In early 2023, I received a letter from the IRS claiming I owed them over $17,000 for my 2021 taxes. I called and they said to send me all the documents from 2021. Several months later, I received another letter claiming I still owed them. I eventually sent them all the documents 3 times. When I filed my 2022 taxes, I was due a refund, they took it as partial payment. This went processed on. In 2023, a friend told me about Advantage Tax Relief. Although it was in the midst of tax season and they were very busy, they agreed to try to help. After talking to John and supplying him with the 2021 tax documents, he began working on my case. In the middle of this, I filed my 2022 taxes and was due another refund. The IRS took that too. John filed the paperwork requesting they review my tax documents again. the end result was that I not only didn't owe any money but they they gave back the 2 refunds they took plus interest.
I would recommend Advantage Tax Relief to anyone having issues with the IRS.

Frequently Asked Questions About Advantage Tax Relief Inc
What do I do if the IRS shows up at my door?
If IRS agents arrive at your residence, maintain a polite demeanor but limit your interaction. Inform them that you have or will be obtaining legal representation to address the issue. After this, promptly contact Advantage Tax Relief Inc for assistance.
What's the difference between a levy and a lien?
A levy involves the actual seizure of your property to settle a tax debt. In contrast, a lien is a legal claim placed on your property, which serves as security for the payment of your tax obligation without immediate seizure.
Can't I handle it alone and talk to the IRS myself to save some money?
While you have the option to communicate with the IRS directly, it's important to consider the risks. Federal agents are trained to extract information that may be used against you. Much like seeking legal counsel for a serious court case, professional representation can be crucial when dealing with tax matters.
Can the IRS take my home?
The Taxpayer's Bill of Rights generally discourages the IRS from seizing primary residences. IRS collectors cannot independently decide to take your home. However, with a court order, seizure becomes possible. Fortunately, you have the right to contest such actions.
Can the IRS take my car?
While the IRS has the authority to seize vehicles, it's an uncommon practice. The agency recognizes that depriving individuals of transportation could hinder their ability to work and, consequently, to repay their tax debts.
Can the IRS garnish my wages, Social Security, and seize my bank account?
The IRS has the authority to garnish wages, Social Security benefits, and seize bank accounts. After due process and with a valid levy, they can take up to 90% of Social Security benefits and other wages, and potentially 100% of bank balances, including IRAs.
Is there a time limit that the IRS has to collect back taxes?
Generally, the IRS has a ten-year statute of limitations for tax collection, starting from the assessment date. However, this rule has significant exceptions. In cases where fraud is suspected, there is no statute of limitations.
My company is quite behind on the payroll taxes. Should I be worried about my personal liability?
Personal liability for unpaid payroll taxes can extend to business owners and other 'responsible parties', even in incorporated entities. This liability, known as the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty, can be severe, potentially reaching 100% of the owed amount. It may affect all signatories on business bank accounts, regardless of their direct involvement in tax matters.
I owe income taxes, but I haven't filed returns for the last three years. What should I do?
Our firm can assist you in filing all overdue tax returns to bring your account current. It's essential to be in compliance, which means having the last six years of returns filed and taxes assessed, before you can qualify for any tax resolution strategies.
I had to relocate for a new job and lost all tax information necessary to file my income tax returns. What should I do?
In such situations, we can obtain the necessary tax transcripts from both the IRS and your state tax agency. This information will enable us to file the required tax returns and bring your account into compliance.
