Jessica Demirdjian — an IRS Enrolled Agent holding both a Master of Taxation and a Master of Accountancy from the University of San Diego — founded Lotus Accounting and Tax Services in 2020 and runs it from Suite 101B at 4075 Park Boulevard. As an EA, Demirdjian carries unlimited practice rights before the IRS for examinations, collections, and appeals, and matters that escalate into a Tax Court petition get handed to litigators at Berman Flury while Lotus retains the tax-technical workup. IRS Representation is the firm's signature line: penalty abatement, Offer in Compromise filings, installment agreements, CP2000 responses, and audit defense across both federal IRS and California Franchise Tax Board matters. Demirdjian also works as a government-sector accountant — currently with the County of San Diego, previously with the City of Del Mar — and has volunteered five-plus seasons with the IRS VITA free-tax-prep program. Self-employed clients frequently arrive with a Schedule C but no business-policy coverage, which sends Lotus to the commercial-lines desk at JPL Insurance Services for a general-liability, cyber, and errors-and-omissions review before the next tax year closes. The hardest engagements layer several tax years of unfiled returns, an active IRS collections hold, and an Offer in Compromise — requiring reconstructed income records, substantiated deductions, and a financial-disclosure Form 433-A built from scratch.
