Tax Services
Tax services start with a free and confidential consultation. This can be done over the phone or in person, and potential clients speak directly with a tax attorney, enrolled agent, or CPA. The consultation goes over the client's financial situation, and determines which tax solution best solves the problem. Premier specializes in the following tax services: offer in compromise, wage garnishment, tax levy, un-filed tax returns, installment agreement, penalty abatement, payroll tax issues, tax lien, innocent spouse relief, etc.
No Hidden Fees
The company claims to operate without any hidden fees. Clients can learn more about pricing during the consultation. In general, Premier works on a fixed and flat-fee basis, and notifies potential customers of the total cost before clients decide whether or not to contract. Clients are only expected to pay a portion of the total cost upfront, and can then pay in monthly installments.
Experienced Staff
The company aims to provide a personalized experience for every client. As a result, clients can speak and work directly with CPAs, enrolled agents, and tax attorneys. Additionally, Premier's founding principals have over 40 years of combined experience in the tax relief, law, and accounting industries.

The Bad
- Unclear Money-Back Guarantee
- Pricing Not Provided
- No Educational Resources
- Process Information is Unclear
Unclear Money-Back Guarantee
A lot of top companies in the industry will provide some kind of money-back guarantee. Premier does not explain a satisfaction or full refund guarantee for those unsatisfied with the services; however, the company does mention that part of the flat fee is refundable at any time.
Pricing Not Provided
To receive a pricing quote on a tax service, one must schedule a consultation call or meeting. Company representatives have revealed that prices usually range from $2,000 to $4,000. However, Premier's website does not provide any kind of pricing, cost or fee information in general. Specific information or even a range of costs for each tax service would be helpful to know upfront. Prices run on a flat-rate basis, and are determined by the complexity and scope of each tax situation.
No Educational Resources
Though educational resources are not required to deem a company reputable, they can be extremely helpful to customers. The company's website does not include any blogs, articles, or tools that educate on issues in the tax industry.
Process Information is Unclear
The company does not explain a lot of information on its overall process used to reach tax resolution. Top companies in the industry will often explain the steps taken to achieve financial freedom for clients-Premier does not do this. It is also unclear whether or not tax services operate with a minimum tax debt requirement.
The Bottom Line
Premier Tax Solutions specializes in a variety of tax services, a few including offers in compromise, wage garnishment, tax levy, un-filed tax returns, installment agreement, etc. The company charges on a fixed and flat-rate basis and works to personalize tax relief plans to each client. Premier works with an experienced team of CPAs, enrolled agents, and tax attorneys. Specific pricing quotes are not provided until the free consultation, and the company's overall process information is not explained; however, Premier generally receives positive feedback, and is worth looking into for tax relief services.
