Tax Law Advocates

Everyone at Tax Law Advocates helped my family with our tax issuesThey were very kind and quick with all of their helpthank you

This company is a scam per the IRS! My husband called the IRS to talk to them about his back taxes, this company told him his account was in non collectible status for the last years and the IRS told him his account was never in non collectible statusThat they submitted an inaccurate incomplete application, which by the way he could have filled out himself, it's a very easy formThey did nothing else for himThey lied to him and tried to get more money from him later because they claimed the IRS denied his request to get his taxes loweredThey are scammers and liars!! I hope no one else falls for their scam!

This client called in, and wanted to move forward with our serviceHe gave us verbal authorization to process his card (which we still have proof of)Then we called the client almost on a daily basis to request the necessary documents required to move forward with his caseHe continued to say he would be sending them backThen, finally I followed up with him, and he stated that he know longer wished to proceed, and wanted a refundI replied to him that was more than fine, and within a week from informing us he no longer wished to proceed he received a check that was mailed to him in the amount of $658.00, which was cashed and cleared.The fact the client is saying it was an unauthorized payment is slanderHe did give us authorization, and for a month he continued to say he was moving forward with the case and will be sending us the documents we requestedThen, after letting us know he wanted a refund received one

Customer can verify that he has already been contacted and that he would be receiving a refund Customer can also verify that he would be withdrawing his complaint

TAX LAW ADVOCATES....Was Very Very helpful with my brother Financial challenges with the IRSThank you so muchI want to SINCERELY Thank STEPHANIE V For her PATIENCE and DEDICATION towards my Brother and II had to sometimes help my Brother with this because he didnt understand and she walked me through it so I could help him and she always had a PLEASANT ATTITUDE

As discussed with our client tax preparation for and was not included in our clients original fee, and contractWe explained this to the client on the due date of his returns however, due to the inconvenience we called the IRS to extend his deadline an additional two weeks, so our client can either come up with the funds to pay us to handle the returns or find an alternative preparer We also understand it is difficult for clients to pay the entire fee at once which is why we offered this client to split up the fee in payments to alleviate some of the financial pressureWe discussed these points with our client and he now agrees he misunderstood the circumstances of the situation and we are now actively working with one another to complete his case

After speaking with a representative from Tax Law Advocates I was led to believe they could assist with reducing my back taxes I paid them $2,and they did nothing on my behalf that I could have not done on my own very easily They had me gather my information and they got me a payment plan with the IRS I could have done that on my own and put the $2,towards my back taxes I feel I was mislead and waste a large fee that could have put a significant dent in my back taxes VERY DISAPPOINTING to say the least!

With the amounts of calls you received on all these companies telling you they can help with taxes you don't know where to turnI had talked to many others before making my decisionIt took me awhile but I felt at ease with tax law advocatesThey explained all the facts and how my situation would be handled.I didn't feel like a "sales" call, I felt they truly want to help peopleThis is the best decision I madeThey have answered any questions I had and kept me updated through out the entire processNow that my case is settled I'm happy to say I received great news!Thank you once again Tax Law Advocates team and especially [redacted] for always keeping me informed You have exceed my expectations.I appreciate all the hard work your team put into it

