We are A+ rated by the BBB.
Some Facts and then some,
There are hundreds upon hundreds of Internet sites claiming they can help resolve back IRS problems. Just pulled up a Google search and over 6 ,800,000 searches just came up.
You should know right from the beginning that about 90% of all the advertising that you see on the Internet are from marketing companies that sell your information to third parties in hopes to land a sale for your business.
That’s right, your information is sold to third parties for $60.
The IRS has come out with several tax bulletins regarding fraudulent tax resolution companies within the past years warning the taxpayers to stay away from scam artists and companies making false claims.
The tax resolution industry for the most part has been turned over to sales people who have worked other business verticals such as mortgage, real estate and credit relief programs. When industries changes because of economic reasons or changes due to the federal law, these companies and sales people are forced to find other business verticals to work.
A large number of these sales people have found their way in IRS Tax Relief, Back Taxes, and IRS Debt Resolution business.
While many of them are good persons in general, they are sales people, they have no business working an industry they know absolutely nothing about.
Owing the Internal Revenue Service and state governments are serious problems and this work should not be turned over to persons who are not true professionals.
Many of these companies are in business today and gone tomorrow and many times with your money.
You can look at the companies like JK Harris, Ronnie Deutch, and Tax Masters all companies that had huge advertising budgets and wound up ripping thousands upon thousands of taxpayers off with deceptive advertising.
One of the big advertising statements that have come out in the past marketing campaigns is ” settle your case for pennies on a dollar.”
You must know that this statement is very true, you can settle your case for pennies on a dollar but you must meet very specific criteria to go ahead and make that happen.
Internal Revenue Service excepted 18,000 offers in compromise last year which is a 38% acceptance rate, the highest in the past 10 years.
To get an IRS tax settlement you must find a good tax company who truly knows how to resolve your back taxes to make this happen.
As a general rule you want to do so with the company that has tax attorneys, certified public accountants, and former IRS agents as well as enrolled agents who know their business.
You can avoid many of these problems if you follow this practical common sense advice:
1. Check the Better Business Bureau report on the Company.
If the company is not “A” plus rated, flee.
Please Note, many of these companies change names every couple of years.
2. Find out if there is a professional Tax Attorney or CPA on staff for more complicated issues and problems.
In legitimate companies, Attorneys and CPA’s usually will not lend their names to scam artists.
Beware of companies too that sub their work out to third party firms that are not connected with the company. This is a common practice that these companies employ, they use backend companies to actually do the work and communication issues become a problem.
3. Check out how long the principles have been practicing tax or tax law. Most solid companies will find their principles have been practicing at least ten years or more. You will also find their bios listed on the website. If you are not dealing with a professional firm the company’s website will be absent of bios so that’s a red flag.
4. Ask if the company guarantees their work.
If a company is guaranteeing their work, flee again. No one can guarantee IRS results. If they guarantee your money will be returned if they are not successful, that’s another story.
5. Interview the person that may work your case. Ask about his or her credentials and IRS work experience.
6. Skype the person face to face. Ask if the person has a video conferencing system. You will get a good feel with a face to face.
7. Ask the tax professional who is working on your case if they have worked similar cases. They all should be tell you they have because of their vast work experience.
Ask them about what typical results are given your financial history and information.
At the end of the day it is about work history, credibility, due diligence and results.
