Do Tax Settlement Companies Really Work? They Can But Sometimes They Close On You

Here we answer another commonly asked tax relief question:

Do tax settlement companies really work?

The answer is yes if they stay open long enough and your numbers actually work for a settlement. The list of tax relief companies that are no longer open goes on and on. Some names include JK Harris, American Tax Relief, and Blue Tax. Clients typically get left in the dust with no one to complete their case.

If you hire a tax law firm instead to complete your case, they are obligated to complete it. If they cannot complete it for some reason they are obligated to transfer your case to a competent attorney. Otherwise, the attorneys can get suspended or even disbarred.

Tax relief companies are owned by unlicensed professionals and generally are a corporation or LLC. If their finances go bad there is no liability they can just close on you. Unfortunately, this happens quite often.

That's why we would not recommend hiring a tax relief company. Also some cases where a tax relief company, and even some tax attorneys, may try to get you to hire them, are actually super simple and you can do it yourself.