Hello Ms***,You stated that we did not respond to either notice of compliant you sent in May, or the request for refund you sent in JulyIn actuality, we sent you both emails, letters, as well as made phone calls before and after both letters sentWe also directly responded to your request for refund, stating that if you wished to have a refund, we would just need to set up a phone call between you and I, as per our protocolWe received absolutely no response from you in reference to thatThe initial letter of "compliant" you submitted, our firm received on May 25, 2017, we responded the same day we received the letter and requested that you contact our firm, as it is our protocol, we then proceeded to contact you in the following dates:June 4:21pm PST, requesting updated financials from you and requesting to discuss the letter that you submitted.June 1:42pm PST, [redacted] emailed you the following:Subject: TAX LAW ADVOCATES Message:***,I have called and left several messages for you in the past couple weeks and have not heard backIt is urgent that I speak with you about your case and the resolution we have come up with for your investigationPlease give me a call & hope to be hearing from you soonThank YouEntered by [redacted] on 6/13/1:00:PMJuly 3:29pm PST, We called, left a voicemail, again requesting standard updated financials, so we are able to fulfill our obligations to youJuly 3:33pm PST, We emailed you a letter stating that we have yet to receive the financials you have requested, and we will need that immediately to proceed with resolution.You then sent a letter that we received on July 2017, requesting a refund, to which we called you the same day on July 9:02am PST, to which you did not answer then prompted our email on July 9:06am PST, which stated the following:Comment posted by [redacted] on [Mon Jul 09:AM 2017]:Client sent in another complaint letterI have forwarded the following note over to *** [redacted] has advised me to email client to set up a phone conference in regards to her case since she has not been responding to my phone calls or emailsI emailed the client the followingGood Morning Ms***,I had just received your letter in response to me trying to get in constant contact with you in regards to your caseIn order for us to move forward with your resolution or even be able to give you a refund, You will need to call into our office first and speak with my Supervisor [redacted] in regards to your caseI would love to set up a phone conference between Yourself, myself and [redacted] in regards to the request you have madePlease let me know when a good day and time is for you?Best Regards,________________________________________________________________________...⇄ never denied you request for refund, we simply have a protocol that we are required to follow, to grant a refund which simply requires us to go over the details of your fileTo which you never, responded even after our countless attempts to reach youWe of course want to proceed with resolution, however, if you are unwilling to, then we need to follow a certain set of rules our firm has set in place to proceed that is allWe also contacted you multiple times after your notice, to attempt to proceed with resolutionShould you wish to receive the times, dates, and content of those requests please let me know.You stated that not one single service that you have hired us for has been completed, so I would like to break that down:You hired us for investigation and review, which entails us contacting the IRS and figuring out your current status with them, any balances owed, and any years you may need to fileFor any years that require filing we receive your wage and income transcripts to figure out exactly how much money has been reported against you.On Monday December 12, at 9:43am PST we contacted Internal Revenue Service and spoke with Ms [redacted] ID# [redacted] Who provided us with the years that you were missing: 2010, 2012-and we then ordered your wage and income transcripts which I will attach in a separate email.After contacting the state of California as well on December 22, on 11:am and speaking to MrDimple, he informed us that you had a current balance of:TOTAL: $21,$4,SFR$17,SFR FTLBoth years were what's called SFR's (substitute for returns) where the IRS or state will go in and file your tax returns for you, and allow you no write offs whatsoever, and it usually results in a inflated overall balanceSo we refiled your and tax returns, which effectively reduced the balance for the aforementioned, to the following:Comment posted by Dean Johnson on [Fri May 10:AM 2017]:State Tax PrepCA $ 1,CA $ 7,144___________________________________________________________________________...⇄ only thing left to do, was go in and finalize a resolution centered around your ability to payOn March of you submitted financials over to us, and because it does take a few months for state to officially post you new balances, it required us to request more recent financials (updated bank statements, paystubs, etc) in order to finalize your resolutionWe did not agree to get your case done by March of It states that absolutely no where on your contractJust by demanding it be done by then, does not require us to finalize itThat is furthest from the truthPlease read the contract carefully and you will find that nowhere does it that we are bound by a March deadlineThe only mention of March was your payment, which has no relationship with your case resolutionIn fact, what you will find is that you are in violation of your contract, please reference client's responsibilitiesI also requested that [redacted] the assigned case manager move forward to gather updated financials from you so we can proceed to close out your fileYou have sent us financials, and we stated we only needed more recent financials, because that is what the Internal Revenue Service would request as wellAnd per the contract you signed, it is your client responsibility to comply with informational request our firm would makeYou stated in multiply times that we "lost or misplaced" your financial informationThat is absolutely nefarious, we have never misplaced any item that we have received from you, and retain all of your information that you have sent, or we have received on your account thus farI would like to know what has made you come to that conclusion? That is a very serious claim to make that our firm misplaced very sensitive information that you have provided, especially if it is completely unfoundedThose kinds of unsubstantiated remarks, would require our firm to make every effort to clear

Unfortunately, we can only put a hold on collections for a certain period of timeThe hope is in that period of time we are able to get all the documentation required to set up resolution with IRSHowever, it took us a longer period of time to gather all the information we required, within the time unfortunately, the collection hold expiredOnly three days after we received the documentation we initially requested, we resolved the client's federal liability

Revdex.com:I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.Thank you for the response It appears that there can not be a resolution As you can obviously tell from their response, they will continue to try to scam consumers To respond to their statements: "It appears there is some confusion regarding our product/service and intent" They sent un-solicited messages stating that they had recently had conversations with me about financial matters I never had conversations with them I do not discuss financial matters with companies that call me I only discuss finances with companies who I call When I called them, their agent who said he is name was "Matt" told me that the person in the fax was not a real person The persons name was used to make it the fax look legitimate "Matt" demanded sensitive personal information to continue the call And refused to remove me from their list because my phone number is "a valid phone numberTheir intent is clear Identity theft by phishing "We only market direct to businesses and not to residential consumersMoreover, we only use opt-in/verifiable and permissible data for such marketing campaigns." The number they called is registered as a residential line at the LEC I have had the number for over years I have never run a business from my home I don't take business calls on my home number I don't normally have a fax machine at home; although, I did connect one to determine the source of the calls I never optto any spam lists I never oto any lists I opt-out of lists from the companies with whom I do business I have never "done business' with this group Considering the points above - their spam lists could not be "verifiable and permissible""Additionally, we never market at “all hours” only once every weeks at 11:AM EST on a weekday direct to the business." Simply incorrect I have received calls at many different hours including late in the evenings and early in the morningHowever, we do acknowledge that inadvertent errors can happen and it’s possible we tried to reach the consumer by mistakeThe fax transmission in question is for a real and genuine product and contains three different forms of toll-free communication for the recipient to opt-out Again, considering the points above, this comment means nothing"Again, we apologize for the mistake/intrusion and ask that he call 877-529- [redacted] to have any fax number removed from future correspondence by First American Capital" There is no reason for me to call them, I never asked to be spammed It should not be my responsibility to support their activities They are the scammers & spammers I do not wish to do business with them Although we know they will never remove anyone, they can simply strip the numbers in the [redacted] exchange from their list Then people can "opt-in" to their wonderful service Regards, [redacted] ***

