Then you just have to make enough contacts to find one that will help you do what you want to do.The other thing you might do is make a list of brokerages and go talk to the broker or team leader in each office. 

Congrats on getting your license.It can be tough sometimes finding the right brokerage.Are you going in and interviewing with the team leader, or how are you trying to get questions answered?

@Drew Sygit he runs Logical PM, one of the leaders in that space in the area. 

Account Closed,If your intent is to challenge the IRS and establish a precedent, you need to be working with a team having that experience.The leaders of my local investing group and their tax / legal expert just spent five years teaching the IRS how to properly interpret their own tax code.
