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

On their promise they could indeed help us and after they received their payment in full, they did absolutely nothing.I would have to call for 3 or 4 days just to talk to someone and then the IRS agent told us they were not doing anything to help us but it was almost too late.

We were told we were going to lose everything we had.We have to sell our things just to get by. My husband medical problems have also escalated.He is diabetic and because of the stress can't control his blood sugar.

Called JKH to help with taxes. Met at office in Boulder,Co. Started paying 100.00 a month back in April 7th, 2007 with a 500.00 down payment. Balance of 1500.00 total. In December 2007 I needed to pay the IRS so that I can close on my new house. I called JKH and told them what I had to do. They said they would send me a refund minus administrative costs.

March 2008 I recieved this letter from JKH stating my refund. That they will be sending it in 90 to 120 days just sign this letter and send it back. Here it is Sept. 16th, 2008 and everytime I call they give me this number that goes directly to an answering machine. Help!

I originally signed up with JK Harris by meeting with a representative at a local office. He went over all my information and told me that he could get my IRS and FTB debts down to about 7500 each, which as considerably lower than what I owed. I was eager to get this resolved so I signed up with JK Harris. The fee was about 4800 to resolve the tax liability. I had some cash problems, but in July 2007 I paid JK Harris in full.

On July 13, 2007 I received an e-mail from Melissa stating that they had received all my paperwork and a case specialist would be getting in touch with me. Upon speaking to the case specialist a week or so later, he told me he had all the information he needed and he was preparing my offer in compromise. At this time I owed approximately 120,000 to the IRS and approximately 19,000 to the FTB. (Taxes for 2002 thru 2004 had already been paid to the FTB by liens on my home and my bank accounts. JK Harris did nothing to stop the liens!)

I did not receive the offer in compromise from the case specialist and when I called to follow up I was told that he was no longer in the department and the information he gave me was incorrect and I would be assigned a new case specialist. In September 2007 I received a new packet from JK Harris to provide all the information all over again because now the information was outdated. Latasha was assigned as my case specialist.

After months of arguing with this person because she was treating me as though I was the enemy instead of treating me like she was there to help, I have been assigned another case specialist. Now its September 2008 and I finally received my offer in compromise. The offer is to pay the FTB 27,000 lump sum (on a 19,000 debt) and the IRS 21,000 lump sum or 48,000 in payments. My debt to the IRS with interest and penalties has grown to 213,000 because of JK Harris not taking care of this in a timely manner!

In the last year I have lost my home, my job and am deep in debt. I have nothing left. Every time I see a JK Harris commercial, I want to throw up! This company should be put out of business for false advertising! I wish I would have read consumer complaints before I wasted my money!

IRS debt has grown from approximately 120,000 to 213,000 with interest and penalties.
