I wish i would have seen this site last year, I have a huge amount i owe, its up to like 225k I hired a company 4 years ago and then they bellied up after covid. I was out $15,000 then i hired these guys and i have had 5 different case managers and this last was seem very nice and like she was handling things, then when i called, they said \"oh you have to make a payment, first, of course i said *&&^^%#@#% no not making a payment until i speak to a supervisor, this was just a few days ago, they tell me oh she's not open for an appointment until April 16th. So i think now after hearing all this, they are waiting until the payments are almost complete 13k and drop the bad news with emty promises, they already said the fresh start is i wont get anymore penalties.. DUH! because i'll be making payments for the next 25 years. Some fresh Start! such crap. The bad thing is ? not even my debt, i went out of the country for 2 years, had a disabled brother and put my name and SS# in a business, so he could Keep his SS. he was a stringer, sold late night video crime footage to the media. made about 5 k a year no big deal, well he boomed when i was gone $180k a year, so when i got back i had a 80 tax bill, and they took my passport havent been able to be with wife and daughter almost 10 years now. The my brother died. No help from him. SO if this doesnt work i guess its chapter 11 bankrupt.","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"steve","url":""}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/moneydoneright.com\/taxes\/tax-relief\/taxrise-review\/#Comment7","dateCreated":"2024-07-03 11:19:18","description":"I have paid Tax Rise a lot of money and they did NOT get me tax relief.

I don't believe they did.  I have seen no official response from the IRS declining my case.  I'm just supposed to trust them. That was my mistake in the first place. I went to Optima Tax Relief first and they were honest and told me my request for relief would likely be denied.  Then, out of desperation, I got hooked in by these liars and scam artists who told me \"you're case is a slam dunk. We'll get your whole tax burden relieved.\" They then proceeded to extort me out of $7,000 from some shady loan company they work with.  I got an email after months saying the IRS declined my request and basically, too bad for you. Now I owe $10k MORE than I did when I started with these creeps. Do they care? Of course they don't. They don't care about you.  This is one of the most despicable, morally bankrupt company I have ever worked with in ANY industry.  They make loan sharks look like pillars of integrity.

Despite its short history, the company claims it has helped its clients save over $132 million in tax debts and has leveraged cutting-edge technology to revolutionize the tax relief process.But does TaxRise\u2019s tax resolution services match its rhetoric? To find out, I decided to do some in-depth research on the company\u2019s services and customer reviews. Below is what I found.Note: It has come to our attention that TaxRise is engaging in questionable marketing practices, claiming that the IRS has announced a “2023 Fresh Start Program” when nothing of the sort has been announced. If you’d like to talk to a legitimate tax relief company, please contact Choice Tax Relief at (866) 8000-829.False; the IRS has made no such announcement of a “2023 Fresh Start Program.” pic.twitter.com\/91LtD9je3l\u2014 Logan Allec, CPA (@loganallec) August 23, 2023Table of ContentsToggleHow Does TaxRise Work?TaxRise At a GlanceTaxRise FeesTaxRise Pros and ConsIs TaxRise Legit?Alternatives to TaxRiseIs TaxRise Worth It?Final ThoughtsFrequently Asked QuestionsHow Does TaxRise Work?TaxRise advertises a two-phase process for resolving your tax debts on its website: The process involves a tax discovery and resolution stage, which are described in further detail below.Phase I: Tax DiscoveryIf you want to retain TaxRise\u2019s services, the first step under the tax discovery phase is requesting a free consultation with one of the company\u2019s \u201ctax experts.\u201dBased on the website, this expert will be able to determine your eligibility for tax relief within 15 minutes and explain the next steps in your case. After initial contact, a so-called \u201ctax investigation specialist\u201d will obtain your IRS file\/notices and determine the options best suited for your case. This investigation will supposedly culminate in a \u201ccase discovery analysis,\u201d where a tax resolution specialist will determine the best option forward, which he or she will review with you and present for your approval.TaxRise\u2019s approach does sounds thoughtful and professional, but the client reviews seem to undermine this impression..For example, one former client claimed that, in the initial stages, \u201c[t]hey will go above and beyond to reassure you that you are an excellent candidate for the fresh start initiative and list why.\u201d However, she cautioned that the \u201ctax experts\u201d are \u201ctrained well to hook you.