Determining the Best Tax Relief Company | Top-Rate Tax Relief Providers

Most so called “Tax Relief Review Sites” are nothing more than paid advertising where placement is determined by the HIGHEST BIDDER.

Key Items to Consider When Researching to Find a Tax Resolution Firm

Solicitation on a “Review Site” which artificially places their firm at the top of the list for not other reason other than they were willing to pay the most.
Is the company you are considering nothing more than a “Lead Generation Company” meaning they are going to sell your contact information to the highest bidder?
Do they offer a Money Back Guarantee?
Will you be speaking to someone with representation experience or just a salesperson trying to get you to write a big check?

When trying to make a decision who will be YOUR Tax Resolution Firm you needed a comprehensive way to evaluation your choices.

The following is our opinion of how a Tax Resolution Firms should be rated:

The firms should have a good rating with the Better Business Bureau. The BBB rates firms from A+ to F.
Why BBB Accreditation - Tax Resolution firms should be accredited with the Better Business Bureau. Accreditation with the BBB means the BBB has determined that the business meets accreditations standards, which includes a commitment to make a good faith effort to resolve any consumer complaints. BBB accredited businesses pay a fee for accreditation review and monitoring for continued compliance. (Click the Rating Matrix Column to see the BBB page)
The number of complaints with the Better Business Bureau should be as low as possible. While it may be difficult to never have a complaint, it is important to see how the firm handles complaints.
The firm should disclose the ownership structure, so that if you have a problem you know how to address it. When the owner or owners are not disclosed, it leads me to believe that they are hidden for a reason.
I believe that a Tax Resolution firm should provide tax preparation services. We have tried over the years to work with the taxpayer’s tax preparation firm, especially with multiple returns, and it usually turns out to be a disaster. Unfortunately, outside firms prepare returns based upon their own priorities.
