I was drowning in tax debt and honestly terrified of the IRS, but Joe came in like a seasoned veteran and handled it. From our first phone call he spoke in clear, reassuring language, explaining every step so I never felt lost or embarrassed. [...] In the end Joe reduced what I owed to a fraction of the original amount, and set up a payment plan I can actually afford, [...] I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Dealing with the IRS after five years of unfiled tax returns and [...] in back taxes was terrifying. [...] They were super clear, acted fast, and managed to get my penalties reduced [...] Thanks to them, I'm finally back on track.
Me and my husband were desperate for answers an we are so beyond thankful for this team [...] they not only answered all of our questions and took the stress away but handled all of our debt with the IRS.
We had a tax issue and they handled it. Our balance was reduced by $20,000, couldn’t be more thankful for [...] and his team.
[...] He saved me thousands, was a great communicator and didn't drag this nightmare on and on.

Questions
Common questions about tax relief
Does the IRS forgive tax debt?
Not on request. An offer in compromise can close a debt for less than the full balance when you qualify, and penalties can sometimes be removed. We check which options fit your situation.
What is the IRS Fresh Start program?
Fresh Start is the name the IRS gave to changes that made payment plans, offers in compromise and lien withdrawals easier to get. There is no separate application. We check which of these options you qualify for.
Do I have to come to an office?
No. Cases run by phone, email and secure upload from anywhere in the country. The company has offices in Nashville, Bozeman, Charlotte, Denver, Las Vegas, Orlando and Phoenix.
