Other Best Tax Relief Companies
Ranking Criteria
The factors we selected are what we would consider if we were recommending the company to our loved ones.
We focus on the information provided on the company website and our search of the internet.
-
Focus on Tax Relief & Nationwide Practice
We want to see that a company has experience negotiating with the IRS in the following ways:- Offer in compromise
- Installment agreement
- Currently not collectible
- Penalty abatement
- Innocent spouse relief
- IRS appeals
We look for clear evidence of this experience on the company's website. -
Name of Former IRS Employees & Company Owners Provided
Former IRS experience is a must to be able to do this work successfully. Many tax relief companies claim to have former IRS employees on staff when they do not. In other instances they employ former IRS employees who had such a low position in the IRS as to make the reference irrelevant. For example, the title IRS attorney carries weight. A title IRS mail clerk does not. We review the company's website to verify that the firm employs former IRS and that their names AND job titles for the former IRS employees are provided.
To really judge the quality of a tax relief company, you have to have know who owns the firm. They set the direction for the firm and are the person responsible for the firm's work. We look to see that the company ownership is disclosed on the company's website. -
Responds to Consumer Complaints
It is important that the tax relief company care about its reputation. We search the internet for evidence that the company responds consumer complaints online. -
Flexible Payment Options & Accepts Credit Cards
Owing a tax debt can be a significant financial burden. It can strain anyone's budget. Coming up with the funds to pay for professional help to resolve the tax debt can be a challenge. This is especially true for tax relief companies that charge up front fees or flat fees and are not able to waive them or work with clients on payment terms. We look to the company website to verify that the company has flexible payment terms. We also look to check whether they accept credit cards.
