Jessie Seaman, Esq & EA, is a licensed Florida attorney and
IRS Enrolled Agent. Jessie brings over ten years of state and federal tax
controversy and representation to Community Tax clients. Prior to joining
Community Tax, she spent over seven years with a leading national tax
resolution firm. She has overseen tens of thousands of tax resolution cases
from the simplest financial privacy plans to the to the most complex business cases
and high-profile celebrity clients.
Jessie is a Florida Native, growing up Boca Raton and moving to
Tampa in 2000 for her undergraduate studies. While attending the University of
South Florida, Jessie studied abroad in Costa Rica and eventually graduated
with a double major: B.A. in Philosophy & B.A. in Political Science. In
2006, she was offered a scholarship from Florida Coastal School of Law in
Jacksonville, FL, where she graduated with a Juris Doctorate in 2009. During
law school, Jessie interned with the ACLU, worked at Learn to Read, a local
non-profit advocating for adult literacy, and was chosen by the Florida Coastal
Academic Success Department to mentor incoming students on how to be successful
in law school.
Jessie is a member of the Florida Bar, Tax Section, National
Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA), CERCA, and National Tax Practice
Institute Fellowship. She is a leading voice within the tax resolution
community. Most recently she was asked
to teach continuing education courses for the National Association of
Accountancy (NSA) and be a lead Instructor at both national conferences for
NAEA. She has also served as an adjunct professor teaching various courses
including Business Law, State and Local Taxation, Contemporary Business Ethics,
and an exam preparation class for the Enrolled Agents Examination. Jessie truly
has a passion for tax controversy work and found her passion in this niche
field because it is ever-evolving, applicable to all, and in many cases
unfairly enforced. As the daughter of small business owners, she is especially
passionate about helping business owners understand and overcome their tax
challenges. Jessie even helped form and operate a pro bono tax resolution
clinic in North Florida to assist those taxpayers who simply could not afford
to hire professional representation for IRS and state tax issues.
