Clarity Tax Relief Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Clarity Tax Relief cost?

Your consultation is free, and there is no obligation. If we can help, you receive a flat fee quoted in writing before you pay anything. We do not bill hourly and we do not send open-ended invoices, so the number you agree to is the number you pay. Fees vary by what your case actually requires, which is why we look at your situation first rather than quoting blind. There is no minimum tax debt required to work with us.

Can you guarantee you will settle my tax debt?

No, and you should be careful with any firm that does. Whether you qualify for a settlement, a payment plan, penalty relief, or hardship status depends on your income, expenses, assets, and filing history, and the IRS makes that determination, not us. What we will do is pull your IRS records, tell you honestly what you actually qualify for, and explain what each option requires before you commit to anything. If a company promises to eliminate your tax debt before reviewing your finances, treat that as a warning sign.

Who will actually be handling my case?

Experienced tax professionals, including Enrolled Agents. An Enrolled Agent is the highest credential the IRS awards and carries unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS in all 50 states. You can verify any Enrolled Agent independently through the IRS Return Preparer Office directory, and we encourage you to do that with us or any firm you are considering. You will know who is working on your case, and you can reach them directly rather than being passed to whoever answers the phone.

What happens during the free consultation?

You tell us what is going on, and we listen. Notices you have received, years you have not filed, what you think you owe, and what you are most worried about. We explain what the IRS is likely to do next and which resolution options realistically apply to your situation. If we can help, we quote a flat fee in writing so you can decide with the number in front of you. If we cannot help, or you would be better served handling it yourself, we will tell you that too. There is no obligation and no cost.

Do you work with taxpayers outside California?

Yes. We are based in Santa Ana, California, and we work with individuals and businesses in all 50 states. IRS matters are federal, and Enrolled Agents are authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS anywhere in the country, so where you live does not limit what we can do. Everything is handled by phone, email, and secure document upload, so you never need to come to an office. We also handle state tax matters in addition to federal IRS cases.

Having John explain the hardship pause helped me use that time well. Clarity helped get it approved and John made sure I understood that the debt still existed. I knew to use the pause to improve my finances and prepare for payments once my income recovered.

Regular contact from Michael helped me follow my case without worrying between calls. Clarity emailed about every two weeks and called when there was news. I appreciated how often an update arrived before I needed to ask. Michael made the communication easy to keep up with.

A friend's suggestion brought me to Clarity. They explained that hardship relief might pause collection when my income barely covers basic needs. We reviewed my income and costs, then the proof needed. I had thought borrowing was my only choice. They also helped me understand another option without making the process complicated. Would def recommend!
