They took a lot of pressure off of us. So far they have done everything they said they would. I always spoke to a person, not a computer. They were always kind and friendly and knew about our situation.

I would put a negative 10. Look for someone who provides customer services and will do what they say! They are worse than dealing with the IRS because I paid Optima $7000 to "resolve my tax issues!" Customer service is nonexistent. They have waited over a year and waited till more taxes have fallen outside the statute of limitations. IRS will not pursue you for taxes owed over 10 years. If you want to keep your sanity, find someone else to use!!! Please!!!

They were excellent. Responsive, courteous, willing to answer your questions and take the time to help you understand. Also the prices were not bad. I could have called them all the time because they're willing to help and anything I didn't understand they would be willing to explain. They perform at a high level of confidence and professionalism. Patience for those of us who didn't understand.

No waste your money. They charge $500 to give you the same information that you can have on the irs web page. Then they told you that they can fix the debt that you have for $2.000 or more, and the only thing they do is to talk to the IRS to avoid the penalty, you can do that with a tax accountant for $200. You’re welcome!
The Final Word
Optima Tax Relief only accepts clients with at least $10,000 of tax debt. Community Tax has a lower threshold — $7,000. If you have less than $10,000 in tax debt, Optima Tax Relief is not an option for you.
Both Community Tax and Optima Tax Relief offer three plans for preventive tax monitoring. Community Tax’s base plan is free. It includes tax monitoring, quarterly reports, access to discount codes, and comes with the TaxPal mobile app.
While it’s nice to have access to preventive monitoring for free, Optima Tax Relief’s base plan offers more services, like tax preparation software and identity theft monitoring. If you’re interested in those services, it may be worth it to choose Optima Tax Relief over Community Tax.
Optima Tax Relief also offers two additional protection plans. One is designed for self-employed people and the other for W-2 earners. Community Tax also has two additional plans: one is designed for business owners and the other is designed for individuals. The kind of protection plan you need will affect which company is best for you.