I consider myself an individual who is not easily convinced by the opinion or experience of others I go directly to the source and that is exactly what I did when I first contacted TAX LAW ADVOCATES with questions and great doubts After hearing and complying with their requests, the unbelievable happened, the IRS responded totally in my favor agreeing to what my advocates submitted!! Thanks to the professionalism and knowledge of all the staff at TAX LAW ADVOCATES, especially CRYSTAL C who, besides being extremely professional, always responded my calls on a timely manner providing me with the most updated information in such a way that I totally trusted her knowledge, skills and service If you do your part, TAX LAW ADVOCATES will provide you with POSITIVE RESULTS!!!

Dealing with the Internal Revenue Service is extremely frustrating, overwhelming and difficultSimple communication with the IRS is non - existing Those whomever have had to make a call or inquire for some IRS guidance truly understand you never speak to the same person and almost always have to wait for a long period of time just to speak with a IRS representativeGod forbid if you have to attempt to resolve a tax issueAfter continuous attempts to resolve a past tax issue, I finally decided that I must seek legal assistance Tax Law Advocates is a great company with highly dedicated staff that provides outstanding service and excellent resultsT.L.Areviewed two years of my previous tax returns and was instrumental in recovering $5,of tax returns which reduce some of my tax obligationOnce I hired the team, they immediately hit the ground running and managed to move in a direction within days that I could not achieve in monthsI am so impressed with their overall skillsSuch a pleasure to interact with a firm and its members that staff has such positive amenities My tax issue is on track and look forward to them being completely resolvedI am so glad that I have T.L.Aon my team and look forward to their services in the future for all my tax returns and guidanceMoreover I highly recommend Tax Law Advocates service for all areas of service from simple tax returns to tax resolutionAgain Thank you T.L.A [redacted] B

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below The wage garnishment was released but the funds that were taken from me have not beem recoveredIf the company would have been doing the job that they were paid in full for this would have never occurred therefore the funds that were taken from me from the wage garnishment should be refunded to meThis has yet to happen or anyone in the company even address the situation even though it has been brought to their attention on many occasionsThey just skip around it as if it is not there problem Regards, [redacted]

RevDex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.The reason I am not satisfied with this response is I have been told this same thing since 2012. They said the IRS takes 7-12 months and it's already been three years, I also have not heard from them since last year nor will they return my calls at one point they told me the IRS agent was not responding so all they could do is wait that was almost a year ago. Regards, [redacted]

I listened to the initial conversation Mr [redacted] had with Mr [redacted] , and unfortunately Mr [redacted] mentioned no where in the conversation that he sold a property or made any money off of itFurthermore, the reason our firm took months in resolving Mr [redacted] 's case is because after finding out he did not qualify for the offer and compromise program we attempted every other method of resolutionIncluding but not limited to amending a tax return based on the fact Mr [redacted] stated it was done in correctly, which after amending the return we came to find out it was notWe also made sure Mr [redacted] had no lien filed against him due to him owing moneyAs far as receiving any money back, we refunded half of what he paid our firm despite the fact the work was done on Mr [redacted] 's caseHe is not owed any additional money

A rebuttal on case # [redacted] ........My initial conversation with [redacted] , I told him that I sold my house in southern coloI told him that I made a little money on the saleI ask him if that would hurt me to gualified for serviceHe told me that we would discuss that later.I told him how much money I had in the bankHe said the fee would be $So I send payments of $June 4, June 25, July I would think he would know by then that I didn't qualified, but he took my money anywaystill it took months for them to tell me that I didn't qualifiedI called twice a week to check on the situation, but after they stole my money they would not answer my phone callsthey sat on their hands for monthsbefore I found out the out comevery disappointed that I didn't receive the services that [redacted] said he could doRevdex.com please put this out on internet and general public for people to see, how bad Tax Law Advocates do businessespecially now that it is tax season...................Thank youthey charged me $after I complained they gave me back $1250.00, but sitting on their hands, and waiting months to find out that I didn't qualified, with no resultsI think I deserved additional $for the bad service...............thank you

Awesome service
