What Our Clients Are Saying
Real feedback from people we’ve helped navigate their tax situation.
Verified Case
I do not understand how anyone could leave a negative review. I had unfiled tax years and I knew I owed the IRS. I am so happy I chose Tax Hardship to assist. They filed my taxes for previous years and worked with the IRS to set up a payment plan with the IRS that is more than reasonable and affordable. Everyone I worked with was wonderful. Sarah, Alex and Clay were outstanding. An my case manager Katherine Hess was wonderful. My tax issues were resolved quickly and Katherine stayed in contact with me every step of the way and returned all calls quickly. Trust me, if you have tax issues this is the company to use. They go above and beyond and I am so appreciative of the work they did to resolve my issues.

Verified Case
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

Best company to hire when dealing with the IRS. Great team, knowledgable about the tax statutes. Professional, tenacious, honest, affordable, and diligent. They got me the agreement that worked for me. Other companies I hired were incompetent, lazy and had to chase them down once they got my money. Hire Tax Hardship Center first and you won’t need anyone else. Best company and affordable.

I’m so happy I decided to open a case with Tax Hardship. My agent negotiated agreement that has been established where to take care of my debt. She has been so supportive throughout the process, not to mention all the hard work she did for me, I couldn’t be more thrilled with how it all turned out. I would recommend to anyone
Brooks S
Verified Case
I had a Revenue Officer assigned to my account and that made dealing with the IRS feel even more unbearable. I hired Tax Hardship for help and they prevented the Revenue Officer from draining my retirement accounts. I’m in a payment plan that isn’t nearly as bad as I thought it’d be

I’m so happy I decided to open a case with Tax Hardship. They negotiated a payment plan where I’m paying back 10% of my IRS debt. They’ve been so supportive throughout the process, I would recommend to anyone asking

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!