\u201d Specifically, upon signing with TaxRise, the client found a \u201chighly disorganized\u201d company where it was hard to reach anyone, where the database to upload documents was constantly malfunctioning, and where the company frequently sent automated emails\/texts with erroneous schedules and times. Ultimately, the client claimed that he paid a $7,500 fee to the company just to get on a payment plan with the IRS.I have no way of knowing whether Ashley\u2019s claims and others like it are accurate. However, if her review is true, her experience contradicts TaxRise as a competent and thorough tax relief firm. Rather, her review paints a picture of a company that will do and say anything to get you to sign up for its services without actually delivering quality tax resolution services.Phase II: Tax ResolutionOnce you approve the proposed option for your case, the next step in the process is the tax resolution phase. During this stage, the company claims it will file any past-due tax returns and submit the proposed resolution to the IRS. The company will also supposedly detail your post-resolution tax obligations to ensure your continued compliance with the IRS.Again, these steps seem sensible, but several client reviews do not back up the company claims. In one review, for instance, one former client complained that \u201c[the company] mislead[s] you about the very small chance of getting the tax savings program.\u201d Despite the company\u2019s promises and paying $4,000 in fees, the client claimed that all the company did was propose an installment plan that the client could have done himself.Mwandishi\u2019s experience, if true, is a far cry from what the company promises during the tax resolution phase. His review also suggests that the company invests substantially in salespeople to get you to sign up for its services rather than prioritizing the quality representation that is needed to successfully resolve your case.How to Qualify for TaxRise ReliefAs mentioned above, the first step in the process is requesting a free tax consultation with TaxRise to go over your case.Based on its website, TaxRise requires a minimum tax debt of $5,000 to work with you, which is relatively lower than its competitors.Beyond that, the company discloses no other requirements on its website.TaxRise At a Glance.simple_table-51039 table tr th{\ttext-align: center;\t\t}.simple_table-51039 table tr td{\ttext-align: center;\t\t}Free ConsultationYesServicesTax ResolutionTax ComplianceFeesBased on BBB client reviews, the fees can range from $2,700 to $7,500Minimum Debt Required$5,000Refund PolicyUnclearDedicated Case ManagerYesSpeed of Service3 - 8 monthsLocation AvailabilityAll 50 StatesPhone Number(833) 419-7473 Services OfferedTaxRise provides similar tax resolution services as its competitors, including the following:Offer in CompromiseInstallment AgreementsCurrently Not Collectible StatusPenalty AbatementThe company also offers tax preparation\/compliance (including back tax filings) to individuals.TaxRise FeesTaxRise does not disclose the estimated costs of its services. Instead, the company includes the typical disclaimers on its websites that fees are determined on a \u201ccase-by-case basis\u201d and dependent on your tax liability situation and the relief program you pursue.However, based on client reviews, the estimated fees are as follows:.simple_table-51041 table tr th{\ttext-align: center;\t\t}.simple_table-51041 table tr td{\ttext-align: center;\t\t}Discovery Analysis Fee$500+Resolution Fee$2,700 to $7,500 (Can Be Higher Depending on the Case) Discovery Analysis FeeThe company charges a \u201cdiscovery analysis\u201d fee of approximately $500. This fee covers the company\u2019s initial review of your case and evaluation of the best option to resolve your tax debts.Resolution FeeBased on several client reviews, the total resolution fees ranged from $2,700 to $7,500, which is generally in line with the fees at other tax relief firms.Despite this, many clients reported being scammed by the company and believed that TaxRise was ultimately not worth the money. In addition, in at least two reviews, the clients claimed they were quoted resolution fees of $12,000 by the company.How Much Could You Save with TaxRise?The amount of money you can save with TaxRise depends on your specific tax debt case.On its website, the company advertised that it was able to substantially reduce its clients\u2019 tax debts.However, several reviews on the BBB website paint a different story. Specifically, the former clients in these reviews claimed that the company did nothing to advance their case once the fees were paid or negotiated an installment plan that they could have done themselves.TaxRise Pros and ConsProsPros Low Minimum Required Debt: TaxRise requires a minimum tax debt of $5,000 to work with you, which is relatively lower than its competitors.ConsConsPoor client service: Several reviewers complained about TaxRise’s failure to return phone calls\/emails or provide updates on their cases after receiving its fees.Lack of Expertise: Based on a number of reviews, the company lacked the expertise to successfully resolve their clients\u2019 tax debt cases.Guarantee Policy: TaxRise has a vague money-back guarantee policy that arguably is