This company Tax Hardship Center this is a scam. They say they will help you but they will lie to you saying they will call IRS and they just take your money if I new the right lawyer I would go after them,
By Jennifer James L.
My wage was being garnished. I depended on Tax Hardship to help with me with the IRS. There were little to no help from Tax Hardship. I received a consultation phone call from the case manager who was handling my case. They said it will take some time with my IRS resolution. After two months of my wage being garnished, I was the who negotiated with the IRS to release my garnishment. Tax Hardship Center did not provide any help with resolving my wage garnishment. After numerous attempts on a weekly basis, to contact Tax Hardship, they have not gotten back to me on refunding me my payment. Tax Harship will promise you that they can take care of your IRS issues. They will take your money upfront. Avoid at all cost. There are other places that can help you.

SCAM! I spent $3500 on the tax hardship center in 2023. It is now 2026 and they have still not resolved anything! The only thing they did was drag this out for so long that now I am in a worse situation because the penalties and fees have continued to pile up. I owe more now that I did when I hired them to help me. They are now saying the best they can do is put me on a payment plan with the IRS. No reduction, no waived fees, no negotiated amount, literally nothing was done for that $3500 fee! Can you imagine how much the penalties and late fees have accumulated in 3 years while this company was "working on it"? This company does not communicate with you at all. No letters, no emails, no phone calls. What did they even do for their money? I wish I never hired them. I should have dealt with the IRS directly and would not still be in this situation 2026 where now I am going to pay more that ever! They charged me $3500 to drag this out for 3 years which allowed fees to pile up in the thousands!!! They should refund my money. I am going to file a complaint with the BBB!

I was kept informed of every step taken in the process of negotiations with the IRS. I felt like I was taking an active part in the outcome. In addition, the team treated me like a person, and not a number.

I have put out over 4000 with this company. They do not call you to discuss your case. Yes they asked me to send in a copy of how much is in the bank to submit to the IRS in order to get this possibly to where i owe nothing. I don't think they are working on my behalf?? Mike called and stated i needed to redo my 2019. I thought with the money I've paid out this should be included for them to fix. Instead i get a freaking email requesting another 500. WTH is going on here? Unless I actually see results, which i will send in another review.... Do not use these people. They give absolutely no feedback about anything, and your always the one doing the contacting. Stay away!!!! SCAMMERS on innocent hardworking folk!!!!!!!! I still have not heard back from Mike about the response of fixing my 2019! I will let you know the outcome. This has been ongoing for almost a year.

I wrote a detailed review on Google, but this company is a scam. I paid $6000 dollars and they did nothing. They do not communicate at all, and you have to wait weeks for any sort of update even though you are emailing and leaving voicemails. This is not a rant but a warning as I just experienced this. I will be suing for my Money back once I get my tax issues finally rectified. Please be warned and please do not give a dime of your money to these people. The only time I got a response in minutes was when I told them I am no longer their client. The response was "Thank you we will close your account" and that's it. I have e-mail proof to share. Do not use. Do not use!

Nobody is perfect, that is why the 4 star vs 5 star rating. Early on more facts about the IRS and its ability to get decisions about the Fresh Start programs and breakdown of how one fits in. Otherwise, the Tax relief personnel was led in my case with Katherine Hess as my case manager and facts were not coming to her at times for weeks/months at a time. Katherine was a delight to work with, always took the time to make sure I understood what was going on and back it up with data. I am grateful to her service, expertise and patience where I was concerned.
By Michael S.
They helped me out tremendously! Everything was pain and worry free for me. They kept me up to date on the whole process. Katherine Hess was the person working on my case and I couldn't recommend her enough. If you ask for a recommendation for someone to work with your tax problems, I would definitely recommend them!
