Current IRS Scams
Kristie Carter
Kristie started at R & A CPA’s on December 1, 2008. She attended the University of Arizona, completing her degree in August 2008. During her studies she operated her late husband’s floor covering installation business while taking time to enjoy her two children. In her spare time, she enjoys reading self-help organization books, billiards, and (of course) playing with her children.
Jean Dahlquist
Jean Dahlquist and her family lived in Washington DC for over 15 years—nine blocks from the capitol and six blocks from Union Station and the new SEC building. During part of that time Jean worked as controller of the Washington DC office of BDO Seidman,LLP, the sixth largest CPA firm in the US at the time when Arthur Anderson was still intact. Although Jean had an MBA from South Texas State University, she so admired the level of competence and knowledge of the partners at BDO that she decided to get a CPA. She began working primarily in audit and secondarily in tax at another DC firm and in 2004 got her CPA. Her experience at McQuade Brennan, a firm in downtown DC, was similar to work at R&A in that that the firm dealt primarily with high-end clients. On 9/11 when Jean was at work, her husband Bob was standing outside their home. A low-flying jet roared over their house and crashed minutes later into the Pentagon.

In 2007 the family moved to Arizona, primarily because of Bob and Jean’s disabled son Philip, a quadriplegic. In DC Philip had lived in the basement apartment of their Victorian row. He had little light and never saw the second and third stories where his parents lived. Bob bought 5 acres of flat land east of Benson and built a large, single-story, hexagonalshaped house in which all doors were 3 feet wide with paddle handles. Philip’s bedroom had three windows and a skylight, all of which he covered up as soon as he arrived. In 2007 Jean began working at Evans and Hillebrand, a small CPA firm in Sierra Vista and in December 2008 came to R&A.
