Tax Resolution Company Reviews

1.  Do you get to talk to a professional who can discuss options, or are you talking to a sales person interested in getting you to write as big a check as possible,
2.  Is the process structured in work increments where you will know in advance what each section of the work that  is to be performed  and the cost.  

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

1.  The firms should have a good rating with the Better Business Bureau.  The BBB rates firms from A+ to F.
2.  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)
3. 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. (Click the Matrix Ratings Complaints Column to see the BBB Complaints page)
4. 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.
5. I believe that a Tax Resolution firm should provide tax preparation services.  We have tried over the years to work with the taxpayers 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.
