Variety of Tax Solutions

Tax Hardship Center may have an unspecified number of tax experts at its disposal, but the breadth of tax solutions available at the company suggest that its experts are highly qualified and highly trained.

This expertise is necessary in the tax relief industry because every taxpayer and customer has a different tax situation with unique challenges. Some tax solutions are better suited to certain situations than others, and the tax experts at Tax Hardship Center will likely be able to help customers fight against tax penalties from the IRS.

For example, customers may simply have personal tax debt they need resolved, or they might have more complicated tax issues, like business tax debt, IRS penalties, paycheck garnishment (wage garnishment), unfiled taxes, payroll taxes, tax audits, and bank levies.

For such serious and complicated tax problems, Tax Hardship Center can provide the following services in its tax relief program:

• Offer in Compromise
• IRS Bank Levy
• Currently Not Collectible Status
• Tax Preparation
• IRS Installment Agreement
• Penalty Abatement
• Federal Tax Lien Release
• Wage Garnishment Release 

Whether you run your own business or are simply trying to stay afloat personally, the IRS can and will try to collect unpaid taxes.

The IRS's Offer in Compromise program allows taxpayers to settle their debt for less than they owe. Another possible solution for people who owe back taxes is an installment agreement. Installment agreements create a payment plan that allows the taxpayer to pay their tax debt in full over time through a regular installment payment.

Help from a company like Tax Hardship Center can prevent taxpayers from experiencing penalties, like wage garnishments, liens, and levies. Ending penalties is harder than setting up an installment agreement or negotiating a settlement. However, depending on your financial situation, penalty abatement is possible. If you already have penalties and can demonstrate financial hardship, a tax professional can help you get penalty abatement, which can make it so you have more money in your budget for your daily expenses.

Industry Accreditations

Tax Hardship Center is accredited by most major U.S. accreditation organizations, including the American Society of Tax Problem Solvers (ASTPS), the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA), the California Society of Enrolled Agents (CSEA), and the National Directory of Tax Professionals.

The company is also an authorized IRS e-file provider and is licensed by the IRS as Power of Attorney for all 50 states.

Accreditations are common in the tax relief industry, but that does not mean they aren’t vital to the customer. Without them, the customer has no sure way of knowing whether any given tax relief company truly has expertise in the field. Accreditation organizations provide a third-party verification of a company’s expertise in the field.      

Focus on Compassionate Tax Help

Tax Hardship Center pushes its employees to listen to customers who are already under a heavy burden and are seeking both financial and emotional relief.

The company states that it understands that tax debt does not have compassion for those it affects; the company promises to stay by the customers’ side to offer support and service throughout the entire process.

Little Information on Tax Experts

The company’s LinkedIn profile suggests that Tax Hardship Center has 2-10 employees, but there is no information on the company’s website about what type of experts it employs (whether they are tax attorneys, CPAs, or enrolled agents).

However, one can infer a small amount of insight into the company’s experience by noting that Tax Hardship Center has been in business since 2012 and advertises savings in one case of $69,751 with only $100 paid in the end.

Additionally, the company’s website has no information regarding pricing.
