National Tax Debt
Is This Your Business?Author: Kaitlyn Short
National Tax Debt was established in 2005 and has helped thousands of people resolve their tax debt. It is based in Fullerton, California, and it has an AAA Rating with the Business Consumer Alliance. It does not appear to be a member of top professional associations in the industry, including the American Society of Tax Problem Solvers (ASTPS), the National Association of Tax Professionals (NATP), or the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA).

The Bad
- No Specific Pricing Information
- Consultation Disclaimer
- Lacking Memberships
- No Money-Back Guarantee
No Specific Pricing Information
National Tax Debt does not provide any specific details or numbers on pricing. Fees are based on each individual case, and work on a flat-fee basis. Fees cover one's case from start to finish, including research, documentation, paperwork, follow-up negotiations and hearings before the Appeals Division of the IRS. It would be helpful to know some kind of average amount in fees upfront.
Consultation Disclaimer
The consultation evaluation is free; however, the company claims in a disclaimer that it may call or email as part of the service offering, and that the phone number could incur charges for such contact.
Lacking Memberships
National Tax Debt does not appear to be a member of top professional associations including the ASTPS, NATP, or NAEA.
No Money-Back Guarantee
The company does not advertise any kind of money-back guarantee or satisfaction policy for unhappy customers. Top companies in the industry will often offer some kind of refund guarantee in case customers are not satisfied with services.
The Bottom Line
National Tax Debt is a full-service firm that specializes in helping clients resolve IRS tax problems. It also offers a variety of tax solutions and resources. Customers can expect to work with enrolled agents, tax attorneys, and CPAs to resolve tax debt. National Tax Debt does not appear to work with a money-back guarantee, and its website does not include specific pricing information. Additionally, the company is not a member of top professional associations in the industry. While National Tax Debt has positive qualities and may be worth looking into, it is not exactly a standout in the industry. We recommend exploring other tax relief companies in addition.
