The company has helped over 10,000 satisfied clients and negotiated over $10 million in savings for those clients with its aggressive negotiations approach.

Best Possible Outcome Pledge

Origin Tax pledges that it will provide each of its clients the best possible outcome based on their specific tax situation. Every situation is unique, but Origin leverages the experience of its team and its specialized software to optimize the client experience so every one of its clients gets the very best result possible.

Excellent Customer Service

Origin Tax reviewers rank the company very highly for customer service.

Origin Tax's policy is to answer every call made to its customer service team in real time.  In the rare case that it cannot answer live, it promises to return any voicemails within minutes.  When you do connect with an Origin Tax representative, you can trust that he/she is trained and experienced to help you with whatever your need may be related to your tax situation.

Simple Process

Origin Tax has a simple, three-step process to get clients the tax relief they are seeking. The first step is a free, no-hassle consultation where you can ask all your questions and the company can determine if its services can help you.

The second step is an investigation into your finances, where Origin helps you gather all the documents needed and walks you through how the rest of the case will go.

The third step is resolution, during which Origin will assist you in the final steps of the tax relief process after all offers and contracts have been completed.

Variety of Services

Origin Tax offers a variety of tax relief services, including individual and business tax preparation. The company also works with the following situations:

• Back tax resolution
• Removing wage garnishments
• Releasing tax liens
• Installment agreements
• Removing bank levies
• Offers in compromise

Origin offers a free consultation, as is the industry standard. You can learn more about these services and any others that may pertain to your specific financial situation during this consultation.

Fixed Pricing

Unlike many other tax relief companies, Origin Tax charges a fixed, flat fee for its services. You can rest assured that you will not be charged more or less depending on what the company deems you can afford. That being said, it does not disclose on its website what this fixed fee is. 

The company does say that it offers flexible payment options, and that each client is assigned a tax advisor who is there to get you the best results possible for your money.

• Lack of Transparency/Information
• No State Cases Without IRS Case

Lack of Transparency/Information

We don’t see any apparent concerns about Origin Tax, though we would like to see a little more information and transparency on the company’s website. The services listed are pretty slim, and there is one line about pricing being a fixed rate, but we don’t know what this amount is. Other top tax relief companies that we’ve seen typically have more robust websites than Origin does.

You can find out more about the company and if it is a good fit for you by scheduling a free consultation, which we recommend doing with any tax relief company you are considering.

No State Cases Without IRS Case

Origin Tax will only accept state tax relief cases if you already have a case open with the IRS or are seeking IRS tax relief as well. Thus, if your tax debt is to a state but not to the federal government, Origin will not be able to accept your case.
