Bismark Tax, Inc.

Trust me don?t use anyone else but Bismark Tax. I used my tax preparer for two separate IRS audit years because his service included free audit representation. Big mistake, especially seeing my preparer was an Enrolled Agent not a CPA or Attorney like Isai at Bismark. My preparer gave me horrible advice which lead the IRS to drag in a third year to audit which was not smart at all. I of course fired my preparer and hired Bismark Tax immediately. This was the best decision so far. Isai was able to do h

I recently went through a divorce and sold my home in the same tax year, and to make matters worse, during the process, I discovered some errors and omissions on my prior tax returns. I found Bismark Tax on Yelp and selected them based on their high number of 5 star reviews. From my first conversation with Isai I knew I was in great hands. With the help of Angela, they methodically reviewed and addressed all my issues, returned every phone call, answered every email. Even during their busy tax season, I al

I can't say enough good things about Isai. My wife and I had been penalized almost $5,000 after we tried to start our own business (LLC). We had our first child and this changed things a bit and we decided to hold off on opening the business, however, we didn't realize we were still liable to file the first year's tax return since we never became operational. With our new baby, hospital bills, and since my wife was laid off leaving me as the only household income, we just had no means of paying this off. E

I was really rattled after my initial encounter with the IRS auditor, and called Isai after reading some reviews on yelp. He was very helpful, and took my case on, even though it was a rather small amount of tax due. I wanted a tax attorney to handle this, someone to push back against what i saw as an abusive, uncooperative auditing session. Isai not only knocked my tax due down from $6100 to $1950, he confronted this auditor (after confirming my belief that she was being unprofessional) and called her bluf

Isai is amazing. He is honest, kind, very thorough and professional. He is super available; he answers his phone a lot and returns calls and emails fast. He will give you an honest assessment about if he can help you. He refused to take money from us because we weren't good candidates for a settlement. He steered us in a different direction and gave us referrals to honest, quality accountants. Before we called Isai, we almost went with a lawyer who asked for money and power of attorney before she even knew

The Dynamic Tax Duo! Isai Cortez and Jason Peart are the best tax lawyers I could have found. They are knowledgeable, curteous, prompt, and they get results! I spoke with Isai first about my IRS situation. They were asking for $76K for the sale of an apartment. Isai felt very confident that the amount would be lower. The next time, I spoke with Jason who was just as knowledgeable and even more confident that the amount would be lowered. Jason got it DONE! I was recently told that the amount was lowered to

I just want to thank Isai Cortez and his company at Bismark Tax, Inc. I was getting levied from the IRS all the time and they kept garnishing my wages. I heard about Isai from a couple of friends and found him online. Let me just say that if you want a straight up tax attorney in Los Angeles, CA, this is your man. He picks up the phone all the time and answers texts. I mean he was available 24/7. I owed about $50k to the IRS and $15k to the state and hadn't filed taxes for many years. Isai is a great

Isai at Bismark Tax is the best tax attorney in the entire Los Angeles area. I was 8 years behind on my taxes and was, unbeknownst to me, on the short list to have a sheriff come knocking on my door. When I contacted Isai, he called the IRS and when they told him about the sheriff, he was able to freeze that process, quite possibly saving me from some jail time. He was also able to not only get the entire 8 years of taxes straightened out and current but he somehow managed to get me approximately $5,000

Best tax attorney ever!! Took control of a tax audit for me that I thought was sure to be a financial disaster!! Isai and his team handled it with upmost confidence and assured me the whole time that despite the horror stories I have heard, him and his team would be sure to get everything organized and taken care of and I had nothing to worry about. He was 100% right!! After meeting with him in person I knew I had come to the right place. Our last meeting after the audit was complete he told me the results,

AWESOME JOB ON MY FULL COMPLIANCE IRS AUDIT. RECOMMEND YOU GET A PROMOTION AND !!! A RAISE :D I am in awe of the integrity and work ethic of Isai ! I apologize to Isai for not getting this up sooner. I pray you're NOT going to sue me for loss business as a result !! ;) lol. I got notice of A IRS FULL COMPLIANCE AUDIT (one month after President Obama?s IRS Scandal) I filtered Yelp looking for an attorney, as I knew I was going to need one. Plus, I?d rather give my money to an Attorney then to the IRS. Is

I can not say enough good things about Isai, Angela, Vanessa and the entire Bismark team. I first contacted Isai during the holidays in 2017 after I received notification from the FTB for a field audit. I called at 7am looking to leave a message but Isai picked up and was extremely helpful and offered to meet me in his office in an hour. His complete understanding of my situation and experience with similar matters made me feel really comfortable he was the right attorney for the job. The team explained eve

