I was very hesitant using this service as I had been ripped off by another tax service. The IRS didn't care and came after me with a vengeance and I was practically suicidal. One day I came across Tax Debt Services and I called them. I spoke with Alyssa Hall. I poured my heart out to her and she assured me that I could be helped. Well, this is what I have to say. My case seemed complicated but Alyssa stayed with me every step of the way. The staff even reached out to me. I felt a compassionate carin

Tax Debt services must be one of the best secrets. I started with another firm whose fees were outrageous. It would have put me even deeper in debt.

I no longer live in fear from the IRS, I would recommend Tax Debt Services with the highest rating. The allowed me to sleep at night and able to go on with my life.

Don't wait they can help with Tax lean letters today call them. Say Ed sent you. Thank you Tax Debt Services.
As US Army veteran I have always searched to find quality assistance with filing my federal and state taxes whether in the states or serving overseas. A couple of years ago I received assistance from Tax Debt Services. They went above and beyond my expectations and were extremely affordable. I have found the help I needed and highly recommend to my friends and family.
Tax Dept Services did exactly what they told me they would do. An when I asked them to settle my account for a curtain amount, they were able to achieve that. There a great company to work with your tax problems. I have no regrets choosing them over other companies that had contacted me about my IRS problems. I would strongly recommend them to family an friends if you have a tax problem.
I really enjoyed doing business with this Company, their service was very professional, and efficient, Renee Garcia always kept me update about what I owed on my tax. The rest of the staff is always there to help me out when I called. I am so grateful for Tax Debt Services because they paid attention to getting me debt free, I now owe NOTHING to the IRS. If I could give this company a hundred stars I would, and anyone who owe significant amounts in tax, I will recommend Tax Debt Servicess to them as I did
Mark Russell and his team were so helpful and took the time to explain everything to me. After my divorce and discovering that my ex-husband had not paid our taxes correctly I owed the IRS 20k! As a single mom I had no idea how to start climbing out of this hole. Mark and his team helped me get a settlement offer in a little under a year. I had looked at several companies but was so glad I went with TDS.
Tax Debt is one of a very select number of companies that actually deliver more than expected. It?s common today to have a business that just does the minimum while charging the max. My Father died from Covid and Tax Debt kept moving forward for my Mother and got her tax debt totally taken care of, beyond our expectations. If you have tax problems, do yourself and your family a favor and go to Tax Debt?you will never regret the call that gets it started.
Honestly, they provided the best customer service. They kept us informed and always updated us in the status of the case. They always answered my questions and were very helpful. They returned calls and emails right away. The entire team at Tax Debt Services was very helpful and polite. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. They managed to significantly reduce the debt.
I can now sleep at night... thanks to Tax Debt Services. Their professionalism and their ability to solve my problem is far beyond my expectations. Their constant communication with updates was incredible. Everyone is courteous and they are conscious about keeping you informed about your case. No one can go wrong with Tax Debt Services. No games...just results. Thank you all. 150% recommended.
When I first got the call from Tax Debt Services I was in denial about them being able to help me resolve my Tax Debt with the IRS, I knew I couldn?t do this alone and their was a great deal of fear involved with me becoming submissive to the reality of the whole process? but they kept on calling. What if?s? That all I could fathom at that time.. I found Courage that this nightmare could end if I just Trust someone to help me after all what do I have to lose by trying. So one day I answered the phone, and I
I am very grateful to have the Tax Debt team on my side. They very helpful always explained anything that came in to them from the IRS.

I worked with Tax Debt Services beginning in Feb 2020. Terri Carrera and Alyssa Hall were both invaluable in getting my tax debt situation resolved. TDS responds to EVERY inquiry, regardless of how small the question and they were happy to answer any questions I had. Not only did they help with getting my enormous tax debt lowered, they stayed on top of every step and provided all the necessary information quickly. I didn't have to do hardly anything as they took care of it for me. Signed some paperwork, g
Tax debt is a virtual snowball. Once, it starts rolling, it?s very difficult to stop?the penalties and interest become suffocating, and debilitating. I was greeted professionally, positively and with compassion?.they gave me a thread of hope, but kept it real and did not over-promise, and immediately set about the task of representing me. The staff worked diligently to gather information and communicate with the IRS, and be my advocate. Finally, someone to lean on. For the first time..someone else was cal
I received multiple phone calls from tax relief "professionals," & after becoming despondent about my situation, I listened these gentlemen out. I was never pressured, talked into, persuaded, or "scared " into anything. And then I came to realize, those tactics are for people & companies unsure of themselves. And as a matter of fact, I took my time & researched this company, even having a lawyer look into it for me. I never expected Dusty, Andy, or Keshaud to go over & beyond my expectations. They fully co
When your tax life is a mess and getting threatening letters from the irs it was reassuring to talk with professional helpful people on your side,it's just not the back taxes but also the restrictions they also imposed on me,they helped get them removed so that you get your freedom back.

Totally blown away by what they accomplished for us? couldn?t have ever navigated something like this on our own. Thanks TEAM at Tax Debt Services for everything you have done.
Professional, reliable, kind and courteous. They helped us with our past tax debt and saved us thousands of dollars with an offer in compromise also known as ?Fresh Start?with the IRS. So grateful for their services. My husband and I highly recommend their services.
Andy and his team were fantastic in helping me resolve my issues with the IRS. Everyone that I communicated with was professional and timely and they made sure the entire process went smooth. I can't thank them enough for what they accomplished on my behalf.
Tax Dept Services is the real deal. They are the only services that didn't lie and they do exactly what they say they will do. I owed over 73k and we settled for 500. If it hadn't happened to me, I wouldn't believe it either. Thank you for my new lease on life.
Very happy and satisfied with TAX DEBT SERVICES. Absolutely the most professional tax debt law firm. You would be smart to use this firm with your tax debt worries. Five star from top to bottom!! You won?t regret it!!
These gentlemen were consummate professionals in my dealings with them. They were knowledgeable and kept me informed during the entire process of the tax settlement. In my early stages of searching for assistance with my tax debt I was a bit intimidated and reluctant, but I'm glad I worked with tax debt services. They provided a huge relief for me.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
