How to Judge Tax Resolution Services

Last updated on September 7, 2021

Judging tax resolution services sounds like a difficult job, but there are ways through which taxpayers can easily find out if a tax company is authentic or not.

The first step is to research. Taxpayers can easily conduct online research using sources of information such as Better Business Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission. Their respective websites provide information on consumer complaints against a company. Although every tax company gets consumer complaints, dishonest tax resolution services will have a larger number of consumer complaints against them because they do not fulfil the expectations of most of their clients.

Apart from consumer complaints, taxpayers can contact a tax company for free consultation. During the consultation, they can authenticate any information they have researched online and offline. This can include history of successful resolutions, information about staff, location, fee structure and their years in business. Talking to a company representative can give you a better idea of how good a tax company is.

All honest tax resolution services ensure that the tax case they take on is resolved in such a way that it brings most benefits to the taxpayer. Tax resolution services can help taxpayers in reducing tax debt, avoiding/minimizing IRS penalties, stopping tax liens and tax levies, and getting them matched with the most appropriate IRS debt payment plan in cases of tax debt.

The right tax help can mean early and smooth resolution of a tax issue. Once taxpayers have hired the right tax help, they can be sure that the company they have hired will get them the most beneficial resolution. But for a start, they need to hire the right one.
