Customer Reviews

OIC Tax Services helped us resolve our issue with the IRS! My father owed a huge amount of taxes and penalties for the years of 2008 and 2009, and was constantly receiving letters from the IRS when we contacted OIC Tax Services. Robert went above and beyond for us and was always available for any questions or concerns we had. He was able to put an end to the monthly letters from the IRS that were causing more stress and worry to my fathers life. Robert and his team took care of everything and got us through

OIC Tax Service has my business for LIFE!!! A few years back, unfortunately, the gentleman that had been doing my taxes since I was a teenager, passed away unexpectedly. I continued to use his wife for my taxes, but the tax service business became too much for her to handle after her loss. My next tax person was a friend of my mom's that worked at H&R Block, and she was great, until she retired. The following year I went into H&R Block, and the gentleman assigned to me, came up with some ungodly amount that

Robert and his team are incredibly detailed, professional and operate with extreme compassion, my situation was untenable and Robert was beyond superb i helping me to resolve what i thought would be complete disaster. he always spoke with positivity and eased my worst fears, his team is wonderful and operate in the same fashion. i would recommend them to anyone and everyone, simply awesome.

Robert and OIC Tax Services were instrumental in helping me secure my first home! Because of their assistance, I was able to secure a favorable home loan. I was very pleased with both their attention to detail and superior customer service. I highly recommend this firm because they went out of their way to help me. Thank you, Robert!

I ran into a tax snafu this year that had me pretty scared. I called a bunch of places and all of them gave me very general cold shoulder answers. But not Robert, he was very understanding of my situation and the mental toll it was taking on me. At the end of the day Taxes are scary for the average folk but Robert reassured me to not freak out. I had to wait for a letter to show up over the next 4 to 6 months regarding my tax review. Robert checked up on me monthly to see if I had any updates. Luckily my is

Robert saved me thousands off of what other companies quoted me to help solve my tax issues. But, more than that Robert is one of the most caring, compassionate human beings on this planet. I can?t thank him enough and ended up gaining an incredible friend! Please go to him one of the last honest professionals in the business!

Robert Forsyth & the team of professionals at OIC Tax Services will impress you with their skill, knowledge, dedication & understanding of Tax Law. I was in a tight spot with Uncle Sam a few years ago, yet Bob & his team have worked diligently to keep me moving in the right direction with my tax issues. I enthusiastically encourage anyone reading this to call OIC before you take on the government yourself or with another tax agency. What fees you pay to OIC will be a VALUE compared to the services, suppo

Nothing causes depression like non-stop letters from the IRS! A CPA misstep (not OIC) followed by unemployment for a 16 months then putting taxes aside, we were just too depressed to deal with it. We were in a real mess, years worth of back taxes with penalties adding up daily! Robert and team pulled us out and got us back on track. They are wonderful to work with and put our stress at ease. IRS is a slow and difficult organization to deal with. However, the OIC staff stayed on a calendar and moved the pr

Robert was the most professional and responsive attorney I've had the pleasure of working with. He always got back to me in a short time, answered all of my questions at every step, and made sure he did everything he could to get everything to go through for me. Before I found Robert I felt in over my head and overwhelmed with my tax situation. Robert found a solution that worked for me and put in the time to get everything set up. Robert, you're the man! I appreciate everything you've done for me and would

Robert and the staff at OIC Tax Services won my case with the FTB. I made an attempt myself and it was rejected. Called Robert and he helped me win the case. They answer the phone or call you right away. Very Organized and a lot of experience. Thank you OIC tax Services.

After paying many people to not solve any of my problems, I found Robert. He is the real deal. Robert is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He was able to accomplish everything I asked from him in a very short period of time. Thank you Robert! You really are a super hero.

It is hard to put into words what Robert and his team at OIC have done for me and my family. I was under a heavy tax burden that had haunted me for years. It was literally affecting every aspect of my life. When I contacted OIC I had no idea the type of help I was going to receive. I had the opportunity to personally, while on a conference call, hear Robert go to battle for me and no allow the IRS to steamroll me. It is hard to say Robert and his team at OIC saved my life but it is easy to say they saved th

Robert and his entire team have been incredibly helpful and understanding in helping me manage and resolve my tax issues. I'm self employed and taxes can be overwhelming, especially dealing with the IRS. Robert is always prompt in answering and responding to call and questions. While my tax issues are still in the process of being resolved, I feel better knowing I have their help navigating this process.

When I came to OIC, I owed a large sum of money to the IRS. With the help of Bob & his team, they were able to clear all my debt. They were very professional , returned all my phone calls, & answered all my questions. They have continued to keep in touch with me concerning other issues. You definitely want them on your team.

