Legal Question in Administrative Law in California

IRS approval of these does not look at backgrounds as far as I know but I could be wrong...

No.

However, you might consider expungement anyway.

Some CA convictions can be 'expunged' from criminal records by proper application and Petition to the convicting court, but ONLY IF all terms of sentencing and at least one year of probation are completed, and if there are no new charges pending. Sounds like yours may qualify.

If successful, the conviction would be retroactively withdrawn and the charges dismissed. Expungement does NOT �clear�, 'remove', �erase� or �disappear� the conviction. Nothing will. �Records are forever�. Expungement does change the court record to show an arrest, charges filed, with 'conviction reversed and charges dismissed by expungement'. The conviction is still a 'prior' or 'strike' for purposes of repeat offenses with the courts and DMV.

If you�re serious about doing this, and you think you qualify under those rules, feel free to contact me for the legal help you'll need.
