Wayne Dupree Podcast Randallstown, MD

I started working with Anthem Tax Services back in 2019 with Jacob A. To make a long story short, after spending 16K and going through a couple of years of delay tactics and ghosting, I can't recommend. I was not left in a better place than I began and they definitely didn't want to refund my money which is why I think they delayed so many email/phone responses. The service seems nice and they really sound sincere but as I said, the delay practice will drive you to drink. The reason why you do not see more negative responses is that they have a reputation doctor that contacts you to see if things can be worked out if you remove the negative review. I did this. I was then passed off to three Anthem reps in about a month's time and I became frustrated which was probably the plan. Do not use this service and don't be afraid to add your review so others do not get caught in this situation.

I received a notice from the IRS that I owe $45,026.53. On August 20, 2021 I called Anthem Tax Service and spoke with Mollie Aberle. Anthem Tax Services said they would be able to immediately stop garnishments, levies, liens, etc preventing further actions from the IRS for the total price of $8000.00. On October 03, 2021 I discovered an unauthorized promissory note charge of $16,974.72 from Anthem Tax Services bringing the total Anthem Tax Services fees to $24,974.72 on top of my IRS debt of $45,026.53. To date there has been no reduction of my tax liability, while I am being garnished with levies and liens being attached. I have reported Anthem Tax Services to all relevant local and federal government agencies. Avoid Anthem Tax Services. Do not waste your time and money with Anthem Tax Services. I have experienced the same tactics reported by other reviewers

Wayne- that is not true. We have had over a dozen conversations about this. In 2 months...your entire debt will be wiped out because the statute of limitations will have expired. You will not owe the IRS anything on 1/3/2023.

My husband, who is 76 years old, contacted this company for relief on an old tax obligation. David C, a slick salesman, made promises to my husband that he either knew or should have known Anthem could not keep, which we found out when we negotiated our own installment agreement with the IRS. We were in contact with Nadia A, Director of Quality Assurance, (what a laugh), Deyvi V, a Case Manager, (another big laugh) and Andrew M, who I think is a Negotiator, (the final big laugh). After promises of tax relief they only offered to enter us into an installment agreement for an amount we could not afford with a start date we couldn't meet. Once a contract is signed it is impossible to get in touch with anyone other than the company receptionist. My husband told them he didn't want their services anymore and they went ahead without notifying us to enter into the agreement with the IRS that we told them we couldn't afford. We had to spend days contacting the IRS to vacate this agreement and negotiate a new agreement we could work with. These are very smooth operators that are good at selling their worthless service to unsuspecting people in need of real help. Don't believe them and, whatever you do, DO NOT SIGN a contract with them. They have no shame and will may you pay them for NOTHING!!!

Reply from Anthem Tax Services

Please note that our offices placed you in the best position possible against the IRS—a Currently-Non-Collectible status which prevents all collection efforts by the IRS. In addition, while in this status, you are not required any payments towards the best. In essence, you are not paying the IRS tax debt while the IRS collection statute continues to run. When IRS tax debt is owed that cannot be full paid, all taxpayers face the filing of Federal Tax Liens by the IRS since this is the only way the government can protect their interests. Please note that we attempted to abate late filing penalties on your behalf. However, due to your prior IRS tax liability from 2009, the IRS denied an abatement. Had you not had a prior tax liability prior to your current oldest tax debt, then the IRS would have agreed to an abatement. Although taxpayers can enter into resolutions on their own, hiring Anthem has effectively resulted in you paying $0 to the IRS at this time while avoiding enforced collections. Our efforts from the date you retained us have been aimed at doing just that. In fact, we avoided and prevented all levies, seizure of assets and collection efforts by the IRS during your relationship with our company. We’d love an opportunity to review the terms and conditions of a CNC status with you again to further explain the benefits of this status. Thank you.