We are so thankful we worked with OIC. Robert was wonderful helping us through a very stressful time and telling us not to worry they will handle everything. And they did a great job - everything turned out great. We recommend OIC Tax Service to anyone with a tax concern. Thank you OIC !!! Jerry & Kathy Love

I just want to start by saying thank you Robert and staff for your dedication. I wasn't sure how I was going to get through this enormous debt of $50,000. I definitely could not have made it through my tough times without my Heavenly Father, prayers, and you guys working day and night to clear my name. I am so thankful and grateful for your honesty, professionalism, and the quality of work you all performed. There was never a time where I felt like I was in the dark, your responsiveness on a timely basis w

After getting several letters from IRS, me and my husband Carl were really lost as to what to do. We called Bob and after telling him our situation, he said everything would be ok. He started right then working on our problem. He answered every time I called with all my worries. He did everything he said he would and it all worked out. He does what lawyers I have dealt with in the past WILL NOT DO and that is talk with you like you're a person. I never felt inferior or that I didn't matter. I would recommen

OIC is Awesome! We cannot Thank Robert and his staff enough for their time, hardwork and dedication they have spent on our tax problem. The outcome we could only dream about for years, OIC has made our reality. Robert you & your Staff are a blessing! OIC was professional and always reassured us when times were stressful. Thank you Once again for taking on our tax needs, because you knew from day 1 you could help us. We are forever grateful for your services. The Ellis Family

I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am with the service they provided to me. Initially I was skeptical having to do business over the phone rather than in person due to the fact that I live on the East Coast and they are located in California. Let me assure you this was not an issue whatsoever. Bob and his team were absolutely terrific . Never one time that I called him did he not answer or return my call immediately. Actually I am still having a hard time believing just how awesome this service is. I w

Stressed out all the time. Working longer hours and more days and getting even more stressed out. We owed a lot of money from back taxes and didn't see an end in sight until I talked to the professionals at OIC Tax Services. The amazing thing was; I did not have to be present in person for them to help me. They listened to our problems right over the phone and looked everything over and assured us it was not as bad as we were thinking. I was about to have my wages garnished and had back taxes which I had

OIC TAX WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ROBERT AND HIS STAFF ARE HANDS DOWN INCREDIBLE. Robert kept me informed on every aspect of my case, he always answered the phone when I called. That made me feel great in knowing that I had picked the rite guy with handling my back taxes. I live in florida and he made me feel like I lived rite down the road. I honestly cant say enough about OIC TAXES. Thank you again Robert.

I highly recommend OIC Tax Services to everyone! I worked directly with Robert Forsythe. He was professional, courteous and always available to answer my questions. Most importantly, he handled my tax issues quickly with no effort on my part. (I expected my this to be a long, drawn out affair but it was not.) I cannot thank Robert Forsythe and OIC Tax Services enough for their work.

Thank you Robert for all that you have done for Dennis and I. You have made my life easier and don?t have to worry about my taxes. Thank you for taking care of my estimated taxes also. Also thank you for taking the time to get to kn your client from Iowa. Would highly recommend Oic Tax Service.

OIC Taxes worked really hard reduce what I owed to the IRS. With the year ending OIC Tax services got my debt from $18,000 to $1,875 with IRS. I couldn't be happier with their services and will continue to have my taxes done through them. It's hard to find places like them, that are committed to helping you to the finish line.I'd recommend them to family and friends without a doubt.

I am very lucky to have met such a competent tax attorney. Friendly, sympathetic and kind but assertive. His rates are very reasonable for the amount of work he does.

To Robert Forsythe and the OIC team, You all are the best. You've help me tremendously with the IRS and thanks for the guidance and support you gave to me. I thought my dept of over a quarter million dollars would never go away but with your expertise, every last penny went away. And to that thank you and God Bless you all and your families. Thanks Jeremy

THE VERY BEST IRS RESOLUTION SERVICE. I have never had any issue with the IRS during my 45-year working career. However, after my retirement, I made a series of financial missteps that resulted in my most dreadful experience. The IRS felt as a PIT BULL clamping its jaws on my rear end and would not let go. My attempts for a quick resolution resulted in calling several heavily advertised companies, most of which had the very same approach: 1- NO GUARANTY OF A RESOLUTION WITH THE IRS; 2- NO IDEA HOW LONG IT

Bob is awesome I had alot of problems and he gave it 100 percent by contacting the it's and fixing all my problems with the irs and fixing all my back tax returns and he was fast very awesome people I recommend oic to everyone

OIC tax services helped me tremendously with my tax problems. I also use them every year to file my taxes and will continue to use them. I used to use tax act and hr. Block and that ended up costing me thousands in missed deductions. Thank you Robert, Edith and crew.

