With so many tax companies claiming to resolve IRS tax issues, you should be careful in choosing the company that suits you the best. Do your homework!

 
There are many things to consider before selecting a tax resolution company.
As a general rule, be careful choosing from large tax mills. They have the potential of being a disaster.
Also be careful with giving your information to advertising companies running one or two page splash ads. When you fill out a contact form on a site that has only one or two pages on the entire site those are called splash page advertising. Your information is gathered and sold to the highest bidder. It is important to know the company, know the history, and know the tax professionals who are actually getting your information and going to work your case.

When you look at firms like JK Harris, Ronnie Deutch, and Tax Masters, all have significantly ripped off money from thousands of taxpayers claiming that they can settle tax debt for pennies on the dollar.  Even though pennies on a dollars possible you must qualify for the offer in compromise program before submitting for a tax debt settlement.
The Internet is loaded with horror stories.
Most of the time these large companies have sales staff that sign you up and have no idea about tax law or tax resolution. They are commissioned sales people.
These salespersons strictly want a commission from you.
Ask the person you are speaking to what there credentials are before you even get started.
1. The very first thing to check on is the BBB rating.
Only hire a company that has an “A ” plus rating.
Be wary of any company with a rating below an “A.” You would probably have your money at risk. Also check out the compliant history from the BBB.
2. Use a Google search to check the company out. People who are unhappy with a company or have been ripped off will usually post something up on the Internet.
There are other sites out there that also notify consumers about the history or complaints of a company. One such company that does that is called ripped off consumer.
3. Always check to see how long the company has been in business for. A good solid company will have a solid history and been around for several years.
4. Check to see whether the company has Tax Attorney’s, CPA’s, and enrolled agents on their staff. It is always best to have tax attorneys and CPAs for more complicated issue and sometimes you may need an attorney to retain attorney-client privilege. The best Tax Resolution companies have these persons working right there on site.
True professional companies have these skilled tax experts on staff to help with the difficult cases. Also, an Tax Attorney or CPA will not put their license on the line for scam companies.
5. Find out who owns the company. If a nonprofessional does, check the person out closely. Has he owned other businesses and what type of businesses were they? Are they still in business?
6. If the tax resolution company wants all the money up front, run.
This is a bad sign. There is no incentive for them to close your case. They will generally become lazy. You should insist on a two payment structure.
7. Does the tax strategy makes sense? If what they are telling you is pie in the sky your money will end up there are well.
8.  Speak to the person who will be directly working your case. Insist on it. Know the name of the professional and there credentials  that will be handling your issues. Make sure they know you and your case.
9. Another consideration is to find out if they have former IRS agents and managers on staff.
Being a former IRS agent  myself we know insider information and insider knowledge that truly benefits any taxpayer having a IRS problem. As a result of working there for many years,  we have we know the systems, the protocols, and the settlement strategies to close cases.
10.  Ask the person who’s been to be working your case on a similar case like yours what are typical results. If a company has worked hundreds or thousands of cases they should be able to at least predict what usually happens on a case. They should not guarantee it but they should at least accurately only be able to predict what results should be.
Again, do your homework!
