Real Estate Investors Choose Carl Mankowski

Real Estate Expertise Plus Tax Resolution
