RPM & Associates has operated from 5480 Baltimore Drive in La Mesa's Fletcher Hills corridor since 1978, building an Enrolled Agent tax practice that covers individual returns, business-entity formation, and IRS representation across all administrative levels. Retirement and estate tax planning accounts for the intersection of asset-protection vehicles and insurance policy structures, a coordination layer that parallels the coverage reviews at AAA La Mesa Insurance and Member Services. The firm's ChildCareTaxSpecialists division delivers provider-specific workshops on Schedule C expense documentation, meal-and-snack deduction calculations, and time-space-percentage home-office allocations under IRS Publication 587. Standard individual engagements include Form 1040 preparation with Schedule D capital-gains netting, California Form 540 itemized-versus-standard analysis, and quarterly estimated-payment voucher sequencing for self-employed filers. Rental-property clients receive Schedule E preparation covering MACRS depreciation schedules, passive-activity loss limitations under IRC Section 469, and cost-segregation benefit analysis — a landlord-tax niche served alongside property operators like AMI Property Management. Highest-tier IRS representation includes Offer in Compromise financial analysis using Form 433-A collection-information statements and reasonable-collection-potential calculations under IRC Section 7122.
