Top Ranked Companies
The Good
- Variety of Tax Professionals
- High Dollar Unit Cases
- Positive Reviews
Variety of Tax Professionals
IRSPRob.com employs CPAs, and enrolled agents. The firm says its tax professionals’ diverse range of educational backgrounds helps to better serve its clients’ needs. Tax mediation and collection work is a niche service that requires years of experience. While a local CPA or attorney may have general knowledge of your liability issue, they may not have the experience to consult on it. The company also has ready access to tax attorneys that it can bring on board if a case requires.
High Dollar Unit Cases
The IRS has a Large Dollar Unit that specifically handles cases that involve high dollar amounts owed. For Large Dollar Cases, the IRS will send out specially trained Revenue Officers in the local field branches. The IRS gets into significant detail while investigating a taxpayer’s ability to pay and is more aggressive in handling these kinds of cases because the dollar amount is so high. Because of this, it’s absolutely necessary to have professional representation.
IRSProb.com is one of the few firms in the country that has a division dedicated to working on these kinds of high dollar cases. Having a dedicated unit can prove to be a huge advantage if you need assistance with a large tax bill.
Positive Reviews
IRSProb.com has impressive reviews online. Reviewers mention how much they enjoyed working with Martin and his team. They also praise how quickly and professionally Martin was able to resolve their tax issues.
The Bad
- Limited Range of Services
- Minimal Price Information
- Geographic Availability
Limited Range of Services
IRSProb.com can help with common tax problems such as Offers in Compromise, Innocent Spouse Relief, federal tax liens and levies, IRS audits, installment agreements, and trust fund recovery penalties. However, other top-rated tax relief firms often list far more available services.
On the other hand, IRSProb.com claims it’s one of the only firms in the United States with a division that solely handles cases where clients owe more than $1,000,000.
Minimal Price Information
IRSProb.com lists some general price ranges for its services on its website: several hundred dollars for simple tax returns, $1,500–$2,500 for simple tax resolution cases, and thousands of dollars for more complicated cases. However, potential clients must call the firm for a free evaluation to get a more accurate price estimate.
Geographic Availability
IRSProb.com is located in Dallas, Texas and it primarily serves clients in the Dallas metro area. However, the firm has clients in all 50 states across the country and Martin is licensed to practice before the IRS. If you are not located in the Dallas area, IRSProb.com can help via phone, email, and chat. If you prefer in-person service and you aren’t located in Dallas, then this may not be a good fit.
The Bottom Line
IRSProb.com can help clients all across the United States with common tax issues, including installment agreements and IRS audits. Its staff includes enrolled agents, and CPAs, which makes a variety of tax resolution options available to IRSProb.com’s clients. It also can retain tax attorneys as needed.
Those who need help with common tax issues or with more than $1,000,000 in tax debt should consider IRSProb.com, since the firm has a division dedicated to such cases. Those who are comfortable resolving their tax issues over the phone or email should also consider IRSProb.com.
However, because the firm is located in Dallas, Texas, clients who aren’t located near there and prefer to handle their tax problems in person should probably consider a firm with a location near them.
