What to Look for (and What to Avoid) When Choosing the Best IRS Tax Help?

When you've got IRS problems it seems like you can't avoid seeing ads for tax relief companies online, on radio and TV. But can you really trust any of these companies? As veterans of the tax relief industry, WATAX has 6 reasons why you should avoid most of them -

  1. Ridiculous high and/or hidden fees.
  2. Investigation fees that don't provide useful info and just prove to be a gimmick that lead to more fees!
  3. Bad advice - or even worse - dishonest advice.
  4. Using scare tactics and misstating urgency to try and pressure you into hiring them.
  5. High employee turnover.
  6. Going out of business. There are a lot of fly-by-night or "ghost" agencies out there. Be sure to check a companies history through an objective source (at minimum scope out BBB, Google or Yelp reviews).

SO what makes WATAX one of the best tax relief companies when you need IRS help? Here's what makes us different -

  • WATAX has been in business 35 years in a industry littered with shuttered offices.
  • Our core staff of experienced E.A.s, attorneys and tax consultants has remained much the same throughout our history.
  • After a thorough interview, WATAX provides a fee upfront that reflects what you should expect to pay to resolve your case. If additional services might be beneficial down the line, we'll offer that for you to decide then.
  • WATAX will thoroughly research every case and provide you with a clear path to compliance based on findings.
  • Recommendations WATAX provides are based on years of institutional knowledge, calm resolve, and years of experience dealing with a myriad of tax issues.
