Why Kelly Started TaxRxCenter

As the principal of EveryDayCPA, Inc., Kelly was well positioned to understand the stress that overdue tax balances can cause individuals and business owners. Tax regulations can be overwhelming; over 70% of taxpayers with overdue tax balances do nothing to resolve their issues. Kelly envisioned a better way, grounded in the belief that knowledge is power. He created TaxRxCenter - Non Profit Division, a 501(c)(3) non-profit that utilizes tax resolution experts providing pro-bono services to teach taxpayers how they can resolve their own tax balances. Kelly believes that tax resolution experts can do well by doing good, so he paired that non-profit with an entity where those very same experts could assist taxpayers who wanted more tax resolution options at reasonable rates informed by TaxRx non-profit ethos.

In short, Kelly created TaxRx because he knew that there was a need for a different tax resolution model, one based in service, not driven by lien chasers or "tax experts" who don't care what happens to you as long as they get paid. Created because Kelly had the right combination of leadership, management, and tax resolution skills, TaxRx is now here to help individuals and families live happier, healthier lives without the stress and anxiety caused by tax collectors' threats to seize assets, income and property. Is there a better reason to get up in the morning and go to work than to make a difference?

When not boxing with the IRS and state tax collectors, Kelly loves to box in the ring at the gym! To manage stress and stay fit and healthy, he runs daily. To keep his mind fit, he reads Sun Tzu, Caesar and Yeats. Born and reared in land-locked Topeka, KS, his passion is nonetheless the sea: sailing and scuba diving. He splits his time between his four daughters in the Kansas City area, his financée in Minnesota and, in winter, the warmer climes of Florida and Texas.