THE BEST ATTORNEY THAT I HAVE EVER RETAINED PERIOD! Isai just closed my case with the California Franchise Tax Board. The net result was that I did not have to pay a penny to the FTB. Isai was confident from the second that I explained the issues that I would have a favorable outcome. Unlike any attorney I have used previously, Isai returns calls quickly (less than an hour), acknowledges receipt of e-mail correspondence and works fast. Before retaining Isai I checked his reviews and was suspicious of the

UNBELIEVABLY disappointed in Isai Cortez?s lack of attention-to-detail and ethics. Isai, himself, blew us off THREE different times. FIRST time, we spoke to him directly and nothing resulted from it. SECOND time, I spoke to a kind receptionist, who informed me he would reach out to our team. He FAILED to call us back at the time the receptionist reserved. The THIRD & most recent event occurred when Isai CALLED us to set up a phone chat. HE said HE would call later in the evening and (of course) he did so LA

Thank you for ALL your had work, attending our concerns, and resolving our issues. You and your team are awesome. Isai Cortez was able to solve the problems with the IRS that other "So Called" professionals caused when accounting for my business transactions. It was a snarled mess. He and his team were able to sort out and make it so the IRS had a clear picture of what was truly reasonable due to them. I highly recommend them when dealing on complex issues with the IRS.

I reached out to Isai Cortez back in 2013 after I had been fed up with receiving notices from the IRS that they were trying to collect on my past due debt. They placed a lien on my credit report and as you can imagine a lien from the federal government doesn?t make you an ideal candidate for any kind of credit. I?ve seen many commercial for ?Tax Attorney?s? who can help settle debt for pennies on the dollar. But let?s be honest, most of the time they sound like infomercials prying on late night television v

My conversation with Isai was very helpful in getting me to understand the tax laws involving my situation and the steps I can take to be on top of taxes. His answers were easy to understand and made it clear to me what I needed to do. Would highly recommend to anyone who is confused about what to do involving taxes or about a situation with a similar subject matter.

Wow, what a relief ... Isai Cortez of Bismark did for me what 4 so called tax experts couldn?t . After failing to deal with Irs directly Mr Cortez provided me with guidance on the proper way to approach my negative tax situation . Getting me in a streamline payment plan, and reducing my payment by contacting Irs directly and finding out from them(Irs)what I needed to do ASAP before they took action against me. I called Mr Cortez on odd hours even weekends and hearing him say to relax you have time or we

I normally don't write reviews, but I created it just to review Bismark Tax, Inc. I had trouble with BOE when I sold my business in 2016. I didn't know where to look, but I found Isai through yelp 2 years ago. I called him and he was very friendly and knew exactly how to handle my situation. He was very professional and I'm so glad that I went with him to handle my situation! And I owed so much, but Isai (lawyer) and his team Worked their magic!! And I'm paying very little back to settle the OIC and givin

2015 was when I first approached Bismark regarding my installment arrangement. Since then, Isai has taken great care of me and my tax issues. He works diligently, making sure you get the best outcome that is most beneficial. He is in constant communication with you throughout the process. Thank you so much Isai!

Isai and team were a pleasure to work with. I procrastinated filing paperwork for my company with the State, and they helped me file all necessary forms and meet compliance in an expedited fashion. I appreciate the time they committed to helping me understand what I was missing and how to get it all resolved. I'll definitely be coming back with more requests in the future

Bismark Tax Service has been a lifesaver during some tough and very complicated times in my life. Ending up with a multiple year tax audits has been a terrifying experience.

Isai and Jason Peart have provided expert guidance and detailed explanations. I am fully confident in their work and dedication. It would be a mistake to go anywhere else. I trust the great ex

I can't put into words how amazing it was to work with Bismark Tax, Inc. Isai Cortez not only assisted me in wrestling down over 12 years of tax issues totaling 6 figures in tax debt and penalties into ... nothing. Beyond that Isai Cortez helped coach me through showing up for myself and my part of this process, which was the problem I was having for years in the first place. If you need help, and you are willing to take direction and put in even the smallest effort, then reach out to Bismark Tax immedia

Isai and his team are great to work with. They have helped me through three audits! They are professionals who understand tax law and assist with complex issues ensuring the best possible results.

I my experience was with only one tax Lawyer and it was with Mr Cortez.He was honest and said I should fight this case against me because it should have been a easy case to win,boy we were wrong.He was fighting against the IRS,the USPS and the California Tax Franchise Board and won my case.I got a check from the IRS for $3444 dollars and Mr Cortez stopped the collection of $17,000 from me.This tax firm should be at the top of the tax attorneys list on the internet.Thanks again Isai for a great job done for

Isai and crew were dogged, patient and effective at helping a family member settle an IRS debt, saving him thousands of dollars he did not have.
