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I received a new packet from JK Harris to provide all the information all over again because now the information was outdated.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.

I paid JKHarris a substantial amount of money to handle my problem with the IRS. After a while JKHarris informed me that they could not do anything about my problem with the IRS. I asked for a refund of the money I paid them. They said they would refund 2062.00 of my money back. This was in March of 2008. They said it would take between 90 and 120 days.

In july when the time was up they said it would not be until August 22nd. When August 22nd came, they claimed they could not refund my money at this time, and, that they had no idea when they would be able to return it. I am seeking your help in obtaining my refund from JKHarris tax consultants thank you

Well, I have a 3 months baby on my hand so not much time to describe what JK Harris company done to me. I wish I had seen this page prior to going to them. What I have to say can be said in a few words.

JK Harris company/workers are a bunch of thieves, and instead of helping they make matters worse by taking your money and do then do nothing. I wish there was a way we could get them off the air. Every time I see their commercial it make me so angry that such mess has a right to do what they do to innocent hurting people.

I am still in the same mess I was in, after they took me for my money and did not even make a phone call on my behalf. Someone need to do something to stop these thieves.