not a guarantee at all.Is TaxRise Legit?TaxRise has a 3.79 (out of 5.0) rating on BBB, but has a number of negative client reviews. Notably, the company has responded to and closed 200 complaints over the last three years. Below is a representative sample of the negative reviews on the BBB website..simple_table-51044 table tr th{\ttext-align: center;\t\t}.simple_table-51044 table tr td{\ttext-align: center;\t\t}ReviewerIssueMy Take (Assuming Reviewer\u2019s Claims are True)Duane and Paulette P.09\/12\/2022Duane and Paulette reached out to TaxRise to help with their California tax debts.According to the former clients, the company failed to do anything for their case for two years, even though they paid all its fees.Interestingly, TaxRise representatives initially tried to negotiate with the IRS, despite the fact that Duane and Paulette only had state tax debts with the California tax agency. Even when the company did turn its attention to their California tax debts, the former clients claimed the company representatives \u201crevealed their lack of interest, lack of knowledge, lack of enthusiasm, and lack of effort\u201d for resolving their case.Ultimately, after a year upon retaining TaxRise, Duane and Paulette claimed the company proposed a settlement offer of exactly what they owed in the first place, with monthly payments they could not afford.Duane\u2019s and Paulette\u2019s experience, if true, is concerning.First, the fact that TaxRise attempted to negotiate with the IRS even though they did not have federal tax debts frankly shows the company\u2019s incompetence in managing the case and representing clients before the IRS and\/or state tax agencies.Additionally, the clients also claimed that the company left them in the same (or even worse) position with the California state tax agency than they were before. To be fair, not most individuals qualify for certain tax debt reduction programs such as the Offer in Compromise. That said, a good tax advisor would disclose this possibility upfront.However, the fact that Duane and Paulette expressed surprise at TaxRise\u2019s proposed settlement (especially at a monthly payment they could not afford) suggests that the company either did not disclose the difficulty of qualifying for tax relief or over-promised the scope of their relief during the consultation stage.Sandie K06\/06\/2022Sandie retained TaxRise to help resolve her tax debts with the IRS.She claimed that, during the process, the company provided poor client service, including a failure to respond back to messages for days, changing her case manager over 6 times, and not being able to field questions about her case.Ultimately, due to TaxRise\u2019s lack of responsiveness and expertise, the Offer in Compromise that the company was filing on her behalf did not \u201cgo through.\u201d The client then claimed she reached out to a tax attorney, who informed her that her case could not even qualify for OIC relief.Sandie\u2019s review, if true, is troubling. TaxRise advertises a comprehensive investigation and resolution of your case on its website, but Sandie K\u2019s experience and other reviews paint a vastly different story. That is, the company provides poor client service and\/or routinely ignores your case once it receives the fee.The fact that Sandie learned that her case could not even qualify for OIC relief also suggests that the company sold her on tax reduction relief without properly evaluating whether her case even qualified for such relief.Sandy C.04\/28\/2022Sandy hired TaxRise to help resolve her tax debts. To pay the company\u2019s fees, she paid $750 upfront and took out two loans totaling $15,000 from TaxRise\u2019s financing arm, which she agreed to repay with payments of $700 per month.Despite these steep payments and months of going back and forth, TaxRise surprised the client by informing her that it could do nothing to lower her tax debts.Sandy also claimed that the company essentially told her to call the IRS to negotiate a payment plan herself. According to the client, the company then subsequently dropped her as a client.Sandy\u2019s experience, if true, is quite disturbing.Despite charging her extremely high fees, the company essentially did nothing for her case. This is perhaps best exemplified by TaxRise\u2019s request that Sandy call the IRS to negotiate a payment plan herself.To be fair, very few individuals actually qualify for tax reduction relief programs, and the company should be upfront about this. However, the company appeared to fail at disclosing this possibility, given Sandy\u2019s surprise that the company\u2019s response that it could do nothing for her case.Even if the company did disclose this to the client, TaxRise\u2019s fees of over $15,000 seem steep and unreasonable, especially since the company ultimately came to the conclusion that it would not be able to lower her tax debts. Guarantee DisclaimerOn its website, TaxRise provides a money back guarantee if the company does not enroll the client in a tax resolution program. As currently stated, the guarantee is quite vague. Does a \u201ctax resolution program\u201d include an installment plan?
