It has been two years now and cannot get anyone to help from their office. they had taken a deposit, and will not respond to any questions, written or verbal. Do not what to do at this point. They should be put out of business.

Still have pending tax problems, now out more monies trying to retain, J.K.Harris & Company

I've been trying for several years to clear my account with the IRS. I kept seeing tv ads for jk harris & decided to contact them. The First person I spoke with assured me I definitely qualified to submit an offer in compromise which they would prepare & submit for me for a fee which at the moment I do not remember (I seem to be having this problem so I write everything down) They took 500.00 upfront which was the amount I paid to the IRS each month and the balance was taken in payments out of my checking account by a billing service. I gathered all the information they required of me to prepare this offer & after several months of mailin & faxing the same documents over & over I finally received the offer which was 1501 on a bill of over 18,000.

I called & was assured this was within the realm of acceptance for the IRS. The phone calls I made were seldom returned without me calling several times with the samr question. Very frustrating for me as I was already frustrated with my predicament. ms P called me to say They had received a counter offer from the IRS which they never would provide a copy for my file. Never did know what that counter was as the representative was changed at that very time. this new one has spoken with me to tell me that they were preparing a new offer to present my new info which they kept saying they hadn't recived from me but they finally found ( letter from the dr stating that I had been diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease). since I am employed full time as a caregiver I indicated that I don't know how much longer I can work & will then have only my Social Security (973.00)At the time she called I asked her to come up with a more reasonable offer maybe 7 or 8,000 & she agreed they would. I have never received a call or a document regarding this new offer. i think this back in June 2008.

Now I have received a notice from the IRS that they have placed a lein so it shows on my credit reports- that interest & penalties will continue. I own in joint tenancy which we had intended to sell & can't now so the IRS will not be able to take the proceeds. The IRS has determined that I am in a non collectible status. I do have copies of all my paperwork.I understand there is a class action suit I might be able to join.?4995

ON 11/10/2006 I contacted J. K. Harris in reguards to my back taxes. They were going to help me by deleating a lot of what I owed in back taxes, so they said and for 5000 dollars they could handle it. The amount was quite a lot and I believed what they told me so I jumped for it. I paid J. K. Harris 1000 dollars down and borrowed the rest which totaled another 5100 dollars and I paid it off in five months.

Here it is 09/29/2008 and still nothing has been taken care of. It seems as tho I have done all the work by getting information together and sending it in and calling two and three sometimes four time a week to see what is going on. The IRS levied my Soc. Sec. once and now they are about to do it again as things are not being taken care of as I was told it would be. Meanwhile my tax amount keeps increasing.

So far nothing has been completed and J. K. Harris say they are working on things. What the out come will be I do not know but there is something wrong with this picture. Thank goodness I own nothing but I still have to live and it is on my retirement and Soc. Sec. as I am 65 years old. If I hear nothing soon I may have to go to the IRS my self and see if I can get help from on of their advocates which I shoukld have done at the first place.

I met with the rep from JK Harris in a pretend office, i.e. a room that use in an office in whatever town they are in at the time. He sat there and told me for 2,500 they would make all my back taxes go away. I was leary of his pitch, but was desperate and he was a smooth talker. I did some research and found out that you can get a Tax Advocate from the IRS to help you FOR FREE, so I went that route.

JK Harris keeps calling and bothering me. I am going to turn them into the BBB, as well as other consumer agencies. Their service is nothing but a rip off. SO BEWARE of their smooth advertisements. They do NOTHING but make themselves richer.

I suffer from emotional stress and they keep calling and bothering me. I want to find out where to turn them in so they will stop harrassing me on a daily basis.

I came to JK harris for help and the way it was explained to me, sounded so good that I could not refuse here to find out that the gentelman that I delt with, it was all a lie and I told a lot of friends good things about JK Harris, now I requested a refund and [they] told me could not refund me all of my money but sent me a letter to sign an said would return half,

I still think that is still unfair then the bad part is that I called and they said that we donot know when we will cut you a check that is not a good way of doing buniess. I was never late on a pament and I kept my word and mayed all of my pament on time and with all respect I think that [they] should do the same. Thank you