My wife and I highly recommend OIC tax services. They really care about their clients. We were walked through every stage of our case with great communication and customer service. We had a great experience in a very stressful time .

Robert has been a wonderful help with my non profit taxes. He takes the worry away and handles it all. Great guy great service!!

Been using OIC Tax services for years. Best service that you could ask for. They get the job done right the first time.

Good results. Tried hard. Unpleasant experience. Not so at ease with professional returns. Required advance payment in full, then followed by additional billing for time spent. Took 5 weeks. (2 weeks for CPA past 25 years.)

Very helpful friendly. Robert goes the extra mile to help with taxes. I'm so greatful very good man& company.

These guys are AWESOME!!! Highly recommend them for any and all tax related dealings - great price for great work!

Very unsatified lots of empty promises they didnt do anything but file my missing returns they didnt negotiate with the irs or get anything reduced

Very professional, quick. Highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications should I look for in a CPA?

Look for a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, which ensures they’ve passed rigorous exams and meet state requirements. Check for relevant experience in your industry, additional certifications like CFA or CMA, and membership in professional organizations like the AICPA. Verify their credentials through state licensing boards.

How do I find a CPA in my area?

Use online directories like the AICPA, CPAverify, or state CPA societies. Search platforms like Yelp or Google for local CPAs with reviews. Ask for referrals from business associates, friends, or financial advisors. Local chambers of commerce can also provide recommendations.

What’s the difference between a CPA and an accountant?

A CPA is a licensed professional who has passed the CPA exam and met state requirements for education and experience. An accountant may lack this certification and could have varying levels of expertise. For complex tasks like tax audits or financial reporting, a CPA is typically more qualified.

How do I know if a CPA specializes in my needs?

Ask about their experience with your specific financial needs, such as tax preparation, small business accounting, or estate planning. Review their website or LinkedIn for case studies or client testimonials. Inquire about their client base to ensure they handle similar financial situations.

Should I check a CPA’s reviews before hiring?

Yes, reviews provide insight into a CPA’s reliability, communication, and performance. Check platforms like Google, Yelp, or the Better Business Bureau for client feedback. Look for patterns in reviews, but verify their authenticity, as some may be biased or outdated.

How can I verify a CPA’s license?

Visit your state’s Board of Accountancy website or use CPAverify.org to check a CPA’s license status. Confirm their license is active and check for any disciplinary actions or complaints. This ensures they’re in good standing and meet professional standards.

What questions should I ask during a CPA consultation?

Ask about their experience with your financial needs, fee structure, availability, and communication style. Inquire how they handle tax filings, audits, or financial planning. Ask for references or examples of similar work to assess their expertise and fit.

How much should I expect to pay for a CPA’s services?

Fees vary based on location, services, and complexity. Basic tax preparation may cost $150-$500, while business accounting or audits can range from $1,000 to $10,000+. Request a detailed fee structure upfront and compare quotes from multiple CPAs.

Can I work with a CPA remotely?

Yes, many CPAs offer remote services through secure online platforms for document sharing and virtual consultations. Ensure they use encrypted tools for data security. Remote CPAs can be effective if they understand your local tax laws or business regulations.

How do I assess a CPA’s communication skills?

During consultations, evaluate their ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly. Ask sample questions about taxes or financial strategies and note their responsiveness and clarity. Good communication ensures you understand their advice and fosters a productive relationship.

What red flags should I watch for when screening a CPA?

Beware of CPAs who guarantee specific tax refunds, lack a valid license, or have disciplinary actions on record. Avoid those with poor communication, vague fee structures, or negative reviews highlighting unethical behavior. Always verify their credentials independently.

Should I choose a CPA from a large firm or a solo practitioner?

Large firms offer more resources and specialized teams but may charge higher fees. Solo practitioners often provide personalized service and lower costs but may have limited availability. Choose based on your needs, budget, and preference for personalized attention.

How often should I meet with my CPA?

For individuals, annual meetings for tax preparation may suffice. Businesses may need quarterly or monthly check-ins for bookkeeping, tax planning, or financial reporting. Discuss your needs upfront to establish a meeting schedule that aligns with your financial goals.

Can a CPA help with both personal and business finances?

Yes, many CPAs handle both, but confirm their expertise in both areas. Ask about their experience managing personal taxes and business accounting simultaneously. Ensure they can balance both without compromising attention to your specific financial needs.

What should I do if I’m not satisfied with my CPA?

Discuss concerns directly with your CPA to resolve issues. If unresolved, check your contract for termination terms. Seek a new CPA by researching reviews, credentials, and referrals. Request your financial records to ensure a smooth transition to a new professional.