Gregg Sterling, VA

I contacted Anthem Tax Service (ATS) over 18 months ago. After speaking with Greg he guaranteed that they would save me at least the cost of the program of $4500. Initially I had great hopes, but after they kept asking for the same Power of Attorney 5 times from 5 different people I started to raise flags. My account was handed off to 5 different people and none of them apparently communicate with the previous. After 18 months I have still yet to see them reduce my tax liability by 1 PENNY! And don't fall for their 100% guarantee, this is ABSOLUTEY bogus as well! I have reached out to over 5 people at ATS and have yet to receive a response after 2 weeks! THIS IS A SCAM!! Save your money.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!! They took my husband and I for $6500, yes I said $6500. What we got for $6500 was a RIDICULOUS payment plan. Not $1 of interest, fees, from the IRS was taken off. We could have done what they did and we even asked them this the first time we spoke to them and we were told no we will get you a better deal. Oh and the ridiculous pymt plan we did get they said that in a year they could possibly look into lowering that for more money of course. I hope this review will help at least one family from the heartache and the feeling of hopelessness that we feel and are now kicking ourselves for being scammed. They took all we had, we should have known when in the first month and a half we couldn't get anyone to call us back. We are just beside ourselves with grief on being so stupid. We don't know what we are going to do now because we are way worse off now then we were when we started. We honestly thought Anthem wanted and was going to help us but instead they took $6500 which to a normal working class family of 6 is a HUGE amount of money.

BE AWARE! They just want to take your money, paid $1500 for a promise of tax debt relief and get a bigger refund to go towards the debt and the only thing they've done was to set up an installment plan which I could have done by myself. Besides the long wait to process or return us when they feel to do so or you just keep ignored, the miscommunication, the lack of attention on filing our taxes, the lie about removing penalties and interests for non payment.... they simply don't care about you, it's very frustrating and completely disappointed. I wish I could get my money back, it would at least really pay part of the debt, which is way more worth than their services so far.

If I could give them zero stars I would. They are not at all professional. They don’t know what they are doing. Lost my money first time had to resend it. Then they had to do the taxes 3 times because they didn’t take off everything they were supposed to & I know deductions because I’ve been in trucking over 35 yrs. They don’t take off all your deductions so that you owe over $10000 and they can get the $1500 to resolve it. One of my deductions was over $19000 . As soon as they were done IRS PUT A LIEN ON ME. Isn’t that what they are suppose to take care of?? Didn’t happen now I’ve got to get someone else to take care of it and take off my $19000 plus deduction. DO NOT USE ANTHEM. I tried contacting them about this matter & they ignore me.

Mary Newport Beach, CA

So far, I have been frustrated by my experiences with Anthem Tax. I paid $7,500 to sign up. After reviewing my taxes before they submitted them, I noticed they were done incorrectly, and missing several things, which was incredibly discouraging because I have almost zero tax expertise. They re-did them, submitted them, and I still haven't received an offer in compromise. I signed up in mid-January, and now it's almost mid-August. I've had a hard time getting anyone to call me back after leaving voicemails. This is honestly become a very discouraging experience. For some reviewers, it looks like we've been experiencing the same poor service, and others, it seems, had a great experience, so it's really disappointing to be on the short end of this. I'm hoping at least someone will get back to me so I can understand where I'm at. While my tax debt is my own fault and no one else's - I did sign up with this company hoping to get some help/relief, and as my anxiety keeps building, I'm still waiting...trying to be hopeful that some kind of offer will come through.

PLEASE , PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS TAX SERVICE - YOU WILL REGET IT - I DO ! -FOUR YEARS LATER I OWE THE IRS MORE than DOUBLE WHAT I DID WHEN I HIRED ANTHEM TAX SERVICE . After I wrote my last review I was promised by both Jake S and Josh K - Partner owners of Anthem tax Service that my case was being resolved . I have several emails from Josh K, whining about how the IRS is incompetent and asking me to take my review down, which I did . I was told “ I will have this knocked out ASAP.”from Josh several times. Currently I have contacted Josh and copied him on most of my emails - He has not responded AT ALL To date my IRS case has NOT been resolved . Over the last four years my home has increased in value SO now the IRS has threatened to put a lien on my home. Which would not be happening if Anthem Tax Service did what they promised to do years ago. Also, They have not “ Negotiated “ one dime on my behalf My current IRS debt has gone from $24K to $61K .

I signed up with Anthem on 02/01/19, and I have yet to hear from a case manager or attorney. I advised the person who signed me that I had a deadline of 02/19/19 to respond to the IRS, and he assured me that cases are assigned to attorneys on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and it would no problem to get a reply to the IRS by 02/19/19. It is now almost 04/02/19, and the only time I have heard from Anthem is when they were asking for my payment to be made or else my case would have to be dropped. I have spoken with two pretty nice reps who tried to help me, but so far, Anthem has not kept its word to me. I am now well past my deadline to respond to the IRS, and I don't think Anthem will help me until my entire fee of $1500 is paid. I am $750 paid so far.
