Testimonials
Trusted tax relief support with clear communication
Tax problems are stressful, especially when letters keep coming, and the consequences feel unclear.
We focus on transparency and education, so you know what is happening, why it is happening, and what the next step is.
I review a lot of businesses. I am fair and want to provide information for people who genuinely are looking at a business to use for themselves. Regarding doing business with the Tax Hardship Center, it’s too good to be true but WOW. They helped me so much. I felt like I was out of a 10-year prison at the end. The feeling I had after they worked out all the issues I had with back tax penalties, etc., was just such a relief.
Special thanks to: Josh Bensimhon, Senior Tax Analyst, my first impression on the phone. After 2 months of searching, he was the first person that put me at ease. Jessy Zhu, Tax Preparer, for the speed and accuracy of getting the electronic form filled in and filed. Leslie Welch, Tax Preparation Associate, who clearly and precisely explained what my role was and the timeline I was on.

Honestly I was really skeptical about getting involved with a company that deals with tax debts. After going down the tax debt resolution rabbit hole I saw so many horror stories other worrisome things, but I needed help.. badly. I got a notice of intent to levy and I knew if I did nothing my life would basically be over so I took a chance and prayed for the best.
I’m glad I did because it worked out better than I ever could have expected. Jeremy helped me understand my options and made the plan as well as the fees easy to understand and straight forward.
It ended up getting resolved better than I could have hoped for and I can finally sleep again.
I’m grateful to Jeremy, Kimberly, and the rest of my team. Thank you Tax Hardship Center

If you have unresolved tax issues, this is the company work with – I had a stellar experience and my tax issues were resolved in a much shorter time period than I had anticipated. Sarah, Alex and Clay were absolutely wonderful. All calls were returned promptly and they took the time to answer all questions I had. I very much appreciate their patience.
Katherine Hess was my case manager and she was absolutely wonderful to work with-she too answered all calls promptly and stayed in close contact every step of the way and her kindness, professionalism and patience were very much appreciated. I cannot recommend this company enough. If you have unresolved tax issues this is the company to work with-they go above and beyond for their clients!

I didn’t know if Tax Hardship could help me. I hadn’t filed tax returns in years and the IRS was sending me bills so I got scared and buried my head in the sand. I knew I had to do something about it when the letters started coming more frequently and seemed to be getting more aggressive. I decided to hire Tax Hardship and they were incredible.
My tax prepares got my returns filed quickly and the resolution team was a God send! They kept me updated throughout the process and answered all my questions. I’m now in “good standing” with the IRS

Frequently asked questions
Tax relief questions we hear every day
Can the IRS settle tax debt for less than the full amount?
Yes, in certain cases. An Offer in Compromise is a real IRS program, but approval depends on eligibility, compliance, and documented finances.
Can you help stop wage garnishment or a bank levy?
Often, yes. The right move depends on the type and timing of the notice. Acting quickly matters because missing deadlines can limit your options.
Do I need to file my tax returns before I can get tax relief?
In many situations, yes. Most relief options require returns to be filed, or to be filed as part of the resolution plan.
What happens if I ignore an IRS notice?
Notices can escalate from reminders to collection actions, including liens, levies, or wage garnishment. Responding earlier usually gives you more flexibility.
Can the IRS take my tax refund if I owe back taxes?
In many cases, yes. Refunds can be applied to past-due balances until the debt is resolved or a formal plan is in place.
What is an IRS installment agreement, and do I qualify for one?
An installment agreement is an IRS payment plan. Qualification depends on your balance, filing status, and your ability to make payments that meet IRS requirements.
Can I lower my IRS monthly payment if I cannot afford it?
Sometimes. The IRS may consider different terms or other relief paths depending on your income, expenses, and overall financial situation.
What is the Currently Not Collectible status?
It is a hardship status that may pause IRS collection activity when paying would create financial strain. It is not forgiveness, but it can provide breathing room.
Can IRS penalties be reduced or removed?
In some cases, yes. Penalty relief depends on the type of penalty and whether you meet IRS criteria, such as reasonable cause or other eligibility pathways.
How long does tax relief take?
Timelines vary based on tax years involved, filing needs, IRS processing, and the program used. During your consultation, you will get a realistic timeline for your situation.
