Michael Foster, EA
Michael Foster, began his career working with some of the nation’s largest tax firms, including H&R Block, Liberty Tax, and Jackson Hewitt. Over time, he saw that many hardworking taxpayers and small businesses were being overcharged for basic tax preparation and audit support.
That realization inspired him to start Foster Ventures Tax Services — a company dedicated to helping low- and moderate-income individuals, self-employed professionals, seniors, single parents and small business owners receive the maximum refund they deserve while staying IRS-compliant and stress-free throughout the process.
Determined to make a difference and to be taken seriously by both his clients and the IRS, Michael became an Enrolled Agent — the highest credential awarded by the IRS. This designation allows him to represent taxpayers before the IRS in all tax matters and ensures his clients receive trusted, professional, and affordable service.
Our mission is simple: to make expert tax help accessible to everyone. Whether you need individual tax preparation, small business filing, tax resolution, or year-round tax planning, Foster Ventures Tax Services is here to support you every step of the way.
Why Our Fees Are Lower — Without Compromising Quality
At Foster Ventures Tax Services, we believe professional tax help shouldn’t come with a high price tag. Unlike large national firms such as H&R Block, Liberty Tax, or Jackson Hewitt, we operate independently — which means no franchise fees, corporate overhead, or inflated pricing structures.
Our lower costs allow us to pass those savings directly to you. You’ll receive expert service from an Enrolled Agent with over a decade of experience, not a seasonal employee. We focus on accuracy, integrity, and personalized care for every client — ensuring you pay only what’s fair and receive the maximum refund you deserve.

“As a single mom, every dollar counts. Michael’s fee was much lower than Jackson Hewitt, and he helped me get credits I didn’t even know I qualified for. He really cares about helping people, not just charging big prices.”

Over the course of the year, I spent at least $5000 on fitness supplies, business cards and courses. I knew Mike did taxes but I been going to my tax guy for years because I felt comfortable with him and I thought he was getting back my maximum refund.Tax season came and Mike asked me if I deducted those expenses. I said “I don’t know, I just give my expenses to my tax guy” Being loyal to my tax guy, I gave him and mike my info. The amount my tax guy got me as a refund wasn’t even close to what mike got me. My tax guy didn’t claim my unreimbursed work-related expenses for years. mike not only got me a bigger refund, but he also amended my past returns and I received an additional refund on all of them. Thanks Mike!

I moved to NYC in March 2008. When it came time to file my 2008 taxes, I turned to a so-called tax expert for assistance since I had to file in 2 different states and NY tax was completely foreign to me. What a nightmare! The guy filed as if I was a full time resident in both states, so my yearly income was counted in full in both states even though I only paid taxes in each state for the time I actually lived there. On top of that, he supposedly filed my taxes electronically… except they never went through. It wasn’t until June that I found out my taxes were never actually filed. Of course I had already paid him for his “service” which was a waste. I wound up at an H&R Block trying to get it all corrected. NIGHTMARE! The following year (and every year since), Foster Ventures has been my go-to tax service.

“I was nervous about filing my taxes for the first time, but Michael made everything so easy to understand. His fee was way lower than H&R Block, and he actually took the time to explain everything. I’ll definitely be coming back next year.”
